Abstract

The aim of the paper is to compare two measurement models: IRT multilevel and SEM multilevel model of patients - physicians relationships. These relationships are nested in the institutional context of healthcare units. The Likert-type scale was developed and the nature of the constructs discussed. This scale was adopted on individual (patients) and well as institutional (units) level along with between variable that describes cluster specific characteristics. CTT and IRT multilevel random intercept models are discussed.
