In a previous study we described the translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Italian version of the PTPSQ [PTPSQ-I(15)] in outpatients. To the authors' knowledge, the PTPSQ was never studied in a hospital setting.The aims of this study were: (1) to establish the psychometric properties of the Physical Therapy Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire [PTPSQ- I(15)] in a sample of Italian inpatients, and (2) to investigate the relationships between the characteristics of patients and physical therapists and the indicators of satisfaction.
The PTPSQ-I(15) was administered to inpatients in a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit. Reliability of the PTPSQ-I(15) was measured by internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and test-retest stability (ICC 3,1). The internal structure was investigated by factor analysis. Divergent validity was measured by comparing the PTPSQ-I(15) with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and with a 5-point Likert-type scale evaluating the Global Perceived Effect (GPE) of the physical therapy treatment.
The PTPSQ-I(15) was administered to 148 inpatients, and 73 completed a second administration. The PTPSQ-I(15) showed high internal consistency (α = 0.949) and test-retest stability (ICC = 0.996). Divergent validity was moderate for the GPE (r = - 0.502, P < 0.001) and strong for the VAS (r = -0.17, P = 0.07). Factor analysis showed a one-factor structure.
The administration of PTPSQ-I(15) to inpatients demonstrated strong psychometric properties and its use can be recommended with Italian-speaking population. Further studies are suggested on the concurrent validity and on the psychometric properties of the PTPSQ-I(15) in different hospital settings or with other pathological conditions.
在之前的研究中，我们描述了意大利版物理治疗患者满意度问卷（PTPSQ-I(15)）的翻译、文化适应和验证过程，该问卷仅在门诊患者中进行过研究。本研究的目的是：（1）在意大利住院患者样本中建立物理治疗患者满意度问卷（PTPSQ-I(15)）的心理测量学特性，（2）研究患者和物理治疗师的特征与满意度指标之间的关系。
PTPSQ-I(15)在物理医学和康复科的住院患者中进行。采用内部一致性（Cronbach's α）和重测信度（ICC 3,1）来衡量 PTPSQ-I(15)的可靠性。通过因子分析研究内部结构。通过与视觉模拟量表（VAS）比较疼痛和 5 点 Likert 型量表评估物理治疗效果的整体感知效果（GPE）来衡量区别效度。
PTPSQ-I(15)共纳入 148 例住院患者，73 例完成第二次评估。PTPSQ-I(15)具有较高的内部一致性（α=0.949）和重测信度（ICC=0.996）。GPE（r=-0.502，P<0.001）和 VAS（r=-0.17，P=0.07）的区别效度为中等，与 GPE 的相关性较强。因子分析显示具有单因子结构。
PTPSQ-I(15)在住院患者中的应用表明其具有较强的心理测量学特性，可推荐使用意大利语患者。建议进一步研究 PTPSQ-I(15)在不同医院环境或其他病理情况下的同时效度和心理测量学特性。
