A psychometric evaluation of the Indonesian version of the Quality in Psychiatric Care-Inpatient Staff (QPC-IPS) instrument

The Relationships between Health Professionals’ Perceived Quality of Care, Family Involvement and Sense of Coherence in Community Mental Health Services

“…A large number of the mental health professionals (82%) perceived the quality of care as high. This finding is in line with other studies using the QPC instrument as an inpatient staff instrument reporting from various mental health service contexts and cultures, for example in Indonesia (Lundqvist et al, 2019) and in Denmark (Lundqvist et al, 2014). Moreover, some specific results related to the mental health professionals' QPC perceptions caught our interest.…”

A Spanish adaptation of the Quality in Psychiatric Care – Inpatient Staff (QPC-IPS) instrument: Psychometric properties and factor structure

“…Cronbach's α for internal consistency was 0.92 for the full scale, with values close to or above 0.70 obtained for all dimensions. These values are considered adequate by Nunnally & Bernstein 30 , and are higher than or very similar to those obtained in the original version 19 and in other studies that have used other versions of the QPC instrument 29 . The Discharge dimension obtained a Cronbach's α of 0.62 and the Secluded environment dimension an α of 0.66.…”

“…It may be concluded that the dimensions of the Spanish QPC-IPS are identical to those of the original scale. In the Indonesian version of the QPC-IPS 29 , the same six dimensions were observed. Thus, the concept of quality of mental health professionals from a Spanish perspective is similar to that among Indonesian mental health professionals.…”

“…The Discharge dimension obtained a Cronbach's α of 0.62 and the Secluded environment dimension an α of 0.66. These dimensions have shown less than adequate internal consistency in previous studies 29 . Given the influence of several elements on Cronbach's α coefficient, the low α value in these dimensions is probably due to the small number of items (two and three items, respectively).…”

“…During the adaptation process of the QPC-IPS, a translation and back translation was performed, obtaining an instrument adapted to Spanish. Other studies 29 of the QPC family have also obtained original instruments adapted with a similar process. The results of this phase were positive and there were no problems in the comprehension or administration of the questionnaire.…”
