This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the reduced version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool) for adult patients in the Brazilian National Health Survey 2019, a nationally representative population-based study.
The reduced version of PCATool-adults measures the presence and extent of the following attributes: degree of affiliation; first-contact access; longitudinality; care coordination; comprehensiveness; family orientation; and community orientation. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were performed.
The final sample consisted of 9,396 individuals. The PCATool latent variable for adults was related to two questionnaire items, one referring to the Degree of Affiliation attribute and the other to the Community Orientation attribute. Additionally, five latent variables, formed by 21 items, identified the other five attributes through standardized factor loadings.
The reduced version of PCATool-Adult has good psychometric properties and captures the attributes of Primary Health Care.
本横断面研究旨在评估2019年巴西全国健康调查中成人患者初级保健评估工具简化版(PCATool)的心理测量特性,该调查是一项具有全国代表性的基于人群的研究。
PCATool成人简化版测量以下属性的存在情况和程度:归属程度;首次接触机会;连续性;护理协调;全面性;家庭导向;社区导向。进行了探索性和验证性因子分析。
最终样本包括9396名个体。成人PCATool潜在变量与两个问卷项目相关,一个涉及归属程度属性,另一个涉及社区导向属性。此外,由21个项目组成的五个潜在变量通过标准化因子载荷确定了其他五个属性。
PCATool成人简化版具有良好的心理测量特性,并能体现初级卫生保健的属性。
