Abstract

Results: The majority of the item's responses showed high level of satisfaction. The coronach alpha of our study that examines the Arabic version of the CARE measurement tool 10 items was 0.96 showing an excellent internal consistency. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure was 0.96 indicating the adequacy of the data for factor analysis and the Bartlett test of sphericity shows (x²(45) = 8743.126, p < 0.001) indicating the adequacy of the correlation matrix for analysis.

Conclusion: The Arabic version of CARE Measure seems to be consistent and reliable in the primary health care setting.
