Results: The Thai Psychiatric Satisfaction Scale (TPSS) contains seven domains: Professionals ' Skills and Behavior, Information, Access, Efficacy, Type of Intervention, Relative's Involvement, and Environment and Setting. The ∝ coefficient for the TPSS was 0.97 (95%CI 0.94-0.97) and ranged from 0.70(95%CI 0.68-0.76) to 0.96 (95%CI 0.94-0.9 7). Test-retest for TPSS was 0.82. (95%CI 0.78-0.85).
