Purpose of the Evaluation
To obtain first hand information about life in foster home from consumer’s perspective
To evaluate client satisfaction in foster homes
To eventually test the psychometric properties of new Foster Home Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (FHCSQ)
To use new questionnaire as part of on-going quality assurance

Planning the Evaluation 1998 process began Multidisciplinary team approached evaluator Goal was to collect useful information on life in
foster home from consumer’s perspective Committee – first 6 months
Literature review Review of research instruments (quality of life,
satisfaction) No specific client satisfaction questionnaire
We decided to develop our own questionnaire
![Page 6: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Process Used to Develop Questionnaire
Qualitative process used to generate items in questionnaire
We started from “ground up”
Stakeholders involved in process of developing client satisfaction questionnaire
Focus Groups
![Page 7: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Approach Participatory – goal was to involve
all those who had a stake in program
Great efforts taken to ensure that insights/concerns of stakeholders would be heard
Multiple perspectives- from consumers to professionals
Committee monitored process

Process: Focus Groups
8 focus groups conducted- July-September 1999 3 with consumers, 2 with families, 2
with foster home caregivers, & 1 with professionals
68 participants
![Page 9: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Process: Post Focus Group
Four overall dimensions emerged from focus groups: foster home environment characteristics of foster home
caregiver community integration stakeholder relationships
![Page 11: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

foster home?

Making the Evaluation Possible
Applications made to fund $ evaluation
2001- three year funding approved CIHR Stakeholder committee ended work
![Page 13: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Where We are Today New Foster Home Client
Satisfaction Questionnaire (FHCSQ) was validated by all professionals/foster home caregivers
Advisory Committee formed Administration phase:
June 2002-present day 85/150 sample recruited & completed
![Page 14: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Challenges for the Evaluator
After project funded: Loss of momentum Participatory process ended Less interest/commitment
Recruitment of consumers difficult 50% refusal rate
![Page 15: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Challenges for the Evaluator
Unexpected obstacles: Foster home caregivers blocking Consumers afraid to answer
questionnaire Ethical issues Unintended consequences of
evaluation Multi disciplinary team not
collaborating as much Lack of time/involvement in evaluation
![Page 16: Evaluating Client Satisfaction in Psychiatric Group Homes: A Participatory Stakeholder Approach Myra Piat, Ph.D. Douglas Hospital & McGill University 6875.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080902/5697c0231a28abf838cd4321/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In Summary: Participatory Process
Encouraged stakeholders to be involved
Key factor in making evaluation a reality
Crucial in development of new questionnaire
Reduction in stakeholder participation= increased obstacles to conduct evaluation
