title: [Adapting and validating in Spanish the 4CornerSAT questionnaire to measure career satisfaction of specialized care physicians. Andalusia, Spain].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Satisfaction of physicians is a concern in the healthcare sector, and it requires a multi-dimensional questionnaire in Spanish which studies their high-order needs. The objectives of this study are to adapt the 4CornerSAT Questionnaire to measure career satisfaction of physicians and to evaluate its validity in our context.
  
  
  METHODS
  The 4CornerSAT Questionnaire was adapted into Spanish, validating it among physicians of hospitals in Andalusia, Spain. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to corroborate the a priori model, and it was evaluated the internal consistency and the construct validity through the Cronbach's alpha and the correlation between the scale and the global item, respectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The adapted questionnaire was administrated to 121 specialist physicians. The CFA corroborated the four dimensions of the questionnaire (χ2=114.64, df=94, p<0.07; χ2/df=1.22; RMSEA=0.04). The internal consistency obtained an α=0.92 and the correlation between the summed scale and the global item verified the construct validity (r=0.77; p<0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The 4CornerSAT questionnaire was adapted to Spanish, identifying an adequate construct validity and internal consistency.
