Objective: The aim of the study was to validate the Turkish version of the
patient satisfaction questionnaire that evaluated satisfaction of patients
with chronic diseases regarding pharmacy services.
Methods: The present study was conducted between September 2015
and November 2015 among patients who had chronic diseases at least
for 6 months and applied to community pharmacies. After appropriate
language translation, pre-test, test–retest validity, and factor analysis were
conducted.
Results: The mean age of 154 patients (91 male, 63 female) was 58.6±13.8
years. The mean score of the Patient-Oriented Pharmacy Services Questionnaire
(PSPSQ) 2.0 was 3.29±0.47, and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient
was 0.944. A strong correlation was determined between the test–retest
validity of the total and subscale scores (p<0.001). Three domains (quality
of care, patient–pharmacist relationship, and overall satisfaction) were obtained
in factor analysis of PSPSQ 2.0, as in the original study.
Conclusion: In the present study, the Turkish form of PSPSQ 2.0 was determined
to be a reliable and valid scale to assess patients’ satisfaction regarding
patient-oriented pharmacy services.
