This article focuses on four of the most frequently used projective assessment techniques in pediatric research: the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT); the Child Apperception Test (CAT); the Rorschach; and Human Figure Drawings (HFDs).
In this monograph, we review the current state of the literature concerning the psychometric properties (norms, reliability, validity, incremental validity, treatment utility) of three major projective instruments: Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and human figure drawings.

The QEQ-NH consists of several questionnaires for measuring the quality of care in nursing homes from different perspectives, including residents, family and professional caregivers as the main categories of respondents. The instrument has been developed in 2015–2017 by Vilans (the national Centre of Expertise for Long-term Care in the Netherlands)...
Data were collected with the QEQ-NH questionnaires between September 2017 and June 2018, at the start of a quality improvement program in six nursing homes across the Netherlands. All nursing homes provide care for vulnerable elderly, of which a substantial part suffers from dementia. The six participating nursing homes were all middle sized, with ...
Analysis of the data collected with the QEQ-NH questionnaires was performed with the statistical software of Stata 15 . Subsequently, scale analyses (i.e. factor and reliability analyses, correlations) and regression analyses were used to assess the construct and criterion validity of the three questionnaires. Item-analyses were performed to assess...
Item- and scale analyses were determined in order to select those questionnaire items that required further testing and optimization with cognitive interviews. These analyses respectively focused on item non-response (% missings), skewness and ceiling or floor effects (extreme distribution of answers), overlap (inter-item correlations), and the con...
Cognitive interviews were used to test and refine the problematic questionnaire items, in order to optimize the content validity of the QEQ-NH questionnaires. Cognitive interviewing is a valid and frequently-used technique in the development and testing of questionnaires . It can be used to assess the participants’ comprehension of questions and to...
The nursing homes gave their consent to use the anonymized data for our research purposes. All participants of the cognitive interviews provided a written informed consent, after they received written and verbal information about the cognitive testing. No ethical approval was necessary, as a non-encroaching study like this is not subject to the Dut...

This review aimed to (1) identify QoL instruments used in aged care and describe them in terms of QoL domains measured and logistical details; (2) summarise in which aged care settings the instruments have been used and (3) discuss factors to consider in deciding on the suitability of QoL instruments for use in aged care services.

Aug 17, 2021 · Both approaches are important, and there is considerable overlap from which each can learn. Failure to recognise the overlap can lead to replication of interventions, delay in the dissemination of effective interventions, and missed opportunities to work together to improve healthcare.
