To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Patient Perceptions of Empowerment Scale (PPES) and to perform a cross-cultural validity assessment.
In this cross-sectional survey, 554 inpatients in three general hospitals in northern Taiwan were recruited. Principal component analysis was used to examine the factor structure of the scale. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the measurement model of the Chinese version of the PPES.
Confirmatory factor analyses supported the presence of a second-order four-factor model (information, decision, individual, and self-management) of the Chinese version of the PPES when used with a Taiwanese inpatient population. The results indicate that the 11-item, second-order, four-factor Chinese version of the PPES provided best goodness-of-fit for the data in this study.
The 11-item four-factor Chinese version of the PPES is a self-completion scale. This study demonstrated that the Chinese version of the PPES is a reliable and valid self-report instrument for the assessment of patient perceptions of empowerment in clinical practice. Further adaptation and evaluation of the scale will hopefully stimulate further studies on PPES in the fields of psychometrics in Taiwan.
评估中文版患者赋权感知量表(PPES)的心理测量特性,并进行跨文化效度评估。
在这项横断面调查中,招募了台湾北部三家综合医院的554名住院患者。采用主成分分析来检验量表的因子结构。对中文版PPES的测量模型进行验证性因子分析。
验证性因子分析支持中文版PPES在台湾住院患者群体中使用时存在二阶四因子模型(信息、决策、个人和自我管理)。结果表明,11项二阶四因子中文版PPES为本研究中的数据提供了最佳拟合优度。
11项四因子中文版PPES是一种自填式量表。本研究表明,中文版PPES是一种可靠且有效的自我报告工具,用于评估临床实践中患者的赋权感知。对该量表的进一步改编和评估有望促进台湾心理测量学领域对PPES的进一步研究。
