Patient outcomes (fatigue severity, disability, and depression) were derived from questionnaire measures.
The KIDSCREEN Index questionnaire measuring HrQoL from both patients and parents perspective was included as a generic measure to examine convergent validity of the QoLISSY for psychometric testing purposes as a reliable and valid generic instrument [ 27].
A postal questionnaire measuring constructs from the theory of planned behaviour and knowledge of third molar management was distributed to all the participating dentists after the interventions, achieving a response rate of 90%.
We used a 9-item self-report questionnaire measure adapted from the Social Support and Exercise Survey [ 47] to assesses the frequency with which family members and friends engaged in support of the respondents' PA (e.g., "gave me helpful reminders to exercise") and participated in exercise with the respondent (e.g., "exercised with me").
Satisfaction with the encounter was measured immediately after the encounter using patients' willingness to recommend the way they made the decision (i.e., use of the DA) to others from a questionnaire, measured on a 7-point Likert scale, converted into two categories: recommend (1 2) or not (3 7).
The questionnaire measures subjective health in eight scales, which range from 0 to 100.
The Phase I questionnaire measured psychological strain resulting from exposure to occupational stressors, and measured the presence of stress buffers and demographic, psychological and lifestyle-related confounding factors, including age, rank and gender, mood state and the occurrence of stressful life events outside of work.
The need to devise and test a new questionnaire measuring patient satisfaction stemmed from the specific nature of the South African public sector ART programme, together with a lack of appropriate tools adequately tested in high-prevalence, resource-limited settings.
The feasibility of using a computerized self-interview method is based on the estimated amount of assistance needed to complete questionnaires (measured in increments from 0-100%), comments collected from the interviewer offering assistance, any technical problems encountered, and comments solicited from the participants during the exit interview.
This study describes the development and validation of the TRAnsitional patient safety Climate Evaluation (TRACE) questionnaire, measuring transitional patient safety climate from the perspective of general practitioners and hospital physicians.
10 17– 20 In a previous study, we found that four subscales from a questionnaire measuring nurses' work environment were associated with nurse-assessed patient safety and quality: (1) quality system, (2) staffing adequacy, (3) nurse physician relationship and (4) patient safety management.
