| Popis: | Background and Purpose: Self-care is a central goal of home health (HH) nursing care. The study purpose was to assess psychometric performance of the Therapeutic Self-Care Scale (TSCS) in a U.S. HH population. Methods: TSCS reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest analyses (n= 59). Convergent validity testing and principal components analysis (PCA) were performed. Results: After elimination of 2 items, internal consistency reliability was acceptable (α = .804) and test–retest reliability was high (intraclass correlation = .94;p< .001). Convergent validity analyses were inconclusive. PCA found 2 underlying dimensions consistent with a conceptual difference between self-care and self-management. Conclusions: A valid, reliable measure of self-care/management would be useful for measurement of HH nursing outcomes. The TSCS holds promise but needs further refinement before it can serve this purpose. |
