Cross‐Cultural Validation of the Patient Perception of Integrated Care Survey
该研究在美国患者对整合医疗感知调查的基础上，在荷兰样本中测试其跨文化有效性，发现两国问卷的心理测量特性高度可比，但“与专科医生整合”因子可靠性较低且存在非不变性。
OBJECTIVE: To test the cross-cultural validity of the U.S. Patient Perception of Integrated Care (PPIC) Survey in a Dutch sample using a standardized procedure. DATA SOURCES: Primary data collected from patients of five primary care centers in the south of the Netherlands, through survey research from 2014 to 2015. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional data collected from patients who saw multiple health care providers during 6 months preceding data collection. DATA COLLECTION: The PPIC survey includes 59 questions that measure patient perceived care integration across providers, settings, and time. Data analysis followed a standardized procedure guiding data preparation, psychometric analysis, and included invariance testing with the U.S. dataset. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Latent scale structures of the Dutch and U.S. survey were highly comparable. Factor "Integration with specialist" had lower reliability scores and noninvariance. For the remaining factors, internal consistency and invariance estimates were strong. CONCLUSIONS: The standardized cross-cultural validation procedure produced strong support for comparable psychometric characteristics of the Dutch and U.S. surveys. Future research should examine the usability of the proposed procedure for contexts with greater cultural differences.
