| Popis: | Background Palliative care is now part of Universal Health Coverage goals. Measurement of person-centred outcomes is central to determining quality and effectiveness. Guidance in psychometrics requires tools applied in new settings to have their properties tested. Aims To translate staff and patient versions of the Palliative care Outcome Scale (POS version 2) into Thai, and to determine its psychometric properties among cancer patients in a Thai public hospital. Design The Thai POS was subjected to cross-cultural translation: forward translation, backward translation, review by experts, and content validity index measurement. The patient-rated version was completed by N=379, and staff-rated version by N=379 nurses. We tested internal consistency, known-group comparison, responsiveness, and agreement. Setting /participants: n=379 Thai cancer patients admitted to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. Results We found good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha=0.9), good discrimination between known groups (significant difference in scores between high and low performance status groups, Z ranged from -9.95 to -7.80, pConclusion The Thai POS is valid and reliable. These findings enable researchers and clinicians to apply the POS in primary research and routine clinical practice, to both determine the effectiveness of interventions and improve care. This is the first validation in the region of a multidimensional person-centred outcome measure designed specifically for patients and families with advanced disease. |
