Person-centered care is an important issue globally. One way to stimulate person centeredness is by integrating a preference-based approach. This project creates a German version of the Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory (PELI) by: 1) following ISPOR Task Force recommendations for culturally sensitive translation, and 2) testing the instrument for reliability and feasibility in three different care settings. During the translation process, central considerations are: different care systems and structures, specific wording, phrases, lack of corresponding words, limited comprehensibility, grammatical issues and unfamiliarity with the content meaning of the item.
