The main objective this research was translate, adapt validate Patient‐Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) using a sample primary health‐care professionals Spain. Methods Baseline analysis PPOS scores for 321 (general practitioners nurses) from 63 centres 3 Spanish regions participating randomized controlled trial. We analysed missing values, distributions descriptive statistics, item‐to‐scale correlations internal consistency. Performed were confirmatory factor (CFA) 2‐factor model ( sharing caring dimensions), scale depuration principal component (PCA). Results Low inter‐item observed, CFA only obtained good fit data after excluding 8 items. Internal consistency 10‐item acceptable (0.77), but low individual subscales (0.70 0.55). PCA results suggest possible 3‐factor structure. Participants showed patient‐oriented style (mean = 4.46, SD 0.73), with higher than . Conclusion Although empirical support, measurement indicators dimension) could improved. overall show attitude, although less marked issues such patients’ need management medical information.
