Norwegian adaptation of the Quality in Psychiatric Care - In-Patient instrument: psychometric properties and factor structure.

Background: Validated instruments measuring the quality of mental healthcare from patients' perspectives are scarce, and available instruments have been requested. One of the few instruments measuring the quality of care from a patient's perspective is the Swedish Quality in Psychiatric Care-In-Patient (QPC-IP). This cross-sectional study aimed to translate and adapt the QPC-IP instrument for a Norwegian context and assess its psychometric properties.

Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Strengths and Difficulties Self-Report Questionnaire in 12 Asian and European Countries.

Objective: The self-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is widely used globally; hence, the validity of the intergroup comparisons is essential. This study examined the structure of the self-report SDQ in a large multinational adolescent sample, tested its measurement invariance across genders and countries, and compared youth mental health in 12 European and Asian countries.

Method: This study is part of the Eurasian Child Mental Health Study (EACMHS), a cross-cultural research study of child and adolescent well-being and mental health in 12 Asian and European countries.

Investigating the Associations between Patient-Reported Quality of Care and Perceived Coercion: A Norwegian Cross-Sectional Study.

Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 169 patients in Norwegian mental health wards using the quality in psychiatric care-inpatient (QPC-IP) instrument and experienced coercion scale (ECS).
