This study aimed to design and validate a scale to measure attitudes towards the palliative care of re-latives. After reviewing the research literature, a table with the corresponding specifications inclu-ded how the attitudes crossed with the components of palliative care. After a process of validation by expert judges and a pilot test, a total of 140 Colombian citizens (Age M ± SD= 29.05 ± 12.180) responded to the instrument. After an exploratory factorial analysis of the data, the evaluation process yielded a general internal consistency value of .851. The final scale consisted of 16 items with four Likert options each, composing three factors: a) overall positive assessment of care, b) commitment to care, and c) general negative assessment of care. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed adequate consistency of the model. The instrument has high validity and reliability to measure attitudes toward palliative care of a family member.
