          Abstract

          Objective

          To introduce patient-centered approach in China and to relate it with Chinese patient satisfaction via validating the Chinese version of Patient-Professional Interaction Questionnaire (PPIQ-C).

          Design

          This cross-sectional survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews from June to September in 2019. Participants rated their patient-centered care experience via the 16-item translated PPIQ, their experience of the received medical service, and their overall satisfaction.

          Setting

          Kunshan Huaqiao People's Hospital in Jiangsu, China.

          Participants

          A total of 230 participants (87 males and 143 females; 108 outpatients and 122 inpatients).

          Results

          PPIQ-C exhibited acceptable psychometric properties. Data revealed a single factor model of the 16 PPIQ-C items [ χ ( 4 ) 2 = 12.394, p = 0.823, CFI = 1.000, TLI = 1.019, RMSEA = 0.000, SRMR = 0.032] had a superior model fit over the original first-order with four correlated factors and the second-order structures. The overall reliability was excellent (McDonald's ω = 0.975). In terms of patient satisfaction, process, treatment quality, and communication significantly predicted patient satisfaction, while environment, staff attitude, and medical ethics did not [ R 2 = 0.427, F (6) = 24.887, p < 0.001]. Most importantly, the total score of PPIQ-C predicted patient satisfaction above and beyond the above-mentioned medical service perspectives ( B = 0.595, SE = 0.207, p = 0.004). Finally, the constructive effect of PCC on patient satisfaction was stronger for departments of Pediatrics than Surgery.

          Conclusions

          The Chinese version of the PPIQ scale (PPIQ-C) exhibited acceptable psychometric properties. Yet the distinction among the four factors was not supported, suggesting potential difference(s) across cultures. Patient-centered care (PCC), reflected by the overall PPIQ-C score, predicted overall patient satisfaction above and beyond other medical service perspectives. Adopting PCC approach in appropriate situations will probably advance the development of performance evaluation systems in China, thus improving the overall health care and patient satisfaction.

            Comparative fit indexes in structural models.

            Normed and nonnormed fit indexes are frequently used as adjuncts to chi-square statistics for evaluating the fit of a structural model. A drawback of existing indexes is that they estimate no known population parameters. A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models. Two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes. CFI avoids the underestimation of fit often noted in small samples for Bentler and Bonett's (1980) normed fit index (NFI). FI is a linear function of Bentler and Bonett's non-normed fit index (NNFI) that avoids the extreme underestimation and overestimation often found in NNFI. Asymptotically, CFI, FI, NFI, and a new index developed by Bollen are equivalent measures of comparative fit, whereas NNFI measures relative fit by comparing noncentrality per degree of freedom. All of the indexes are generalized to permit use of Wald and Lagrange multiplier statistics. An example illustrates the behavior of these indexes under conditions of correct specification and misspecification. The new fit indexes perform very well at all sample sizes.
