ABSTRACT Patient participation is an important topic in mental health and receives increased attention along with deinstitutionalization. No tool exists to measure healthcare worker‐related factors that influence patient participation. A three‐staged study was conducted to develop and validate the ‘Patient Participation Culture Tool for inpatient PSYchiatric wards’ (PaCT‐PSY), and to analyse its psychometric properties (n = 603). The 60‐items tool, comprising thirteen components, showed content validity, strong psychometric properties, and a high internal consistency. The PaCT‐PSY measures the patient participation culture on psychiatric wards by exploring healthcare worker's factors influencing patient participation. It enables researchers, practitioners and administrators to develop tailored actions.
