Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the content validity including item reduction, construct validity and internal consistency of the existing 16-item Knee Osteoarthritis Patient Education Questionnaire. Former research had indicated that a reduction of items was necessary. Participants were patients with severe knee osteoarthritis who, prior to undergoing a knee replacement operation, participated routinely in a preoperative educational intervention. Methods: A mixed method design was used. The first step was directed at the reduction in the number of items on the 16-item Knee Osteoarthritis Patient Education Questionnaire. Based on a priori hypotheses, this was followed by a cross-sectional validation study, performed to compare the resulting 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire to a patient-testing Interview Protocol that was tailored to the same patient educational material. Additionally, the revised questionnaire was correlated with both the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy and the Mini-Mental State Examination score. Results: A relatively high internal consistency was found for the 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84 (SE: 0.036). Explanatory factor analysis showed no evidence against a one-factor model, with the first and second eigenvalues being 3.8 and 0.31, respectively. Bayesian Estimation of the correlation between the 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire and the Interview Protocol was 0.78 (mode) (95% HPD 0.58 – 0.89).Conclusions: The 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire shows good psychometric properties and could provide valuable support to health professionals. It can provide valid feedback on how patients waiting for a knee replacement operation experience an applied patient education intervention. Further investigation is needed to assess the applicability of the 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire to larger samples in different hospitals and countries.

Abstract Background: Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate aspects of construct validity, as part of the ongoing developmental process of the Knee Osteoarthritis Patient Education Questionnaire (KOPEQ 2). The subjects were patients with severe knee osteoarthritis who participated routinely in a preoperative educational intervention prior to undergoing a knee replacement operation. Construct validity was compared to an alternative measure with a comparable construct. The design used was a mixed method approach. Methods: The first step was to reduce the number of items on the first version of the KOPEQ. This was followed by a cross-sectional validation study to compare the revised KOPEQ 2 to a patient-testing protocol GOLD (interview-based), which was tailored to the same patient educational material. The KOPEQ was also correlated with the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy and the Mini-Mental State Examination score, based on a priori hypotheses. Results: Following item reduction, a relatively high internal consistency for the revised 7-item KOPEQ 2 was found, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84 (SE: 0.036). Explanatory factor analysis showed no evidence against a one-factor model (with the first and second eigenvalue being 3.8 and 0.31, respectively). Bayesian Estimation of the correlation between KOPEQ 2 and GOLD was 0.78 (mode) (95% HPD 0.58 – 0.89). Conclusions: The KOPEQ 2 shows good psychometric properties and can provide support to health professionals by giving valid feedback on how patients experienced the applied patient education intervention while waiting for a knee replacement operation. Further studies are needed to assess the applicability of the KOPEQ 2 outside the fields of knee osteoarthritis and knee replacement.

Bayesian Estimation of the correlation between the 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire and the Interview Protocol was 0.78 (mode) (95% HPD 0.58 – 0.89). Conclusions: To more accurately reflect the content of the included items following validation, the title of the questionnaire was changed to 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire. It shows good psychometric properties and could provide valuable support to health professionals. It can provide valid feedback on how patients waiting for a knee replacement operation experience an applied patient education intervention. Further investigation is needed to assess the applicability of the 7-item Knee Replacement Patient Education Questionnaire to larger samples in different hospitals and countries.
