Abstract

This study provides evidence for reliability (the Cronbach [alpha] of .76-.94) and construct validity of the Patient-Family-Centered Care Survey developed by the researchers in collaboration with FKP Architects, used to measure and benchmark practice within pediatric institutions. The survey evaluates progress of integrating patient-family-centered care over time and can be triangulated with measurements of desired patient and institutional outcomes.
