Public interest in healthcare is increasingly focusing on the perspectives of patients. This emphasis serves various purposes, such as enhancing a patient-centered approach and evaluating healthcare performance. The assessment of these perspectives relies on diverse tools, including Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), satisfaction evaluations, and Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs). PROMs, specifically, are valuable for quantifying the outcomes. They are considered as a reflexive tool. Satisfaction assessments gauge the subjective satisfaction of patients' experiences. PREMs are multidimensional and objective in evaluating patients’ experience. We consider it as a formative tool and it must be validated as such. Observations reveal that many PREMs are validated as reflexive tools or often utilized as satisfaction questionnaires. Objectives Our primary objective was to investigate the methods used to validate the psychometric properties of these PREMs. Our main outcome measure focused on the validation methods employed for each PREM. Second outcomes were: response types, guidelines used, French validation and their application in research. |
