construction factor structure and internal consistency reliability of the hospital physical therapy perceived satisfaction questionnaire h ptps
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020Co-Authors: Manuel Albornozcabello, Jose Manuel Perezmarmol, Ma De Los Angeles Carderoduran, Cristo J Barriosquinta, Luis EspejoantunezAbstract:Patient satisfaction is a crucial aspect in the evaluation of the quality of health care provided by health services and units, especially in patients that require physical rehabilitation. This study aims to design and analyze the factor structure and internal consistency reliability of the Hospital Physical Therapy Perceived Satisfaction Questionnaire (H-PTPS) measuring the level of physical therapy patient satisfaction in hospital rehabilitation services. This study has a multicenter cross-sectional survey design. This study used the structural validity and internal consistency domains from COSMIN (consensus-based standards for the selection of health status measurement instruments) guideline. The H-PTPS questionnaire consists of 20 closed questions. A sample of 384 adult patients from physical therapy units from three Spanish public hospitals completed this questionnaire. A factor structure and internal consistency reliability analysis were performed. The factor analysis including the 20 items of the H-PTPS showed an adequacy index of 0.922 according to the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure and the Barlett test allowed us to reject the null hypothesis (p < 0.001). In the rotated component matrix, four specific factors were obtained, explaining 66.75% of the accumulated variance. All factors present satisfactory internal reliability, achieving Cronbach’s alpha indices and Omega coefficients higher than 0.74. The H-PTPS questionnaire has shown a Four-Factor Solution with satisfactory reliability evaluating the satisfaction of Spanish patients treated in physical therapy units in the hospital rehabilitation services.

principal components analysis of obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms in children and adolescents
Biological Psychiatry, 2007Co-Authors: Evelyn S Stewart, Maria Conceicao Do Rosario, Liliya Katsovitch, Robert A King, Timothy A Brown, Daniel A Geller, Alice S. Carter, James F. Leckman, Denis G. Sukhodolsky, David L PaulsAbstract:Several adult studies have identified consistent symptom dimensions of OCD. The purpose of this study was to conduct an exploratory principal components analysis of obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms in children and adolescents with OCD to identify improved phenotypes for future studies. Methods: This study examined lifetime occurrence of OC symptoms included in the 13 symptom categories of the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and the Children’s Yale-Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). Principal components analysis with promax rotation was performed on 231 children and adolescents with OCD and compared with results of similar adult studies. Results: A Four-Factor Solution emerged explaining 59.8% of symptom variance characterized by 1) symmetry/ordering/repeating/ checking; 2) contamination/cleaning/aggressive/somatic; 3) hoarding; and 4) sexual/religious symptoms. All factors included core symptoms that have been consistently observed in adult studies of OCD. Conclusions: In children and adolescents, OCD is a multidimensional disorder. Symptom dimensions are predominantly congruent with those described in similar studies of adults with OCD, suggesting fairly consistent covariation of OCD symptoms through the developmental course. Future work is required to understand changes in specific symptom dimensions observed across the life span.

hierarchical structure and general factor saturation of the anxiety sensitivity index evidence and implications
Psychological Assessment, 1997Co-Authors: Richard E Zinbarg, David H Barlow, Timothy A BrownAbstract:Boston University The Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) is one of the most widely used measures of the construct of anxiety sensitivity. Until the recent introduction of a hierarchical model of the ASI by S. Lilienfeld, Turner, and Jacob (1993), the factor structure of the ASI was the subject of debate, with some researchers advocating a unidimensional structure and others proposing multidimensional structures. In the present study, involving 432 outpatients seeking treatment at an anxiety disorders clinic and 32 participants with no mental disorder, the authors tested a hierarchical factor model. The results supported a hierarchical factor structure consisting of 3 lower order factors and 1 higher order factor. It is estimated that the higher order, general factor accounts for 60% of the variance in ASI total scores. The implications of these findings for the conceptualization and assessment of anxiety sensitivity are discussed. Reiss and his colleagues (Reiss, 1987; Reiss & McNally, 1985; Reiss, Peterson, Gursky, & McNally, 1986) have defined the construct of anxiety sensitivity (AS) as fear of anxiety and physical sensations related to anxiety, and they hypothesize that this fear arises from beliefs that anxiety and related physical sensations have harmful somatic, psychological, or social conse- quences. AS and closely related constructs have played a central role in recent theorizing about the nature and etiology of the anxiety disorders in general and panic disorder in particular (e.g., Barlow, 1988, 1991; Clark, 1986; Goldstein & Chambless, 1978; McNally, 1990; Reiss, 1991; Reiss & McNally, 1985; Reiss et al., 1986).

Until recently, there has been considerable debate surrounding the issue of the factor structure of the ASI. On the one hand, Reiss et al. (1986) and several other researchers (e.g., Pe- terson & Heilbronner, 1987; Reiss, Peterson, & Gursky, 1988; Sandin, Chorot, & McNally, 1996; Stewart, Dubois-Nguyen, & Pihl, 1990; Taylor, Koch, & Crockett, 1991; Taylor, Koch, McNally, & Crockett, 1992) advocated a unidimensional struc- ture, whereas others (e.g,, Telch, Shermis, & Lewis, 1989; War- die, Ahmad, & Hayward, 1990) advocated a multidimensional structure including as many as four factors. The debate regarding the factor structure of the ASI appears to have been largely resolved by a hierarchical model proposed by Lilienfeld, Turner, and Jacob (1993). Their model is hierar- chical in that it contains several first-order factors that aU load on a single, higher order factor. Furthermore, it is capable of integrating many of the apparently discrepant findings in the literature by suggesting that those investigators who have advo- cated a multifactor Solution were focused on the lower level of the hierarchy, whereas those who have advocated a single-factor Solution were focused on the higher level. Indeed, the hierarchi- cal model appears to have been largely accepted by Taylor (1995a), who was formerly one of the main proponents of the unifactorial view. Given the relatively long history of hierarchi- cal models of intelligence, an analogy to the structure of intelli- gence may be useful. Within a hierarchical model of intelligence, the identification of separable lower order factors would not dispute the existence of a general intelligence factor. Fur exam- ple, at least two group factors (e.g., Verbal and Spatial) in addition to a general factor of intelligence are hypothesized in Vernon's (1969) model of intelligence. Similarly, Lilienfeld et al. suggested that there may be group factors (i.e., common to some but not all items) and a general factor (i.e., common to nearly all items) underlying the ASI. Although a hierarchical model has promise for resolving con- troversies in this area, appropriate tests of the hierarchical nature
