Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

856
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new 7-item patient experience measure, the Trust and Experience with Clinicians Scale (TRECS), effectively reduces ceiling effects common in other patient-reported experience measures (PREMs). TRECS demonstrates good psychometric properties and can improve accurate assessment of patient experience.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Patient Experience Measurement
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Existing patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) like the JSPPPE and WTPS exhibit high intercorrelation and ceiling effects, limiting their ability to capture nuanced patient experiences.
  • Ceiling effects in PREMs result in lost information, as variation among patients scoring highest may not be measured.
  • Developing PREMs with greater variability and reduced ceiling effects is crucial for accurately assessing patient experience and identifying factors influencing it.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and group items measuring similar aspects of patient experience from existing PREMs.
  • To develop a new, brief PREM with a reduced ceiling effect using item response theory.
  • To validate the new PREM's factor structure, internal consistency, and correlation with established PREMs across different measurement scales (binary vs. 5-point Likert).

Main Methods:

  • Two cross-sectional studies involving patients seeking musculoskeletal care were conducted to develop and validate a new PREM.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used to identify item groupings, followed by item response theory to select items with optimal difficulty parameters.
  • The new PREM was assessed using both binary and 5-point Likert scales, with internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and correlation with other PREMs evaluated.

Main Results:

  • Three item groupings were identified: "trust in clinician," "relationship with clinician," and "participation in shared decision-making." The "trust in clinician" factor was selected for further development.
  • A 7-item short form (TRECS-7) demonstrated excellent CFA model fit, internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.91), and good item response theory parameters, indicating a reduced ceiling effect.
  • The validation cohort confirmed TRECS-7's performance, showing good model fit, excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.92), limited ceiling effects (14%), and notable correlations with JSPPPE (ρ = 0.77) and WTPS (ρ = 0.74).

Conclusions:

  • A brief, 7-item patient experience measure focused on trust (TRECS) effectively mitigates common ceiling effects found in other PREMs, possessing strong psychometric properties.
  • TRECS offers a more accurate assessment of patient experience, aiding in evaluating interventions and driving improvements within healthcare systems.
  • Future research should focus on external validation of TRECS in diverse populations and the development of population-based T-score conversion tables.
