Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of the 15-item Picker Patient Experience questionnaire (PPE-15) when embedded in a short form instrument as compared with a longer form measure.

Methods: A postal questionnaire survey of patients recently discharged from two hospital trusts was carried out. Patients were randomized to receive the PPE-15 in either a four-page or a 12-page survey instrument.

Results: A total of 1445 questionnaires were mailed to patients in either four- or 12-page formats. A total of 949 (65.67 per cent) forms were returned. No difference in response rate was found between the two versions of the questionnaire. Item completion and psychometric properties of the PPE-15 were not found to differ significantly between the two arms of the trial.

Conclusion: In this survey the length of questionnaire in which the PPE-15 was embedded had no impact in terms of response rate or data quality. Consequently, the results suggest that length of questionnaire, up to the 108 items included in the 12-page survey, is unlikely to adversely affect results on the PPE-15.

Picker患者体验问卷在长与短形式调查工具的随机对照试验中的特性。

背景:本研究的目的是比较15项选择者患者体验问卷(PPE-15)在嵌入短形式仪器时的表现，与长形式测量相比。方法:对两所医院信托医院近期出院患者进行邮寄问卷调查。患者随机接受4页或12页的PPE-15调查工具。结果:共有1445份问卷以4页或12页的形式邮寄给患者。共退回949份表格(65.67%)。两份问卷的回应率并无差异。PPE-15的项目完成和心理测量特性在两组试验中没有发现显著差异。结论:在本次调查中，PPE-15问卷的长度对问卷的回复率和数据质量没有影响。因此，结果表明，问卷的长度，多达108项包括在12页的调查，不太可能对PPE-15的结果产生不利影响。
