Multicenter StudyValidity, internal consistency reliability and one-year stability of the Slovene translation of the Measure of Processes of Care (20-item version).
The Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) was developed as a self-administered questionnaire for parents to report on behaviours of healthcare providers. The original (MPOC-56) and the 20-item version (MPOC-20) have established reliability and validity, but the instrument must be rechecked whenever translated and applied in a different social and cultural setting. The aim of our study was to evaluate validity, internal consistency reliability and 1-year stability of the Slovene translation of MPOC-20. ⋯ The Slovene translation of the MPOC-20 can be considered as a valid and reliable instrument that shows good stability over a period of 1 year, and as such it can be adopted in clinical practice.
