Patient-Reported Experience Measures for In- and Outpatients in Mental Health and Substance Use Services: Psychometric Properties and Results From a Nationwide Survey in Finland.
Article in International journal of methods in psychiatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesWe implemented the first national patient experience survey, with novel patient-reported experience measures (PREMs), in out- and inpatient mental health and substance use services in Finland.
methodsThe Outpatient Experience Scale (OPES) and the Inpatient Experience Scale (IPES) were co-designed with experts by experience and professionals. The survey was carried out in 2021 in 435 treatment facilities. We applied bi-factor analysis of ordinal indicators to prespecified and exploratory models.
resultsWe received 8794 outpatient and 1112 inpatient responses. Both the OPES and the IPES were essentially unidimensional, with high internal consistency (omega 0.98 in both) and strong factor loadings. The Net Promoter Score item was a fairly poor indicator of overall satisfaction. The most positive experiences were related to respect and acceptance, while statements related to receiving information and inclusion of significant others in the treatment process received more critical feedback. The best experience was in integrated mental health and substance use services. Involuntarily admitted patients had the most negative patient experiences.
conclusionsThe new PREMs proved to work well in measuring patient experience. Service users generally reported positive experiences. The primary service development need is sharing information with patients.
