<p>Objective: This study was conducted to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess client satisfaction with an Independent Medical Examination (IME). Design: The questionnaire (IMESQ) was developed as a short assessment of six items covering six domains relevant to an IME. The sample was tested for internal consistency reliability. Construct validity of the questionnaire was via a parallel measurement analysis. Participants: Data were collected from 76 adult respondents (male = 44.7 %); mean age (42.9 Â± 13.3 years). Results: The questionnaire had good correlation of paired items (range r= 0.55 to 0.80, M = 0.65). The Cronbachâ€™s Î± value of the questionnaire was â€¢91and the spit-halves reliability was .90 suggesting good internal consistency. There was strong correlation (rs =.82) with a numerical satisfaction scale (NSS). Compared with a Surrogate score calculated from the NSS, the intrarater reliability was high (ICC .75). A Bland-Altman analysis identified 14 Outliers who underrated or overrated the responses to the questionnaire.</p>
