Development and Psychometric Testing of Epat‐16
BACKGROUND: We previously developed the EPAT-64, a patient-reported experience measure designed to assess patient-centeredness (PC) across 16 dimensions of the validated integrative model of PC. While its modular structure makes it highly adaptable to examine certain dimensions of PC, generating an overall PC score requires assessing all 64 items. This is often challenging in routine settings with limited resources. Therefore, we developed and ps…
Physical and Psychological Symptoms After Stroke
Stroke survivors experience physical and psychological symptoms. However, long-term symptom prevalence and symptom associations have not been extensively studied. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of physical and psychological symptoms across four years after stroke and to evaluate the relationship between these symptoms. We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective, clinical, observational study. Physical (pain, fatigue, and…
Effects of a shared decision‐making implementation programme on patient‐centred communication in oncology—Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND: There is a need for better implementation of patient-centred (PC) communication and shared decision-making (SDM) in routine cancer care. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess whether a programme to implement SDM in oncology had effects on PC communication in clinical encounters. DESIGN: This study constitutes a secondary analysis of data derived from an implementation trial applying a stepped wedge design that, among other st…
Methodological and Statistical Practices of Using Symptom Networks to Evaluate Mental Health Interventions
The network approach to psychopathology, which assesses associations between individual symptoms, has recently been applied to evaluate treatments for mental disorders. While various options for conducting network analyses in intervention research exist, an overview and an evaluation of the various approaches are currently missing. Therefore, we conducted a review on network analyses in intervention research. Studies were included if they constru…
Psychometric Properties of the German Version of the Benzodiazepine Dependence Self-Report Questionnaire
To facilitate measurement and screening of benzodiazepine/Z-drug dependence, the Dutch “Benzodiazepine Dependence Self-Report Questionnaire” was translated into German (Bendep-SRQ-GV) and psychometrically evaluated. A cross-sectional online study with 343 benzodiazepine/Z-drug users was conducted. Structural validity and reliability were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, while convergent validity was evaluated through correlation and r…

Development and content validity of the Experienced Patient‐Centeredness Questionnaire (Epat)—A best practice example for generating patient‐reported measures from qualitative data
INTRODUCTION: To effectively foster patient-centeredness (PC), it is crucial to measure its implementation. So far, there is no German measure to assess PC comprehensively. The aim of this study is to develop and select items for the Experienced Patient-Centeredness (EPAT) Questionnaire, a patient-reported experience measure (PREM). The EPAT intends to assess PC from the perspective of adult patients treated for different chronic diseases in inpa…
Psychometric properties of the Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (Bitsea) in two-year-old Ivorian and Ghanaian children
There is a lack of feasible and psychometrically sound instruments assessing social-emotional development in young children in low- and middle-income countries. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (BITSEA) in two West-African populations. We administered the BITSEA in an interview-based mode to 289 mothers from Côte d'Ivoire and 227 …
Internet gaming disorder and problematic social media use in a representative sample of German adolescents
Problematic use of computer games was incorporated in the DSM-5 (so-called Internet Gaming Disorder, IGD) and the ICD-11. Knowledge on problematic social media use (PSMU) is scarcer. This is the first study that investigates both IGD and PSMU in a representative sample. A sample of 1001 German 12- to 17-year olds (483 girls, 518 boys) was surveyed on IGD, PSMU, depressive symptoms and further psychosocial aspects (standardized questionnaires: IGD…
A skills network approach to physicians’ competence in shared decision making
BACKGROUND: Measurement of physicians' competence in shared decision making (SDM) remains challenging with frequent disagreement between assessment methods. OBJECTIVE: To conceptualize and measure physicians' SDM competence as an organized network of behavioural skills and to determine whether processing patient-reported data according to this model can be used to predict observer-rated competence. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of an observational s…
A longitudinal study on psychosocial causes and consequences of Internet gaming disorder in adolescence
Background In 2013, Internet gaming disorder (IGD) was incorporated in the current version of the DSM-5. IGD refers to a problematic use of video games. Longitudinal studies on the etiology of IGD are lacking. Furthermore, it is currently unclear to which extent associated psychopathological problems are causes or consequences of IGD. In the present survey, longitudinal associations between IGD and adolescent and parental mental health were inves…
Psychometric Properties of a German Version of the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ) in two Independent Samples of Adolescents
Translation and validation of a multidimensional instrument to assess health literacy
BACKGROUND: The patients' task to find, evaluate and transfer health information to one's individual condition and life requires competences that are summarized by the term 'health literacy'. Poor health literacy is associated with poorer health outcomes, like a higher rate of rehospitalization, lower receipt of screenings and a higher frequency of doctor visits. OBJECTIVE: Three levels of health literacy are distinguished: functional, communicat…
Comparing the nine‐item Shared Decision‐Making Questionnaire to the Option Scale – an attempt to establish convergent validity
BACKGROUND: While there has been a clear move towards shared decision-making (SDM) in the last few years, the measurement of SDM-related constructs remains challenging. There has been a call for further psychometric testing of known scales, especially regarding validity aspects. OBJECTIVE: To test convergent validity of the nine-item Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9) by comparing it to the OPTION Scale. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.…

A Brief Version of the Quality of Life in Short Stature Youth Questionnaire - the QoLissy-Brief
Psychometric evaluation of the German version of the patient activation measure (PAM13)
The German version of the PAM13 showed acceptable reliability and the model-fit statistics confirmed the Rasch model. The different ranking order of the items and the unfair distribution of the response options suggest further research on validation and revision of the construct
Lay Theories toward Cancer and Myocardial Infarction
The objective of this study was a transcultural comparison regarding illness-related causal and control attributes using a survey of healthy Germans in Germany, Spaniards in Spain and Spaniards in Germany. Each group contained 100 persons, matched according to sex, age and education. Germans showed more pronounced internal causal as well as control beliefs while Spaniards in Germany showed fatalistic attribution and Spaniards in Spain placed more…
Confirmatory factor analysis and recommendations for improvement of the Autonomy‐Preference‐Index (API)
Objective Validation of the German version of the Autonomy‐Preference‐Index (API), a measure of patients’ preferences for decision making and information seeking. Methods Stepwise confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on a sample of patients ( n = 1592) treated in primary care for depression ( n = 186), surgical and internal medicine inpatients ( n = 811) and patients with minor trauma treated in an emergency department ( n = 595). An initia…
