Background Instruments specific to palliative care tend to measure care quality from relative perspectives or have insufficient theoretical foundation. The instrument Quality from the Patient’s Perspective (QPP) is based on a model for care quality derived from patients’ perceptions of care, although it has not been psychometrically evaluated for use in palliative care. The aim of this study was to adapt the QPP for use in palliative care contexts, and to describe patients’ perceptions of the care quality in terms of the subjective importance of the care aspects and the perceptions of the care received.
