Abstract

Aims

To translate the Clients' Perceptions of Providers' Cultural Competency into Chinese, validate it with Chinese immigrant clients in the United States and explore their healthcare experiences.

Background

Culturally competent care is crucial to promote access, utilization and health outcomes among racial and ethnic minorities. Chinese immigrants represent the largest Asian-American population in the US healthcare providers can enhance patient-centred care with instruments that assess and improve their cultural competency. The Clients' Perceptions of Providers' Cultural Competency instrument can assess healthcare providers' cultural competency, offer feedback and improve patient-centred care.

Design

An online, cross-sectional design was utilized for this psychometric study.

Method

Data from 121 Chinese immigrants in the United States were analysed using Cronbach's alpha and exploratory factor analysis to assess reliability and construct validity. Criterion validity was examined by testing the association between self-reported health and cultural competency using a generalized linear model.

Results

Cronbach's alpha of the instrument was 0.91. The construct validity of the instrument revealed the four-dimensional structure. Self-reported health was significantly associated with cultural competency (p = 0.003).

Conclusion

Findings support the Chinese Clients' Perceptions of Providers' Cultural Competency instrument as a reliable and valid instrument to measure Chinese immigrants' perceptions of healthcare providers' cultural competency.

顾客对服务提供者文化胜任力感知量表中文版的验证。

目的：将客户对医疗服务提供者文化能力的认知转化为中文，并与在美中国移民客户进行验证，并探讨他们的医疗体验。背景：文化上合格的护理对于促进少数种族和族裔群体的获取、利用和健康结果至关重要。中国移民代表了美国最大的亚裔美国人人口，医疗保健提供者可以通过评估和提高他们的文化能力的工具来加强以患者为中心的护理。客户对提供者文化能力的感知工具可以评估医疗保健提供者的文化能力，提供反馈和改善以患者为中心的护理。设计：本心理测量学研究采用在线横断面设计。方法：采用Cronbach's alpha和探索性因子分析对121名在美华人移民的数据进行分析，评估信度和结构效度。通过使用广义线性模型测试自我报告健康与文化能力之间的关系来检验标准效度。结果：仪器的Cronbach’s alpha值为0.91。量表的构效度呈现出四维结构。自我报告的健康状况与文化能力显著相关（p = 0.003）。结论：研究结果支持中国客户对医疗服务提供者文化能力感知量表作为衡量中国移民对医疗服务提供者文化能力感知的可靠和有效的工具。
