Abstract

In the context of psychiatric care, user-generated measurement instruments may contribute to quality development and assurance. An explorative construct of experience-related quality components was developed in participative-collaborative cooperation that grasps the users’ experiences of psychiatric care. After developing the components using a grounded theory methodology, they were quantified, and their interrelations were investigated using a multidimensional scaling method to explore their internal cohesion. The construct makes it possible to separate structural from interpersonal requirements of the quality components. It further indicated which components are more feasible for the home treatment setting, and which ones for an institutional setting. The components and the construct may be perceived as first steps towards the development of user-generated quality indicators; however, further validation steps are necessary.
