Article Synopsis
- The Perceptions of Palliative Care Instrument (PPCI) is designed to assess patients' views on palliative care, particularly for those with advanced cancer, but its effectiveness hadn't been thoroughly validated until this study.
- A total of 444 participants were recruited from a medical oncology department, and various psychometric evaluations were conducted using Rasch analysis to test the instrument's reliability and fit.
- The study confirmed that the PPCI is a reliable tool for measuring perceptions in this patient group, though it suggests removing two specific items that didn't fit the model to enhance its quality.
