Using person reported outcomes: Psychometric properties of the German diabetes treatment satisfaction questionnaire (DTSQ) for teens and parents.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To examine psychometric properties including the factor structure of the German versions of the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for teens and parents (DTSQ-T/-P).

Methods

Linguistically validated questionnaires were completed by 363 adolescents with type 1 diabetes and 655 parent-caregivers in a multicenter study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability, and correlations were examined.

Results

CFA confirmed the 2-factor model of treatment satisfaction (TS) & perceived diabetes control (PDC) with an adjustment of removing the "medical support" item from the TS and examining it as a single item in this study. Cronbach's α of TS for DTSQ-T/-P was 0.82 & 0.83, respectively, and α of the two-item PDC factor was 0.70 & 0.60, respectively. The DTSQ scale scores positively correlated with time in range and inversely correlated with HbA1c. Scale scores of DTSQ-T/-P showed significantly positive relations to the KIDSCREEN-10 Index and negative associations with the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID). The TS of the parents was correlated with depressive symptoms measured in the Patient Health Questionnaire-9.

Conclusions

The DTSQ-T/-P produced psychometrically sound scores in measuring diabetes treatment satisfaction in German teens with type 1 diabetes and their parents. German DTSQ versions for teens and parents are recommended in research and clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundKing's Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ) is a novel, validated, health-related quality of life questionnaire on sarcoidosis with 5 scales and 29 items. For future multinational observational and interventional studies on sarcoidosis, a validated German version of the KSQ is needed. The objective of our study is to translate the original KSQ and develop a German version possessing good psychometric properties and with as few modifications as possible.MethodsWe translated the KSQ into German, tested it in structured interviews in sarcoidosis patients, and asked consecutive patients in an outpatient clinic to complete it. We relied on the KSQ's original version to achieve its psychometric properties in the German version. Structural validity, internal consistency, construct validity, and fit to Rasch model were assessed. Our procedure's logic meant that in the first step we optimized the item selection in the German version to maximize its psychometric quality. In step two, we assessed the unmodified version's properties in comparison to the modified version's.ResultsOne hundred ninety-four patients with sarcoidosis were included and completed the questionnaires. Due to ambiguous factor loadings, four items of the scale "General Health Status" had to be eliminated. Another item was excluded to ensure the Rasch model fit. This modified, 24-item version of the KSQ shows acceptable Rasch model fit and good model fit in confirmatory factor analyses (TLI = 0.90, CFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.08). Cronbach's Alpha ranges from 0.82 to 0.91. Several hypotheses concerning construct validity (e.g., correlations with SF-36) are confirmed or partly confirmed. The measurement properties of the original unmodified version are similar in their construct validity and internal consistency; however, we were unable to confirm structural validity and fit to the Rasch model in the original version.ConclusionsWe translated and validated the German KSQ and report good psychometric properties. The reduced 24-item version has the advantage that all scales are unidimensional and fulfil the requirements of the Rasch model, ensuring its benefits. The original 29-item version, on the other hand, allows us to compare German data to international data however, at the price, of less structural validity and the lack of fit to the Rasch model.Trial registrationThis study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (reference number DRKS00010072 ). Registered January 2016.

Project description:BackgroundPerson-centered care is a valuable approach to improve the quality of care of the elderly and is a starting point for maintaining the dignity of people needing care.ObjectivesThis study aimed at translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Persian version of the Person-centered Climate Questionnaire-Patient questionnaire in elderly patients admitted to the Eastern Guilan hospitals from 2017-2018.DesignThis research was a cross-sectional study. The Persian version of Person-centered Climate Questionnaire -Patient version was completed by 200 older adults admitted to different wards of the hospitals. They were selected through convenient sampling. Data were collected in 5 hospitals affiliated to Guilan University of Medical Sciences, East of Guilan located in the north of Iran, from November 2017 to February 2018.MethodsThis study was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the original questionnaire with 17 items was translated from English into Persian using Forward-Backward translation method. In the second phase, the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were evaluated using face, content, and construct validity, as well as reliability (internal consistency and stability). Data were analyzed via SPSS software v.16.ResultsThe results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) led to retaining 17 items with three factors of "Safety", "Hospitality", and "Everydayness" which explained 47.69% of the total variance. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated for each factor (0.85, 0.70, and 0.64, respectively) as well as the whole instrument (0.85), to ensure internal consistency. Stability was confirmed by calculating the intra-class correlation coefficient as 0.99.ConclusionsThe current study found support for assessing the person-centered climate from the perspective of the elderly patients by using the Persian version of the Person-centered Climate Questionnaire-Patient that has an appropriate cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability.
