Psychometric evaluation of the SUP-PREM: a patient-reported experience measure for acute psychiatric inpatient care in Sweden

PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF SUP-PREM, A PATIENT‑REPORTED EXPERIENCE MEASURE FOR ACUTE PSYCHIATRIC INPATIENT CARE IN SWEDEN

The 21-item SUP-PREM demonstrated promising preliminary psychometric properties as a brief measure of patient experience in an acute psychiatric ward, with a three-factor structure and high overall internal consistency.

Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) for acute psychiatric inpatient care are limited. The SUP-PREM, which covers care planning, preparation for discharge, and perceived safety, was developed through focus groups and content mapping against the 19 domains identified in the systematic review by Miglietta and colleagues (2018); this study evaluated its psychometric properties. The 21-item scale was administered at discharge to a consecutive sample of inpatients on Ward 366 at Sahlgrenska University Hospital (N = 70), and data were collected in two waves (an online survey and AmniCare). Most items used five-point satisfaction, participation, or experience scales; items with binary or unordered response options, such as awareness of the care plan, involvement of relatives, and lack of information about activities, were analyzed and reported separately. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted using maximum likelihood estimation and Oblimin rotation; the number of factors was determined using parallel analysis and MAP, internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega, and item–total correlations were examined to assess discrimination. The three-factor solution explained 62.0% of the variance and showed acceptable fit (TLI = 0.906, RMSEA = 0.0807); the factors were interpreted as care planning, treatment, and support; staff relationships and safety; and information and contact persons. Overall scale reliability was high (alpha = 0.932, omega = 0.957); reliability was high for Factors 1 and 2 (alpha ≥ 0.922, omega ≥ 0.926), but questionable for Factor 3 (alpha = 0.634, omega = 0.676). Most items showed good or very good discrimination, while the binary item measuring awareness of the care plan functioned better as a standalone indicator. The authors conclude that the SUP-PREM has promising preliminary psychometric properties as a brief PREM and requires confirmatory testing in larger, independent samples.
