title: The Patient Satisfaction Interview for partial hospitalization programs.
abstract: The Patient Satisfaction Interview was developed to assess consumers' satisfaction with four dimensions of partial hospitalization programs: the physical environment, the therapists, the treatment strategies, and the preparation for community autonomy. Content validity of the measure was examined and cross-validated by independent samples of expert raters and patients. The measure was then administered to 30 patients participating in a six-month partial hospitalization program. Analyses showed test dimensions had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Six-month stability was good for three of the four scales as well as the over-all test score. Research using the test must examine its utility for description of satisfaction with community-based programs.
