Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Healthcare Quality Assessment
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Patient satisfaction is a key indicator for psychiatric care quality.
  • Existing measurement tools often lack rigorous psychometric validation.
  • Developing reliable instruments is crucial for accurate assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Psychiatric Care Satisfaction Questionnaire (PCSQ).
  • To assess the psychometric properties of the PCSQ, including validity and reliability.
  • To establish PCSQ as a dependable tool for measuring patient satisfaction in psychiatric settings.

Main Methods:

  • The Psychiatric Care Satisfaction Questionnaire (PCSQ) was developed and administered to 52 psychiatric inpatients.
  • Content validity was evaluated through surveys of mental health professionals and patient groups.

  • Concurrent, criterion validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • The PCSQ demonstrated high consensual validity among mental health professionals and patient groups.
    • Strong concurrent and criterion validity were observed, correlating well with existing scales.
    • Adequate test-retest reliability (Cohen's kappa 0.48-0.80) and good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.82) were confirmed.

    Conclusions:

    • The PCSQ exhibits robust psychometric properties, making it a valuable instrument for measuring patient satisfaction.
    • The questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the quality of psychiatric care.
    • Further research is needed to explore the concept of satisfaction and its determinants in psychiatric care.
