| Abstrakt: | Background: Self-care is essential in patients with heart failure (HF). Objective: Our objective was to test psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Self-care of Heart Failure Index version 7.2 (SCHFI v7.2-C). Methods: The English version of SCHFI v7.2 was translated into Chinese using the modified Brislin translation model. Psychometric tests of the SCHFI v7.2-C were performed in 320 Chinese patients with HF. Content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, concurrent validity, discriminant validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliabilitywere examined to determine validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Validity and reliability were assessed for the self-care maintenance, symptom perception, and self-care management scales. SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.3 were used for data analysis. Results:Mean (SD) age of the samplewas 61.2 (14.20) years. Scale content validity index ranged from0.93 to 0.97 across the 3 scales. Results of confirmatory factor analysis supported structural validity of the 3 scales. Self-carewas significantly associated with quality of life, and those with more HF experience had significantly better self-care than those with less experience, supporting construct validity. The SCHFI v7.2-C was associated with the 12-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior Scale. Cronbach α coefficients for the self-caremaintenance, symptom perception, and self-care management scales were 0.79, 0.89, and 0.77, respectively; their test-retest reliability was 0.76, 0.78, and 0.75, respectively. Conclusion: The SCHFI v7.2-C is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used in Chinese patients with HF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
