Objective. To develop and assess the validity and reliability of an adherence scale concerning medical treatment in paediatric FMF patients. Methods. The Medication Adherence Scale in FMF Patients (MASIF) is a 18-item questionnaire that evaluates adherence to medication in four domains. Validation of the instrument was accomplished in paediatric FMF patients (aged 2-18 years) under medication at least for 6 months. The first step was to build up the scale through qualitative approach (with interviews using semi-structured questions). Validation analyses included assessment of feasibility, face and content validity; construct validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results. One hundred and fifty patients with FMF were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the patients was 11.11 +/- 4.02 years and 48.7% of them were male. The MASIF was found to be feasible and valid for both face and content. It correlated with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale as a gold standard thereby demonstrating good construct validity (r=0.5 15, p |
