Objectives: Evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey (H-PEPSSDutch), an instrument used to assess self-efficacy regarding patient safety competence.
Methods: The H-PEPSSDutch was administered to 610 students in two Belgian nursing schools. We used confirmatory factor analysis, for both classroom and clinical learning, to examine the psychometric properties.
Purpose: To evaluate psychometric properties of the Functional Assessment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection (FAHI) questionnaire, a 47-item disease-specific instrument evaluating Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients.
Methods: Treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients from two clinical programmes (N = 565; N = 1,096) completed the FAHI at Baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. Psychometric properties of the FAHI were assessed in both trial populations, including minimal important differences (MIDs) calculations.
Purpose: To study the effects of etravirine versus placebo on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of HIV-infected patients.
Method: HRQL of HIV-infected patients was measured using the Functional Assessment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection (FAHI) questionnaire in two identically designed phase III clinical trials investigating efficacy and safety of etravirine as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Pooled analyses of covariance, adjusted for treatment group, baseline FAHI score, CD4 cell count, viral load, and enfuvirtide use helped investigate changes in FAHI scores between baseline and Week 24 in etravirine-treated (n = 599) and placebo-treated (n = 604) subjects.
