Background. Person’s participation to care, which is the ability of the patient to take an active role in decisions regarding his treatment, is difficult to implement in the context of emergency - urgency. In the literature there is no evidence of Italian instrument assessing the degree of participation in the care process in emergency room (ER). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to translate and validate the questionnaire PPED from Swedish to Italian and to measure participation of clients in emergency room. Methods. The research design of the study is methodological. Between November 2010 and July 2011, a first study was carried out on a stratified convenience sample of 381 patients of of San Gerardo Hospital in Monza to verify translation and to test the instrument into Italian ER setting; the instrument has shown the low reliability of some items (number 2-5-15). So, an expert committee revised these items making them closer to the Italian culture. It was then performed a second study on a stratified convenience sample of 266 users of the ER of the same hospital in July 2013 to test again the reliability of the tool. Results. The PPED achieved good reliability (alpha of 0.77 Cronbach overall). Although there were four distinct factors in the original questionnaire three distinct factors were identified by performed factor analysis : Mutual involvement; Difficulties in participation and Conditions of participation. Also these three dimensions showed acceptable reliability levels (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient ranged from 0.629 to 0.854).

Abstract

Background. Person’s participation to care, which is the ability of the patient to take an active role in decisions regarding his treatment, is difficult to implement in the context of emergency - urgency. In the literature there is no evidence of Italian instrument assessing the degree of participation in the care process in emergency room (ER). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to translate and validate the questionnaire PPED from Swedish to Italian and to measure participation of clients in emergency room. Methods. The research design of the study is methodological. Between November 2010 and July 2011, a first study was carried out on a stratified convenience sample of 381 patients of of San Gerardo Hospital in Monza to verify translation and to test the instrument into Italian ER setting; the instrument has shown the low reliability of some items (number 2-5-15). So, an expert committee revised these items making them closer to the Italian culture. It was then performed a second study on a stratified convenience sample of 266 users of the ER of the same hospital in July 2013 to test again the reliability of the tool. Results. The PPED achieved good reliability (alpha of 0.77 Cronbach overall). Although there were four distinct factors in the original questionnaire three distinct factors were identified by performed factor analysis : Mutual involvement; Difficulties in participation and Conditions of participation. Also these three dimensions showed acceptable reliability levels (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient ranged from 0.629 to 0.854).
