Validation and implementation of a patient-reported experience measure for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To test the psychometric properties of the United Kingdom's Commissioning for Quality in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient-Reported Experience Measure (CQRA-PREM) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to implement this questionnaire in daily practice in the Netherlands.

Methods

After a forward-backward translation procedure into Dutch, the CQRA-PREM was tested into two quality registries in daily practice. Face validity was assessed with focus group interviews. Feasibility was evaluated through completion times and interpretability of domain scores through floor and ceiling effects. Internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficients) and homogeneity (corrected item-total correlations) were determined. Divergent validity was assessed by
