(1) longitudinal continuity (2)
(2) access (4)
(3) contextual knowledge (4)
(4) communication (4)
(5) comprehensiveness (5)
(6) coordination (4)
Responses
(1) longitudinal items (first group): 6 point Likert scale scored from 0 to 5
(2) other items: 5 point Likert scale scored from 0 to 4 (never, sometimes, often, almost always, always).
subscale score =
= SUM(points for subscale items answered)
total answered items =
= (number of items answered)
total score =
= SUM(points for all answered items) / ((4 * (number of nonlongitudinal
items answered)) + 10) * 100%
Interpretation:
• minimum points: 0
• maximum points: 94
• maximum total score: 100%
Performance:
• The P3C score was found to be reliable and valid measure of a parent's perception of primary health care quality.
• It correlates with the parent's report of the child's health-related quality of life.
• It is easy to administer.
