(1) Background: The CEECCA questionnaire assesses the ability to communicate among individuals with aphasia. It was designed using the NANDA-I and NOC standardised nursing languages (SNLs), reaching high content validity index and representativeness index values. The questionnaire was pilot-tested, demonstrating its feasibility for use by nurses in any healthcare setting. This study aims to identify the psychometric properties of this instrument. (2) Methods: 47 individuals with aphasia recruited from primary and specialist care facilities. The instrument was tested for construct validity and criterion validity, reliability, internal consistency, and responsiveness. The NANDA-I and NOC SNLs and the Boston test were used for criterion validity testing. (3) Results: 5 language dimensions explain 78.6% of the total variance. Convergent criterion validity tests showed concordances of up to 94% (Cohen’s κ: 0.9; p<0.001) using the Boston test, concordances of up to 81% using DCs of NANDA-I diagnoses (Cohen’s κ: 0.6; p<0.001), and concordances of up to 96% (Cohen’s κ: 0.9; p<0.001) using NOC indicators. Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) was 0.98. Reliability tests revealed test-retest concordances of 76%-100% (p<0,001). (4) Conclusions: The CEECCA is an easy-to-use, valid, reliable instrument to assess the ability to communicate among individuals with aphasia.

La afasia es el trastorno de los procesos implicados en la expresión y comprensión del lenguaje secundario a un daño cerebral adquirido. La afasia genera un gran impacto sobre la calidad de vida, afectando al desarrollo de las ABVD. Objetivo: evaluar el interés que manifiestan las enfermeras por disponer de un instrumento de fácil aplicación, que evalúe, según áreas de interés para el cuidado, las capacidades comunicativas en pacientes con afasia. Método: estudio descriptivo mediante una encuesta administrada a 70 enfermeras de diferentes ám-bitos de atención. Resultados: el 50% de las enfermeras manifestaron que este instrumento resultaría de bastante utilidad, con un alto nivel de aplicabilidad. Conclusión: este estudio apoya la necesidad de un instrumento enfermero con las características planteadas.
