Background: Internationally, person-centred practice is a recognized standard of quality care influencing the experience of care for healthcare professionals, service users, families and care-partners. To measure the experience from the perspectives of both caregivers and patients, the instruments the Person-centred Practice Inventory – Staff (PCPI-S) and the Person-centred Practice Inventory – Care (PCPI-C) have been developed. They are both theoretically aligned with McCormack and McCance’s person-centred framework. In this paper we present translation and cultural adaption of the questionnaires into Danish.Methods: A model including translation and cultural adaption of both the PCPI-S and the PCPI-C questionnaires were used. The translation and cultural adaption took place September 2021 to March 2022 and was conducted within the context of a Danish University Hospital.Results: Included in the translation and cultural adaption were six steps. Discrepancies were addressed and revised by the expert committee until consensus was reached on a reconciled version.Conclusion: As person-centred practice is a recognized standard of quality influencing the experience of care for healthcare professionals, service users, families and care-partners, it has been important to conduct the translation of the questionnaires PCPI-S, a measure of staff’s perception of person-centred practice and PCPI-C, a measure of patients’ perception of person-centred practice into Danish. Based on this, we now have a Danish instrument that may give the patients a voice by examining to what extent they experience person-centred care in our hospital. This will hopefully support learning and further development of a person-centred culture.
