The cross-sectional study was carried out in two stages: 1. Cross-culturaladaptation; 2. Clinimetric validation based on assessments of interobserver reliability,test-retest reliability and internal consistency. The participants were podiatric medicalstudents at the universities of Malaga and Miguel Hernandez, Alicante (Spain) and wererecruited during the period February October 2019. The following inclusion criteriawere applied: aged at least 18 years, studying the third or fourth year of a universitydegree in Podiatry. All gave signed informed consent and completed the State-TraitAnxiety Inventory and the Podiatry version of the KEZKAK questionnaire. No samplingwas performed and thus the entire eligible population was included in the study.Results. The analysis was based on 205 participants (33.5% male, 66.5% female), with amean age of 23.05 (SD 5.37) years. Internal consistency was excellent, with a Cronbach'salpha of 0.95. This version of the questionnaire had five factorial structures (61.18%).Nofloor/ceiling effect was observed in any item. TheKEZKAKpresented high test-retestreliability after 21 days, with an overall ICC of 0.95 (95% CI [0.93 0.98]).Conclusion. For university students of podiatry in Spain, the KEZKAK Podiatryversion questionnaire is a valid, reliable instrument for measuring stressors duringthe practicum.
