A validated measure to gather patient feedback on physicians' empathy is not available in Swedish. The objective for this study was to examine the psychometric characteristics of a Swedish version of the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) measure (widely used in English).
DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS: The CARE measure was translated into Swedish and tested on 554 unselected patients visiting physicians in two primary care clinics in northwestern Stockholm, Sweden.
Adequate translation, as well as reliability and validity of the Swedish CARE measure.
The Swedish CARE measure seemed to demonstrate high acceptability and face validity when consulting a physician. The mean CARE score 41.5 (SD 8.9) over all 10 item was not significantly influenced by seasonality, age or gender. Scores were somewhat negatively distributed, but corrected item-total correlations were high (0.86-0.91) suggesting homogeneity. Internal reliability was very high (Cronbach's alpha 0.975). Factor analysis implied a one-dimensional structure with factor loadings between 0.89 and 0.93.
The Swedish CARE measure appears to be psychometrically valid and reliable enough in physicians.
瑞典语中尚无一种经过验证的用于收集患者对医生同理心反馈的测量工具。本研究的目的是检验瑞典语版咨询与关系同理心(CARE)测量工具(该工具在英语环境中广泛使用)的心理测量学特征。
设计、背景与患者:将CARE测量工具翻译成瑞典语,并在瑞典斯德哥尔摩西北部两家初级保健诊所就诊的554名未经挑选的患者中进行测试。
瑞典语CARE测量工具的充分翻译以及信度和效度。
瑞典语CARE测量工具在咨询医生时似乎具有较高的可接受性和表面效度。所有10个条目的CARE平均得分41.5(标准差8.9)不受季节、年龄或性别的显著影响。得分呈一定程度的负向分布,但校正后的项目与总分相关性较高(0.86 - 0.91),表明具有同质性。内部信度非常高(克朗巴哈系数0.975)。因子分析表明其具有一维结构,因子载荷在0.89至0.93之间。
瑞典语CARE测量工具在医生群体中似乎具有足够的心理测量学效度和信度。
