Person-centered care assessment tool with a focus on quality healthcare: a systematic review of psychometric properties.

BACKGROUND: The person-centered care (PCC) approach plays a fundamental role in ensuring quality healthcare. The Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT) is one of the shortest and simplest tools currently available for measuring PCC. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the evidence in validation studies of the P-CAT, taking the "Standards" as a frame of reference. METHODS: First, a systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA method. Second, a systematic descriptive literature review of validity tests was conducted following the "Standards" framework. The search strategy and information sources were obtained from the Cochrane, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and PubMed databases. With regard to the eligibility criteria and selection process, a protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022335866), and articles had to meet criteria for inclusion in the systematic review. RESULTS: A total of seven articles were included. Empirical evidence indicates that these validations offer a high number of sources related to test content, internal structure for dimensionality and internal consistency. A moderate number of sources pertain to internal structure in terms of test-retest reliability and the relationship with other variables. There is little evidence of response processes, internal structure in measurement invariance terms, and test consequences. DISCUSSION: The various validations of the P-CAT are not framed in a structured, valid, theory-based procedural framework like the "Standards" are. This can affect clinical practice because people's health may depend on it. The findings of this study show that validation studies continue to focus on the types of validity traditionally studied and overlook interpretation of the scores in terms of their intended use.

Validity evidence for the coping strategy indicator-short version (CSI-S) among psychology students.

The abbreviated measurement of coping strategies is useful for monitoring and identifying the effects of stress. The Coping strategy indicator-Short version (CSI-S, including the dimensions of seeking support, problem solving and avoidance strategies) is a new adaptation of the full version of this indicator, and additional evidence of its validity is needed. Psychology students (n = 125) from a public university in Lima, Peru, were recruited to help provide such evidence of validity in terms of internal structure, reliability and associations with other variables (perceived stress and general efficacy in cope with difficulties), which were evaluated using nonparametric item response theory procedures. Support-seeking and problem-solving items from the Mokken scale and the avoidance scale exhibited limitations. The correlations between the scales were moderate or low and exhibited theoretical consistency, and the relationship with perceived stress highlighted the predictive capacity of avoidance and problem-solving strategies. In general, the CSI-S exhibits suitable psychometric properties; however, the avoidance score requires further examination or reconstruction of its items.

Estandarización de la batería de Evaluación de la Memoria Semántica (EMSEA) en adultos mayores institucionalizados de Lima / Standardization of the Semantic Memory Evaluation Battery (EMSEA) in institutionalized elderly adults of Lima

Objetivo: Determinar si la memoria semántica es un factor asociado al deterioro cognitivo en adultos mayores de Lima. Método: Se aplicaron la batería de Evaluación de la Memoria Semántica para Adultos Mayores (EMSEA), el Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) y otros instrumentos que fueron utilizados como criterios externos. La muestra estuvo constituida por 158 adultos mayores de Lima Metropolitana entre 60 a 95 años de edad. La EMSEA diferencia entre una muestra normal y clínica, siendo la sensibilidad de 80% y la especificidad de 100% para un punto de corte de 251. Se evidencia validez concurrente y se demuestra un modelo EMSEA de dos factores. La confiabilidad fue adecuada con valor Alfa de Cronbach de .75 y Theta de .80. Resultados: Los datos descriptivos señalaron un 28% de prevalencia de deterioro cognitivo y 23% de nivel de memoria semántica bajo. El modelo predictivo señala que tres áreas de la memoria semántica están asociadas al deterioro cognitivo con un R2 de 25%, quedando el modelo establecido por: Verificación, denominación de dibujos y analogías. Conclusión: Se concluye que la batería EMSEA presenta evidencia de validez de criterio y constructo, así como consistencia interna. (AU)

Objective: To determine if semantic memory is a factor associated with cognitive impairment in older adults in Lima. Method: The Semantic Memory Assessment Battery for Older Adults (EMSEA), the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and other instruments that were used as external criteria were applied. The sample consisted of 158 older adults from Metropolitan Lima between 60 and 95 years of age. EMSEA differentiates between a normal and clinical sample, with a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 100% for a cut-off point of 251. Concurrent validity is evidenced and a two-factor EMSEA model is demonstrated. Cronbach's Alpha value is .75 and Theta is .80. Results: Descriptive data indicated a 28% prevalence of cognitive impairment and a 23% low semantic memory level. The predictive model indicates that three areas of semantic memory are associated with cognitive impairment with an R2 of 25%, leaving the model established by: Verification, naming of drawings and analogies. Conclusion: It is concluded that the EMSEA battery presents evidence of criterion and construct validity, internal consistency and a predictive. (AU)

Rating mean of expert judges and asymmetric confidence intervals in content validity: An SPSS syntax

La estimación de la validez de contenido, obtenida mediante el análisis racional de jueces expertos, habitualmente se hace con coeficientes que estandarizan entre 0.0 y 1.0 el juicio de los jueces. Sin embargo, esta estimación también puede expresarse en la métrica de las respuestas de los jueces, en la forma de la media de respuesta, y con intervalos de confianza asimétricos alrededor de esta media. El objetivo del presente manuscrito es implementar un procedimiento para estas estimaciones (media de respuesta e intervalos de confianza asimétricos) en un programa escrito en sintaxis SPSS. Se explica la racionalidad del procedimiento, y se desarrolla un ejemplo aplicado del cálculo. El programa es de distribución libre, solicitándolo a los autores.(AU)

The estimation of content validity, obtained by rational analysis of expert judges, is usually done with coefficients that standardize between 0.0 and 1.0 the judges' judgment. However, this estimate can also be ex-pressed in the metric of the judges' responses, in the form of the response mean, and with asymmetric confidence intervals around this mean. The aim of the present manuscript is to implement a procedure for these esti-mates (response mean and asymmetric confidence intervals) in a program written in SPSS syntax. The rationale of the procedure is explained, and an applied example of the calculation is developed. The program is freely dis-tributed upon request to the authors.
