Abstract

Purpose: Engaging patients in their health care management journey has emerged as the requirement of the patient-centered care. Considering as an evidence-based measure, The Patient Health Engagement Scale was developed to evaluate patients’ emotional, behavioral, and cognitive competences during their care. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of PHE-s in Turkish patients with chronic diseases.

Materials and Methods: In this methodological study, one hundred and fourteen inpatients with chronic diseases were recruited in June 2018 in a university hospital. Content validity and reliability analysis were conducted. The original scale was translated into Turkish and back into English. 

Results: The Ordinal alpha was found 0.80, which refers to a good internal consistency. The Rasch analysis demonstrated that the scale is unidimensional. The inter-item polychoric correlation coefficient was equal to 0.61 and every factor loadings in the Categorical Principal Component Analysis were higher than 0.74. 

Conclusion: Taking into consideration, The Turkish version of the Patient Health Engagement Scale has good psychometric properties for evaluating the patient engagement phases and can be used by the Turkish-speaking community.

Hasta Katılımı Ölçeği: Kronik hastalığı olan hastalarda Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması

Abstract

Amaç: Hastaları sağlık bakım yönetimine dahil etmek, hasta merkezli bakımın bir gerekliliği olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Hasta Katılımı Ölçeği, hastaların bakımları süresince duygusal, davranışsal ve bilişsel yeterliliklerini değerlendirmek üzere geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kronik hastalığı olan bireylerde, Hasta Katılımı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerini belirlemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu metodolojik çalışma, bir üniversite hastanesinde yatmakta olan ve kronik hastalığa sahip 114 hasta ile, 2018 yılı haziran ayı içinde yürütülmüştür. Kapsam geçerliliği ve güvenirlik analizi sağlanmıştır. Orijinal ölçeğin Türkçe dil geçerliliği yapılmıştır. 

Bulgular: Ordinal alfa değeri 0.80 olarak hesaplanmıştır, bu değer iç tutarlılığın yüksek olduğunu işaret etmektedir. Rasch analizi, ölçeğin tek boyutlu olduğunu göstermektedir. Maddeler arası polikorik korelasyon katsayısı 0.61’dir ve Kategorik Temel Bileşen Analizi’ne göre her faktör yükü 0.74’ten yüksektir.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, Hasta Katılımı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe uyarlamasının hasta katılımı fazlarını değerlendirmede yeterli psikometrik özelliklere sahip olduğu söylenebilir.
