1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundValidated 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.

methodsThe QPC-IP was translated and adapted to a Norwegian context using a translation back-translation process model. A total of 169 inpatients from specialised mental health services responded to the questionnaire. The QPC-IP comprises six dimensions: Encounter (eight items), Participation (eight items), Discharge (four items), Support (four items), Secluded Environment (three items), and Secure Environment (three items), totalling 30 items. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the instrument's factor structure. Additionally, Cronbach's alpha was used to establish the instrument's internal consistency.

resultsThe results indicated that the Norwegian adaptation of the QPC-IP possesses good psychometric properties, including internal consistency, content, and construct validity, as confirmed by the confirmatory factor analysis results. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated an adequate fit for the six-factor structure, consistent with the original Swedish instrument.

conclusionsThe QPC-IP is a user-friendly and easily implementable tool that assesses various dimensions of the quality of inpatient mental healthcare from a patient's perspective. Moreover, the Norwegian QPC-IP holds potential for use in comparative, cross-cultural studies within mental healthcare services to monitor the quality of the provided services.
