Indonesia Translation and Cross-Cultural Validation of Pediatric Anesthesia Parent Satisfaction (PAPS) Questionnaire

Abstract

Background: Many questionnaires have been widely used to assess patient satisfaction. One of them is the Pediatric Anesthesia Parent Satisfaction (PAPS) questionnaire. However, in Indonesia, the parent satisfaction of pediatric patients undergoing surgery has never been studied. Knowing patient satisfaction can provide feedback to improve the quality of anesthesia services. Furthermore, the PAPS questionnaire has never been used in Indonesia, so it needs to be translated and tested for validity and reliability before being implemented in Indonesia. Aim: to validate the Indonesian version of the PAPS questionnaireMethod: This study uses a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The PAPS Questionnaire was translated into Indonesian version with the following steps (1) forward translation, (2) establish an expert committee, and (3) backward translation. After that, pilot testing and FGD with the expert were conducted to obtain the final questionnaire. Pearson's correlation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed for the validity test. Sampling measurement before CFA was carried out with Keyser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's test. Cronbach's alpha determined the reliability test evaluation.Result: Total number of subjects is 125 subjects. The PAPS questionnaire in the Indonesian version was obtained with help from INCULS and an anesthesiologist expert. Pearson's correlation found that all items ranged from r = 0.531-0.796 with p < 0.001. The CFA showed two factors that explained 65% of the total variance, with KMO being 0.937 (X2=1283.452, p < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.937.Conclusion: Indonesian version of the PAPS questionnaire is valid and reliable for assessing parents' satisfaction with the anesthesia services their child received.

Implementation of Regulation About Enhanced Recovery After Caesarean Surgery in Indonesia: A Literature Review

“…Anesthesia regulation in Indonesia is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery, ensuring patient safety and quality of care. The country has been actively involved in assessing anesthesia services, including the satisfaction level of pediatric anesthesia services (Sari et al, 2023). Additionally, there has been a focus on practical considerations for performing regional anesthesia, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure patient and staff safety, and equipment protection (Heijnen et al, 2021).…”
