The Being Taken Seriously Questionnaire—Development and Psychometric Evaluation of a PREM Measure for Person-Centeredness in a High-Tech Hospital Environment

Abstract

There is a need for patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in high-tech hospital environments based on the philosophy of person-centeredness. The aim of this study was to describe the development and initial psychometric evaluation of a measure of person-centeredness by means of being taking seriously. In this cross-sectional survey, the study sample (n = 79) completed two measures, the Being Taken Seriously Questionnaire—Patient version (BTSQ-P) which was the measure undergoing psychometric evaluation, and the Person-Centered Climate Questionnaire—Patient version (PCQ-P) that was used to evaluate the climate in which the intervention was occurring. The expected scale dimensionality was examined both by the confirmatory multi-trait analysis program and by explorative principal component analysis (with oblique, varimax rotation). Scale reliability was estimated using ordinal alpha and Cronbach’s alpha. One solid factor was generated. This factor had good internal convergent validity and good item–scale reliability, covering 80.41% of the variance. The interitem correlation ranged from 0.759 to 0.908 and the alpha was 0.93 (ordinal alpha) and 0.87 (Cronbach’s alpha) respectively. There was a strong relationship between BTSQ-P and the PCQ-P dimension safety climate. In conclusion, the internal consistency, reliability and concurrent validity of the BTSQ-P was satisfactory for use in a high-tech hospital environment.

European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) Consensus Statement on Outcome Measures in Liver Transplantation According to Value-Based Health Care

“…Furthermore, the core outcome set should include generic measures of health-related quality of life (such as EQ-5D), and disease specific tools or transplant specific tools (such as the Liver Disease QoL questionnaire), along with patient perspective measures that should include measures of symptom distress, illness perceptions and patient empowerment (such as the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the Patient Empowerment Scale) [ 36 ]. Inclusion of PREMs such as being taken seriously and listened to, should also be considered to improve the patient experience of LT and compare experiences between different centers and jurisdictions [ 45 ].…”

How a Despotic Project Manager Jeopardizes Project Success: The Role of Project Team Members’ Emotional Exhaustion and Emotional Intelligence

“…There are varieties of methods used to determine sample size and in cases where the total population is unknown, the sample-to-item ratio and sample-to-variable ratio methods could be used (Memon et al, 2020). Thus, in line with the previous studies (e.g., Liao et al, 2015; Forsberg & Rantala, 2020), the sample-to-item ratio method given by Suhr (2006) and Memon et al (2020) was used to decide the sample size in the present study. As per the guidelines that the sample-to-item ratio should not be less than 5-to-1, we needed a minimum of 225 respondents for 45 items of our survey questionnaire.…”

Evaluating the Satisfaction of Passengers towards Metro Rail Services- Bangladesh Perspective

“…Dhaka city has been taken into consideration as the MRT is functioning only in this city in the country. The sample-to-variable ratio should not be less than 5:1, even though a 15:1 or 20:1 ratio is preferred (Hair et al, 2018;Liao et al, 2016;Yeoh et al, 2016;Forsberg & Rantala, 2020).In light of these references, the minimum sample size in our study should be 20*8=160. The non-probability convenience sampling technique is considered by the researchers to…”
