Abstract
BackgroundPerson-centred health care has widespread recognition, but there are few instruments aimed at measuring the provision of person-centred practice among health care professionals across a range of settings. The Person-centred Practice Inventory – Staff (PCPI-S) is a new instrument for this purpose, theoretically aligned with McCormack & McCance’s person-centred framework, which has been translated and culturally adapted into Norwegian.MethodsThe study used a two-stage research design involving: translation and cultural adaption of the PCPI-S from English to Norwegian language (phase 1), and a quantitative cross sectional survey following psychometric evaluation (phase 2). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the theoretical measurement model.ResultsThe translation and cultural adaption was carried out according to ten recommend steps. Discrepancies were addressed and revised by all translators until consensus was reached on a reconciled version of the translation. A sample of 258 health care staff participated in the survey. The model fit statistics were overall positive; the model requires minor modifications and these are mostly confined to correlated errors.ConclusionsThe translation and cultural adaption process of the PCPI-S from English to Norwegian language was a demanding process in order to retain the conceptual meanings of the original instrument. Overall, the psychometric properties of the tool were acceptable, but testing on a larger sample size is recommended.

We present an overview of the framework and focus on the translation, cultural adaptation and testing of an instrument developed to evaluate the extent to which person-centred cultures are developed using the framework of McCormack and McCance [1] as a guide
The translation and cultural adaption was carried out according to the recommendations as laid out by Wild, Grove, Martin, Eremenco, McElroy, Verjee-Lorenz and Erikson [11]
Summary
Person-centred health care has widespread recognition, but there are few instruments aimed at measuring the provision of person-centred practice among health care professionals across a range of settings. Whilst the evidence underpinning person-centred healthcare continues to be diverse, using multiple terms to capture the key components of person-centred practice, there is increasing consensus about the key principles underpinning person-centredness. These principles underpin a range of emerging models and frameworks used to guide practice, organisational and strategic developments, The theoretical framework of person-centred health care provided by McCormack and McCance [1] outlines the following key aspects of the concept: being in social relationships; being in a social world; being in a physical place; and being with self. The framework recognises the complexity of organisational systems and the challenges these pose in developing person-centred care [2], which can be explored and better understood by comprehensive measurement of the person-centred attributes of staff
