“…Parents from the Malaysian ethnic group rated the items in the domain parental participation the lowest on the 6point rating scale (mean 5.27, SD 0.72). These results are still higher than reported by the EMPATHIC study performed in three Italian PICUs (14). The Italian parents (17).…”

“…Our study results mean that the EMPATHIC-30-AUS questionnaire can be used to make comparisons that are specific enough to be meaningful at individual ward and unit level, yet remain standardised to allow benchmarking between hospitals and between countries where validated translation from Dutch has already been conducted such as Italy (20) and Switzerland (19). Indeed, our study results In conclusion, we have confirmed the translated and culturally adapted EMPATHIC-30-AUS to be a reliable and valid questionnaire for paediatric critical care, pediatric and neonatal hospital settings in the Australian context.…”

“…We have reported the translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the Dutch EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire into the Australian pediatric critical care, neonatal and pediatric ward areas. We used the standardised translation and cultural adaptation process (16) reported by others evaluating the EMPATHIC questionnaire (19,20) When the results across the 3 clinical areas were combined we found the overall Cronbach α at domain level ranged from 0.70 to 0.82. This reflected the Dutch PICU results which ranged from 0.73 to 0.81 (15) and indicated overall adequate internal consistency.…”

The translated and culturally adapted EMpowerment of PArents in The Intensive Care-30-AUS is a reliable and valid questionnaire to measure parent-reported outcomes in pediatric critical care, pediatric ward, and neonatal hospital settings. Using this questionnaire can provide a framework for a standardized quality improvement approach and identification of best practices across specialties, hospital services and for benchmarking similar health services worldwide.

“…Indeed, our study obtained a high response rate (87%). Likewise, the authors of the study that validated the Italian version of EMPATHIC instrument for Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) distributed the instrument to parents at PICU discharge and obtained also a high response rate (79%) compared with postal recruitment [ 27 , 28 ]. In another Italian study, parent satisfaction was evaluated during hospital staying [ 29 ].…”

BackgroundIn Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), parent satisfaction and their experiences are fundamental to assess clinical practice and improve the quality of care delivered to infants and parents. Recently, a specific instrument, the EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care-Neonatology (EMPATHIC-N), has been developed in the Netherlands. This instrument investigated different domains of care in NICUs from a family-centered care perspective. In Italy, no rigorous instruments are available to evaluate parent satisfaction and experiences in NICU with family-centered care. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the EMPATHIC-N instrument into Italian language measuring parent satisfaction.MethodsA psychometric study was conducted in nine Italian NICUs. The hospitals were allocated across Italy: four in the North, four in Central region, one in the South. Parents whose infants were discharged from the Units were enrolled. Parents whose infants died were excluded.ResultsBack-forward translation was conducted. Twelve parents reviewed the instrument to assess the cultural adaptation; none of the items fell below the cut-off of 80% agreement. A total of 186 parents of infants who were discharged from nine NICUs were invited to participate and 162 parents responded and returned the questionnaire (87%). The mean scores of the individual items varied between 4.3 and 5.9. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed and all factor loadings were statistically significant with the exception of item ‘Our cultural background was taken into account’. The items related to overall satisfaction showed a higher trend with mean values of 5.8 and 5.9. The Cronbach’s alpha’s (at domain level 0.73-0.92) and corrected item-total scale correlations revealed high reliability estimates.ConclusionsThe Italian EMPATHIC-N showed to be a valid and reliable instrument measuring parent satisfaction in NICUs from a family-centered care perspective. Indeed, it had good psychometric properties, validity, and reliability. Furthermore, this instrument is fundamental for further research and internationally benchmarking.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13052-017-0439-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
