The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Treatment Satisfaction - Patient Satisfaction (FACIT-TS-PS) is a measure for assessing the quality of care and satisfaction in chronically ill patients. Validity of the multi-dimensional structure and reliability of the FACIT-TS-PS were investigated in a sample of 431 chronically ill patients, using Confirmative Factor Analysis (CFA) and CUB models. Integrated use of CUB models and CFA resulted in a satisfactory structure, leading to confirmation of the original, reliable, seven-factor structure, even with a reduction in items from 25 to 15. The FACIT-TS-PS appears to be a practical instrument that is reliable and has good construct validity.

Abstract
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Treatment Satisfaction - Patient Satisfaction (FACIT-TS-PS) is a measure for assessing the quality of care and satisfaction in chronically ill patients. Validity of the multi-dimensional structure and reliability of the FACIT-TS-PS were investigated in a sample of 431 chronically ill patients, using Confirmative Factor Analysis (CFA) and CUB models. Integrated use of CUB models and CFA resulted in a satisfactory structure, leading to confirmation of the original, reliable, seven-factor structure, even with a reduction in items from 25 to 15. The FACIT-TS-PS appears to be a practical instrument that is reliable and has good construct validity.
