“…The mean score of KPCQ-S was 4.71 points (4.82 points for NHs and 4.55 points for LTCHs), which is similar to 4.88 points in the Norwegian study of NH staff [17], but higher than 4.39 points in the Slovenian study of nursing staff of operating rooms and general wards [18] and 4.52 points in the Swedish study of staff of general wards [16]. This difference is presumably due to differences in the facilities.…”

“…The PCQ-S was originally developed in Swedish and it is a self-reporting tool for staff working in the hospitals to assess the degree of person-centeredness of the environments in which they work [16]. The PCQ-S has been translated and adapted in English (2010) [15], Norwegian (2012) [17] and Slovenian (2017) [18] to date. In particular, the validity and reliability of PCQ-S have been tested in all areas of general and surgical wards in hospitals [15,18] and long-term care facilities [17].…”

Purpose: To test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Person-centered Climate Questionnairestaff version (KPCQ-S) in long-term care institutions. Methods: A total of 297 staff in long-term care institutions including nine nursing homes (NHs) and 4 long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) were included. The KPCQ-S was developed following the WHO guidelines of the process of translation and adaptation of instruments. An internal consistency using Cronbach's ⍺ was tested for reliability. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to examine the construct validity. Convergent and discriminant validity were examined using Pearson correlation. Results: EFA demonstrated the construct validity of the 14-item KPCQ-S with three-factor solutions, specifically three factors (safety, everydayness, and community) in NHs and four factors (safety, everydayness, community, and comprehensibility) in LTCHs. Convergent validity was found in the correlation with the work satisfaction (r=.55). The KPCQ-S showed satisfactory internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's ⍺=.91). Conclusion: The KPCQ-S is found to be a reliable and valid tool for measuring staff perceptions of the person centeredness of long-term care environments.

“…The strengths of the PCQ-S include its encouraging measurement properties, established across an array of empirical studies. Content validity has been supported by expert agreement methods [25] whilst repeated factor analytic studies in independent populations have supported a reasonably stable three factor structure [26]. Cronbach alpha for the subscales, and for the global score, are consistently estimated above 0.80 – even in other languages it has been translated into.…”

BackgroundPerson-centred care is the bedrock of modern dementia services, yet the evidence-base to support its implementation is not firmly established. Research is hindered by a need for more robust measurement instruments. The 14-item Person-Centred Climate Questionnaire - Staff version (PCQ-S) is one of the most established scales and has promising measurement properties. However, its construction under classical test theory methods leaves question marks over its rigour and the need for evaluation under more modern testing procedures.MethodsThe PCQ-S was self-completed by nurses and other care staff working across nursing homes in 35 Swedish municipalities in 2013/14. A Rasch analysis was undertaken in RUMM2030 using a partial credit model suited to the Likert-type items. Three subscales of the PCQ-S were evaluated against common thresholds for overall fit to the Rasch model; ordering of category thresholds; unidimensionality; local dependency; targeting; and Differential Item Functioning. Three subscales were evaluated separately as unidimensional models and then combined as subtests into a single measure. Due to large number of respondents (n = 4381), two random sub-samples were drawn, with a satisfactory model established in the first (‘evaluation’) and confirmed in the second (‘validation’). Final item locations and a table converting raw scores to Rasch-transformed values were created using the full sample.ResultsAll three subscales had disordered thresholds for some items, which were resolved by collapsing categories. The three subscales fit the assumptions of the Rasch model after the removal of two items, except for subscale 3, where there was evidence of local dependence between two items. By forming subtests, the 3 subscales were combined into a single Rasch model which had satisfactory fit statistics. The Rasch form of the instrument (PCQ-S-R) had an adequate but modest Person Separation Index (< 0.80) and some evidence of mistargeting due to a low number of ‘difficult-to-endorse’ items.ConclusionsThe PCQ-S-R has 12 items and can be used as a unidimensional scale with interval level properties, using the nomogram presented within this paper. The scale is reliable but has some inefficiencies due to too few high-end thresholds inhibiting discrimination amongst populations who already perceive that person-centred care is very good in their environment.

“…It is commonly used internationally and has been translated from Swedish into Norwegian 26 and English, 27 and the English version has also been translated into Slovenian. 28 Both the original and the translated Norwegian, English and Slovenian scales have been demonstrated to be valid and reliable tools for assessing staff perceptions of person-centredness. However, there is no Chinese version of the PCQ-S, which presents a barrier to measuring and developing person-centred care and to conducting further studies in China and making international comparisons.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Chinese translation of the English version of the Person-centred Climate Questionnaire – Staff version (PCQ-S) for Chinese palliative care staff in a hospital context.DesignThis was a cross-sectional design. The 14-item English PCQ-S was translated and backtranslated using established procedures. Construct validity and reliability including internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed among hospital staff. Construct validity was tested using principal component analysis (PCA), internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, and test-retest reliability was evaluated with the weighted kappa (Kp), Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC).SettingThis study was conducted in three hospitals in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province in south-west China.ParticipantsA sample of hospital staff (n=163) on duty in the palliative care departments of three hospitals in Kunming consented to participate in the study.ResultsThe 14-item Chinese PCQ-S consists of the three subscales also present in other language versions. It showed strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94 for the total scale, 0.87 for the safety subscale, 0.90 for the everydayness subscale and 0.88 for the community subscale. The Chinese PCQ-S had high test-retest reliability as evidenced by a high Kp coefficient and a high correlation coefficient for all scales between test and retest scores, on ‘a climate of safety’ (Kp=0.77, r=0.88, p<0.01), ‘a climate of everydayness’ (Kp=0.82, r=0.91, p<0.01), ‘a climate of community’ (Kp=0.75, r=0.79, p<0.01), and on overall scale scores (Kp=0.85, r=0.93, p<0.01). The ICC to evaluate the test-retest reliability was 0.97 (95% CI 0.95 to 0.98).ConclusionsThe Chinese version of the PCQ-S showed satisfactory reliability and validity for assessing staff perceptions of person-centred care in Chinese hospital environments.
