Abstract

To carry out a transcultural adaptation and validation of the Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire-15 (PPE-15). To incorporate new dimensions such as informed consent and decision making, that are not addressed in the PPE-15 but are considered relevant for Spanish patients on information and decision making in hospital. Cross-culture adaptation and validation of the (PPE-15). A translation of the original version of the questionnaire PPE-15 has been carried out. Content validity has been studied and a new Spanish version has been designed and validated, the PPE-33 questionnaire. The original version of the PPE-15 was translated into Spanish and the content and construct validity of the PPE-33 were studied. A pilot test assessed the acceptability and feasibility of the questionnaire and eventually, construct validity, reliability and internal consistency were evaluated. A high concordance between the original version of the PPE-15 questionnaire and the PPE-33 (Kappa 0.872). The PPE-33 showed good stability within 15 days (McNemar's Test P>0.05). The Szigriszt Readability Score was 80 (very easy to read). The PPE-33 obtained a high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.792). The PPE-15 adapted to Spanish as the PPE-33, is a reliable and valid instrument to measure the perception and satisfaction of patients that have been hospitalised, regarding information, treatment received and participation in decision making.
