Implication

Psychometric validation study demonstrates structural invariance and reliability of the French P-CAT among nursing home staff, indicating its utility for assessing elder care quality.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties, structural invariance, and factor structure of the French version of the Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT) among nursing home staff.
  • Translated the P-CAT into French and administered it with other questionnaires to N = 473 staff across 41 nursing homes, divided into two independent cohorts.
  • Conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses along with tests for reliability, structural invariance, convergent validity, and divergent validity.
  • Factor analyses validated a three-dimensional model comprising organizational and environmental support, care planning, and adaptability to resident needs.
  • The tool demonstrated adequate internal consistency (ω = 0.79) as well as good convergent and divergent validity across participants.
