They are able to make decisions and identify their care priorities, in a process called advanced care planning. So, an instrument is required for investigating ACP of the elderly population. This study was performed to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the advanced care planning questionnaire(ACPQ) in elderly population referring to Tehran.
Method: This methodological study was performed in five hospitals in 2021-2022. A total of 390 eligible elderlies were included. The psychometric assessment including translation, face validity, content validity were performed Alsothe exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were assessed. Reliability were done by internal consistency by assessing Cronbach alpha and stability was performed using test-retest.
Results: The face validity of the instrument was performed with minor changes. The content validity index for all of the items was above 0.79. In EFA four factors was extracted also CFA showed that the four-factor model has a good fit of the data (RMSEA: 0.04; NFI: 0.97 CFI: 0.99; IFI: 0.99; RFI: 0.96; AGFI: 0.87; GFI 0/90; standardized RMR: 0.02). Cronbach alpha and ICC were 0.72-0.94 and 0.85-0.96, respectively.
Conclusion: The Persian version of the advance care planning questionnaire has desirable psychometric properties for measuring the advanced care planning of the elderly population. In addition, healthcare providers in Iran can employ this questionnaire in their practice and research.
