The number of questions in the survey
13/17
Short description
There had been no scales specifically developed to assess physician-patient communication behaviors (PPCB) in the sub-Saharan population. Therefore an existing PPCB scale was revised and tested for HIV patients in Kenya. The measure consists of 17 items (five-point scale) measuring PPCB which where initially adopted from the Matched Pair Instrument (MPI).
PCCC or QoL? ?
This compendium contains patient-reported measures that are either designed to specifically measure aspects of Person Centred Co-Ordinated Care (P3C), or alternatively tools that are designed to measure some aspect of Quality of Life (QoL) or Health Related Quality of Life (hrQoL). All the measures in this compendium have been broadly categorised into one of those two concepts.
Person Centred Coordinated Care
Main Domains Measured ?
This is the key domains that the measure is targeting.
Communication
Type of measure ?
The measures in this compendium can take a variety of forms. Generally, they will be either Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) or Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM). However, we have also included a few measures that are completed by proxy-individual (PROXY), which are useful in instances where the respondent cannot answer directly (e.g. dementia or end of life). Sometimes, these measures can even be a composite of these types, and target both experiences and outcomes – we have labelled these measures “PROEMs”.
PREM
Respondent ?
The person that fills in the questionnaire - e.g. patient, Health Care Professional, or proxy (normally a carer or family member)

Psychometrics

Brief description ?
A brief description of the initially reported psychometric properties of the measure.
Construct and content validity supported a one-dimensional measure of 13 PPCB items. Items assessed physicians' effort to promote a favorable atmosphere for interaction with HIV patients. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .81) and one-week retest reliability scores (.82) supported the reliability of the 13-item scale.
