Adopting a person-centered care approach has transformed different healthcare settings worldwide. However, this concept has gained little attention in many Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Arabic person-centered climate questionnaire-patient version, measuring to what extent the climate of health care settings is perceived as being person-centered.
This is a psychometric analysis study. The original validated version of the English Person-Centered Climate Questionnaire-Patient version (PCQ-P) was translated into Arabic and tested among a sample of hospital patients ( = 300) in Saudi Arabia using translation and back translation procedures. For psychometric evaluation, statistical analyses of validity and reliability were used, including exploratory factor analysis as well as conformity analysis.
The Arabic version of the person-centered climate questionnaire-patient version-showed good reliability as the Cronbach's alpha value of the total of 17 items was 0.84, and the Cronbach's alpha values of the three sub-scales (safety, everydayness, and hospitality) were 0.83, 0.56, and 0.68, respectively. Internal consistency results were high in terms cof orrelation coefficient for all 17 items. The exploratory factor analysis identified the three factors (safety, everydayness, and hospitality) responsible for 47.174% of the total variance.
The Arabic version of the PCQ-P showed satisfactory reliability and validity for measuring patients' perceptions of person-centeredness in Arab healthcare settings. This Arabic version will be accessible to those interested in generating and using empirical evidence to promote a patient-centered care approach in Arab healthcare settings. The results of this study can be used as a starting point for assessing and developing a person-centered care culture in Saudi hospitals and other Arab countries in the Middle East.
采用以患者为中心的护理方法已经改变了全球不同的医疗环境。然而,这一概念在包括沙特阿拉伯和其他阿拉伯国家在内的许多中东国家却很少受到关注。本研究旨在评估阿拉伯语版以患者为中心的氛围问卷(患者版)的心理测量特征,以衡量医疗环境在多大程度上被认为是以患者为中心的。
这是一项心理测量分析研究。将经过验证的英文版以患者为中心的氛围问卷(患者版)(PCQ-P)翻译成阿拉伯语,并通过翻译和回译程序在沙特阿拉伯医院患者样本(n = 300)中进行测试。对于心理测量评估,使用了效度和信度的统计分析,包括探索性因素分析以及一致性分析。
阿拉伯语版以患者为中心的氛围问卷(患者版)显示出良好的信度,17个项目总分的克朗巴哈α值为0.84,三个子量表(安全性、日常性和热情好客)的克朗巴哈α值分别为0.83、0.56和0.68。所有17个项目的相关系数方面的内部一致性结果较高。探索性因素分析确定了三个因素(安全性、日常性和热情好客),它们解释了总方差的47.174%。
阿拉伯语版的PCQ-P在测量阿拉伯医疗环境中患者对以患者为中心的感知方面显示出令人满意的信度和效度。该阿拉伯语版将可供那些有兴趣生成和使用实证证据以促进阿拉伯医疗环境中以患者为中心的护理方法的人使用。本研究结果可作为评估和发展沙特医院及中东其他阿拉伯国家以患者为中心的护理文化的起点。
