Resumen:	Patient empowerment is a key factor in improving health outcomes. To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the questionnaire on Patient Empowerment in Long-Term Conditions (PELC) that evaluates the degree of empowerment of patients with chronic diseases. Three measurements were made (at baseline, 2 weeks and 12 weeks) of quality of life (QoL), self-care, self-efficacy and empowerment. Reliability was evaluated as internal consistency for the entire sample. Test-retest reproducibility was evaluated for patients who were stable from baseline to week 2 (n = 70). Validity was analysed (n = 124) as baseline correlations with QoL, self-care, self-efficacy, clinical data and psychosocial variables. Sensitivity to change was analysed in terms of effect size for patients who had improved between baseline and week 12 (n = 48). The study was carried out with 124 patients with a diagnosis of heart failure. Cronbach's alpha was high, at >0. 9, and the interclass correlation coefficient was low, at 0. 47. PELC questionnaire scores showed differences depending on New York Heart Association functional class (p<0. 05) and, as posited in the a priori hypotheses, were moderately correlated with emotional dimensions of QoL (0. 53) and self-efficacy (0. 43). Effect size for the clinically improved subsample was moderate (0. 67). The results suggest that the Spanish version of the PELC questionnaire has appropriate psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency and validity and is low in terms of reproducibility and sensitivity to change.
