Hasta Merkezli Bakım Ölçeğinin Türkçe Geçerlilik ve Güvenilirliği

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to adapt a valid and reliable scale aiming to measure the perception of patient-centred care from the patient perspective into Turkish.
 Materials and Methods: The Patient-Centred Care Scale developed by Cramm and Nieboer was used to assess patients' perception of patient-centred care. In the adaptation of the scale to Turkish, explanatory, and confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performed. Convenience sampling method was preferred in the study. The sample of the study consisted of 300 people who agreed to participate in the study.
 Result: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value for sampling adequacy was 0.866 and Barlett's test was significant. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, the scale is divided into eight dimensions as in the original scale and the total variance explained is 75.623%. The goodness of fit values of the scale are RMSEA= 0.046, NFI= 0.901, TLI= 0.954, CFI= 0.959, IFI= 0.959, GFI= 0.859 and these values are acceptable. Cronbach's alpha value of the scale is 0.961. There is a positive, medium, and high-level relationship between the dimensions of the scale. Finally, the overall mean of the scale was determined as 3.48.
 Conclusion: The Turkish adaptation of the Patient-Centred Care Scale is a valid and reliable tool that can be used from a patient perspective. The findings obtained in the original scale and the findings obtained in the Turkish adaptation of the scale overlap. In this direction, it is thought that the scale can be used to evaluate patients' attitudes and thoughts about patient-centred care.
