%X objective developing a valid scale for measuring the quality of post-anaesthetic recovery (qor) from the patientsa£¿£¿ point of view. methods asa i or ii scheduled surgical patients were selected. setting: hospital san juan de dios, bogot¨¢, profamiliaa£¿£¿s sexual and reproductive health clinic and social securitya£¿£¿s cl¨ªnica carlos lleras. five phases: semi-structured interviews for establishing different quality categories and items referred by patients (n=30); content analysis and categorisation to establish relevant items (n=42); facial validity (n=20); scale design and validation, qor (n=283): main factor analysis, varimax rotation cronbacha£¿£¿s alpha coefficient was used for testing internal consistency. concurrent and discriminating criteria were validated by using non-parametrical statistics]; and reproducibility (n=100), tested by kendala£¿£¿s concordance coefficient. results the qor was constructed in colombian spanish with 14 items and 3 domains, general quality (8 items), recovery room (5 items) and pain (one item). the qor showed good internal consistency (cronbach = 0.8783). the qor positively correlated (spearmana£¿£¿s rho>0.39) with 3 out of 5 scales and found differences by gender, kind of surgery, surgical site and kind of anaesthesia (ji2 and k. wallis, p<0.05). the qor had good reproducibility (kendal=0.6378, p=0.0335). conclusion the qor is the first valid scale constructed from the patienta£¿£¿s point of view for measuring the quality of post-anaesthetic recovery.
