Satisfaction with care in oncology outpatient clinics: psychometric characteristics of the Icelandic EORTC IN‐PATSAT32 version

Abstract: Outpatient treatment options offered to cancer patients have increased, and this calls for knowledge of their satisfaction with care and service. Sparse studies are available, and there is a need for further development of reliable instruments. Our study indicates that outpatients with cancer are quite satisfied with the care they receive. Findings may contribute to improvement in outpatients' clinics that provide treatment to patients with cancer.

“…Methodological quality of these studies was rated as “good” [20], “fair” [21], or “poor” [22–25] (Table 1). The poor ratings were due to using Multitrait Item Scaling (MIS) instead of confirmatory or exploratory factor analysis (CFA/EFA).…”

“…The weakest scale was ‘satisfaction with service and care organization’, in which 50% of the items correlated higher with other items in their own scale than other items in other scales. The strongest scale was ‘satisfaction with nurses’ conduct’, in which 92% of items correlated higher with other items in their own scale than other items in other scales.Indeterminaten/aHjörleifsdóttir et al, 2010 [20]Principal Component AnalysisFour components were extracted with an eigenvalue > 1, explaining 67.4% of variance. The components can be identified as: Satisfaction with nurses (24.7% variance), satisfaction with doctors (21% variance), satisfaction with information (13.6% variance), and satisfaction with service (8% variance).InsufficientGoodObtel et al, 2017 [25]Multitrait Item ScalingAll items exceeded correlations of .4 with other items in their own scale.…”

“…During the pilot study, patients confirmed the understandability and readability of the questionnaire (In-Patsat32), though some suggestions were raised by a few patients regarding their satisfaction with food, or provision of comfort for family caregivers and even treatment expenditures, which were not included in the main questionnaire as there was no consensus on all of the suggestions and also to prevent any major change in the psychometric features of the tool. To our knowledge, performing a pilot study was helpful to understand patients' perceptions culturally or conceptually, unlike other reports that no pilot study had been before the main test (Hjorleifsdottir et al, 2010).…”

“…Analyses of validation studies of the questionnaire for Spanish, (Arraras et al, 2010) Iceland, (Hjorleifsdottir et al, 2010) different European countries, (Bredart et al, 2005b) Morocco, (Obtel et al, 2012) Sri-Lanka (Jayasekara et al, 2008) and Taiwanese (Bredart et al, 2005b) cancer patients indicated high convergent validity for all scales except for the access scale (i.e. ease of access by means of transport and parking and easy finding one's way inside the hospital), which might best be handled separately (Bredart et al, 2005b;Arraras et al, 2009).…”

“…In the UK the quality of services has been identified as variable (Mort et al, 2008, National Chemotherapy Advisory Group, 2009, and it seems clear that variable quality is an issue in other countries worldwide (e.g. Malin et al, 2006, Weingart et al, 2007, Arora, 2009, Ekwall et al, 2011, Hjörleifsdóttir et al, 2010. Although the causes of variable quality do not relate exclusively to nursing practice, assessment of the quality of care provided by…”
