Abstract
Aims: to test the measurement properties of the Portuguese version of the Commissioning for Quality in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient-Reported Experience Measure (CQRA-PREM) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: This cross-sectional clinical field study recruited adult patients with RA during rheumatology appointments of a Portuguese rheumatology center. Patients completed the Portuguese version of CQRA-PREM, composed of 7 domains and 24 questions. Sociodemographic characteristics, symptoms/disease duration, current treatment, Pain-Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Patient Global Assessment (PGA)-VAS and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) were also collected from the patient. Disease Activity Score for 28 joints with C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) was recorded by the rheumatologist. The assessment of CQRA-PREM measurement properties followed the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) recommendations.
Results: A total of 61 patients with RA were included. The domains in which patients showed better experience were the "Needs and preferences", followed by "Coordination and Communication". The domain "Information, education and self-care" was an identified area of improvement for providing patient-centered care. Ceiling effects were found in four domains of the CQRA-PREM. Internal consistency of all domains was considered good (α>0.7). Homogeneity was considered good for each question in all domains analyzed (0.30≤rp≤0.70). The divergent validity of the PREM was good, revealing that the domains were not correlated (Pain-VAS, HAQ, DAS28-CRP) or only weakly (PGA-VAS) correlated with clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: The CQRA-PREM showed acceptable measurement properties and is a useful tool for evaluating quality of healthcare provided in daily practice, as perceived by RA patients in Portugal.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
