Asian J Psychiatr. 2023 Oct 18;90:103804. doi: 10.1016/j.ajp.2023.103804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIncorporating the experiences of patients with severe mental disorders (SMD) into clinical practice offers valuable insights for optimizing psychological care's effectiveness with more patient-centered and personalized interventions. The study aimed to develop a patient-reported experience measure regarding psychological care (PREMIUM-PSY) using adaptive testing and investigate its association with quality of life. In a multicenter study involving 443 patients with SMD, PREMIUM-PSY demonstrated both validity and efficiency (6-item average). Positive patient experiences were associated with enhanced mental and physical quality of life (β = 3.15[2.17;4.12], p < 0.001 and β = 1.18[0.04;2.32], p = 0.042), suggesting PREMIUM-PSY's potential for optimizing psychological care outcomes.PMID:37913651 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajp.2023.103804
