What this trial studies

The project will translate, culturally adapt, and validate the 41-item Fundamentals of Care patient-reported questionnaire for use in Danish hospitals following an eight-phase guideline (forward translation, synthesis, back translation, harmonization, pre-testing, field testing, psychometric validation, and analysis of psychometric properties). The questionnaire measures the nurse–patient relationship, patients' basic care needs (physical, relational, psychosocial), and the context of care and is self-administered by patients. Pre-testing was done with 30 hospital patients and 8 nurses in an infection medicine ward, and field testing will recruit about 205 hospitalized patients for psychometric validation. The validation will analyze reliability, factor structure, and other measurement properties to determine whether the tool performs as intended in the Danish healthcare setting.
