Reliability and Validity Studies of Turkish Versions of Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale and Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire
Abstract
This study aimed to perform the transcultural adaptation of the “Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale” and the “Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire” to Turkish language and analyze their validity and reliability.This is a methodological study conducted with 105 patients. The data were collected using a “Descriptive Characteristics Form”, the “Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale”, and the “Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire. The patients with chronic spinal cord injury who completed a survey form that included these scales. The content validity index of both scales was between 0.80 and 1. The Cronbach’s alpha of the Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale was 0.73 (re-test, 0.93), and the Cronbach’s alpha of the Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire was 0.82 (re-test, 0.92) for the frequency subscale and 0.80 (re-test, 0.91) for the intensity subscale. It was determined that the Turkish version of the Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale consisted of one dimension, as in its original structure. In the CFA model of the Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale, RMSEA value was 0.08; SRMR value was 0.09; x2/df value was 1.60; CFI value was 0.98; TLI value was 0.96. The Turkish versions of the “Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale” and the “Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire” were successfully culturally adapted to the Turkish language and seemed valid and reliable to be used in further studies.
