Abstract

Background: Patients’ trust in their physicians can affect therapeutic outcomes. Measurement of patient’s trust levels is a helpful approach for policymakers in healthcare systems. Aim: The present study was targeted toward the translation and psychometric assessment of patients’ trust in midwifery care questionnaire. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 210 female patients referring to the midwifery offices of Tehran, Iran, in 2017. After the translation and back translation of the original version of patient’s trust questionnaire, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to measure the structural validity and reliability (through Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intra-class correlation) of the instrument. Results: Measurement of the questionnaire validity by exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors with the eigenvalues of > 1. The three extracted factors accounted for 73.24% of total variance. The goodness of fit indices revealed that the fitness of the three-factor model was at a desirable level, rendering a χ2/degree of freedom of 2.34, comparative fit index of 0.96, and root mean square error of approximation of 0.07. The reliability of the scale was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.81 and intra-cluster correlation of 0.96. Implications for Practice: The patients’ trust questionnaire, measuring the extent of patient’s trust in midwifery offices in Tehran, is a proper tool, enjoying appropriate validity and reliability. The results of the study also showed that the Persian version of the tool can be used to measure the trust rate of the patients referring to the midwifery offices in Iran.

助产护理量表波斯语版患者信任的翻译与心理测量学评估

背景:患者对医生的信任可以影响治疗结果。测量患者的信任水平是一个有用的方法，为决策者在医疗保健系统。目的:本研究针对助产护理问卷中患者信任的翻译和心理测量学评估进行研究。方法:对2017年在伊朗德黑兰接生办就诊的210名女性患者进行横断面研究。在对原版患者信任问卷进行翻译和回译后，进行探索性和验证性因素分析，通过Cronbach’s alpha系数和类内相关性来衡量该工具的结构效度和信度。结果:通过探索性因子分析对问卷效度进行测量，发现三个因子的特征值均为bbbb1。三个提取因子占总方差的73.24%。拟合优度指标显示，三因素模型的拟合程度处于理想水平，χ2/自由度为2.34，比较拟合指数为0.96，近似均方根误差为0.07。量表的信度经Cronbach's alpha系数为0.81，簇内相关系数为0.96证实。实践意义:患者信任问卷，衡量病人的信任程度在助产办公室在德黑兰，是一个适当的工具，具有适当的效度和信度。研究结果还表明，该工具的波斯语版本可以用来衡量伊朗助产士办公室的患者信任度。

期刊介绍： The Evidence Based Care Journal (EBCJ) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of patient care. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports patient care in practice. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
