The Feeling Heard and Understood (FHU) scale evaluates communication between patients and healthcare providers to measure patient-centered care from the patient's perspective. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the FHU (FHU-J). Three researchers translated the original scale, and cognitive interviews with 10 hospitalized patients ensured face validity. The survey items were back-translated and approved by the original authors. Two web-based surveys were conducted one week apart to assess the FHU-J's internal consistency, concurrent validity, and test-retest reliability that targeted adults hospitalized for over a week in the past year. The first and second surveys included 608 and 255 respondents, respectively (50.4% men; mean age: 57.0). Surgery was the primary reason for admission (48.1%). The Cronbach α for the FHU-J was .93, and the intraclass correlation coefficient between the 2 responses was 0.54. Cronbach α and correlation coefficients demonstrated sufficient validity of the FHU-J, whereas the intraclass correlation coefficient indicated moderate reliability.
“被倾听与理解感受量表”（FHU）从患者角度评估患者与医疗服务提供者之间的沟通，以衡量以患者为中心的护理。本研究旨在开发该量表的日语版本（FHU-J）。三名研究人员翻译了原始量表，并对10名住院患者进行认知访谈以确保表面效度。调查项目经反向翻译并得到原始作者认可。相隔一周进行了两项基于网络的调查，以评估FHU-J的内部一致性、同时效度和重测信度，目标是过去一年住院一周以上的成年人。第一次和第二次调查分别有608名和255名受访者（男性占50.4%；平均年龄：57.0岁）。手术是入院的主要原因（48.1%）。FHU-J的克朗巴哈α系数为0.93，两次回答之间的组内相关系数为0.54。克朗巴哈α系数和相关系数表明FHU-J具有足够的效度，而组内相关系数表明其信度中等。
