Abstract [en]

PURPOSE: Evaluating the quality of psychiatric care from the patient's perspective is crucial to measure the effectiveness of the provided care. This study aimed to translate the original Swedish Quality in Psychiatric Care - Inpatient (QPC-IP) instrument into Faroese, adapting it to the specific context of psychiatric inpatient care in the Faroe Islands, conducting a detailed evaluation of its psychometric properties, and to describe patients' perception of quality of psychiatric care.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following a thorough translation and back-translation, the content validity of the Faroese QPC-IP was confirmed by a group of Faroese patients. Subsequently, the instrument was completed by 61 psychiatric inpatients. RESULTS: Item total correlations revealed that most items strongly correlated with their intended dimensions, mirroring the original Swedish version. However, a noteworthy exception was found in the discharge dimension, leading to the exclusion of an item related to helping find an occupation; this task was not performed by the ward. While the internal consistency of the overall scale was excellent, specific dimensions exhibited lower consistency.

CONCLUSIONS: The translation and cultural adaptation of the Faroese QPC-IP proved satisfactory. The psychometric evaluation affirmed a shared understanding of the quality of psychiatric care in both Faroese and Swedish cultural contexts. As a result, the Faroese QPC-IP emerges as a valuable instrument for assessing the quality of psychiatric care in the Faroe Islands. Its utility extends to quality assurance initiatives and contributes to cross-cultural research examining the quality of psychiatric care from the patient's perspective.
