Indices 35-item version are satisfactory but showed that model left room improvement shortening (RMSEA >0.06 CFI < 0.95). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed good indices fit with 24-item PCC-instrument professionals. Internal consistency overall also good. psychometric properties satisfactory, rendering it valid reliable assessing PWIDs.
