Background and Purpose An instrument that provides valid measurements of satisfaction with physical therapy care for Spanish-speaking patients will enhance communication and ensure their representation in quality assurance analyses and research on health care disparities. The purpose of this investigation was to provide preliminary information on the factor structure, group- and individual-level reliability, and criterion-referenced validity of measurements obtained from a Spanish-language version of the MedRisk Instrument for Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Physical Therapy Care (MRPS). Subjects A total of 203 Spanish-speaking patients in the New York City area participated in this study. Methods Consenting subjects completed a 20-item MRPS after discharge from outpatient physical therapy care. Several translators performed “forward” and “backward” translation of the MRPS, followed by consensus agreement on item structure. Factor structure was investigated using item-correlation and exploratory factor analysis. Group-level reliability for single test administration was assessed using the Cronbach alpha, and individual-level reliability was assessed by calculating the standard error of the measure (SEM). Concurrent validity was tested by comparing the item scores and mean scores of factors to global measures of satisfaction. Results The means of individual item scores (1–5) ranged from 3.22 for “I did not wait too long” to 4.80 for “My therapist treated me respectfully.” There were no sex-based differences in item scores. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a 2-factor solution: a 7-item “external” factor and a 3-item “internal” factor. The correlations (r) of the mean scores from these factors with the 2 global measures ranged from .59 to .82. The SEM was 0.16 for the internal factor and 0.25 for the external factor. Discussion and Conclusion The underlying factor structure of the Spanish-language version of the MRPS was identical to the English-language version. Our findings provide preliminary support for the reliability and validity of measurements obtained from the Spanish-language version of the MRPS. Further study is needed to assess the stability of these findings in other samples. As with English-speaking patients, Spanish-speaking patient's satisfaction with physical therapy care is most strongly linked to the professional behavior of the clinician.

Abstract The present study investigated the structure of the Spanish version of the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM-E), an 11-item measure that assesses individual differences in social comparison orientation (SCO), i.e., the extent to which people compare themselves with others. Data came from samples from Spain (n = 1,133) and Chile (n = 2,757). Confirmatory Factor Analyses and Mokken Scale Analyses supported in both samples not the assumed two-factor structure, but a single factor structure, consisting of eight items. The resulting eight-item version of the INCOM-E was reliable in both samples, according the Gutmann’s lambda–2 (.82 in Spain and .83 in Chile), and correlated very strongly with the full-length INCOM-E (.93 in Spain and .97 in Chile). In both samples, there were significant sex differences, ps < .001 with small effect sizes, ƞ2 in both samples = .01,but in the Spanish sample women scored higher, and in the Chilean sample men scored higher in SCO. The relationship with age was negative and significant (ps < .001) in both samples, albeit small (r = .22 in Spain and .13 in Chile) Based on the present research, it is advised to use the shortened eight-item version of the INCOM-E in Spanish speaking countries.

After successful clinimetric testing of the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS), a program for translation and validation of non-English versions of the UDysRS was initiated. The aim of this study was to validate and confirm the factor structure of the Slovak translation of the UDysRS. We examined 251 patients with Parkinson’s disease and dyskinesia using the Slovak version of the UDysRS. The average age of our sample was 65.2 ± 9.2 years and average disease duration was 10.9 ± 5.0 years. Slovak data were compared using confirmatory factor analysis with the Spanish data. To be designated as the official Slovak UDysRS translation, the comparative fit index (CFI) had to be≥0.90 relative to the Spanish language version. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to explore the underlying factor structure without the constraint of a prespecified factor structure. For all four parts of the Slovak UDysRS, the CFI, in comparison with the Spanish language factor structure, was≥0.98. Isolated differences in the factor structure of the Slovak UDysRS were identified by exploratory factor analysis compared with the Spanish version. The Slovak version of the UDysRS was designated as an official non-English translation and can be downloaded from the website of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Yogyakarta banyak memiliki potensi wisata baru, salah satunya adalah sentra pengrajin keris Banyumurup yang telah mengembangkan kerajinan tersebut sejak tahun 1950-an. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui potensi wisata yang dimiliki Dusun Banyumurup dan merancang strategi pengembangan desa wisata. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengetahui strategi pengembangan yaitu melalui analisis SWOT dengan cara menganalisis faktor-faktor eksternal (peluang dan ancaman) dan faktor-faktor internal (kekuatan dan kelemahan) dengan matriks EFAS dan IFAS. Matriks EFAS (External Factor Analysis Summary) digunakan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berupa peluang dan ancaman yang dihadapi. Matriks IFAS (Internal Factor Analysis Summary) digunakan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berupa kekuatan dan kelemahan yang dimiliki. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui total nilai tertimbang matriks IFAS pengunjung sebesar  2,5073 . Total nilai tertimbang EFAS pengunjung sebesar 2,221. Faktor internal yang dimiliki yaitu suasana khas pedesaan, melihat proses pembuatan keris, pemandangan alam yang indah, keramahan masyarakat, terdapat bangunan bersejarah. Sedangakan faktor eksternal yaitu melestarikan budaya Jawa, meyerap tenaga kerja, pemanfaatan teknologi untuk media promosi, kesan positif dari wisatawan yang pernah berkunjung, perluasan segmen wisatawan dari berbagai minat seperti fotografi, pendidikan atau penelitian.
