Patient Health Engagement Scale: Validity and reliability for Turkish patients with chronic diseases
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.
