Validation process measures patient-centered surgical care in Sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting further evaluation is needed.
A novel parsimonious scale for measuring PCSC, a first of its kind for SSA, was developed using standard instrument development guidelines. The scale has shown evidence for reliability and construct validity paving the way for further validation among surgical patients in similar settings. The test-retest reliability, which was conducted on a sample of only 57 participants from four different study sites, was moderate to low (ICC: 0.61) pointing to the need for further evaluation using a larger sample size.
