Testing a Swedish version of the Consumer Emergency Care Satisfaction Scale in an emergency department and 2 observation wards.
The aim was to investigate the construct validity and internal consistency of the Swedish version of the Consumer Emergency Care Satisfaction Scale. The sample comprised 157 persons from an emergency department and an observation ward. The results showed satisfactory reliability, and an explorative factor analysis revealed 3 factors: Caring, Teaching, and Clinical Competence. The Swedish version of the scale seems reliable and may be a useful tool for measuring satisfaction in different acute care settings.
