The Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale was developed to measure acceptance in chronic health conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS) and has been translated into Swedish (The Swedish Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate construct validity and test-retest reliability of the Swedish Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale in a sample of 138 people with MS. Predefined hypotheses about relationships between the Swedish Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale and other measures, and the scale's ability to differentiate between groups were explored. Evaluations of reliability and measurement error were performed for both Swedish Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale sum scores and individual items. Most (78%) a priori formulated construct validity hypotheses were confirmed. Reliability was considered good (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.80, and weighted kappa values ranging from 0.29 to 0.74). Measurement errors were acceptable (standard error of measurement 3.3 points, limits of agreement -7.5 and 10, and percentage agreement ranging from 42% to 58%). The findings give evidence of both satisfactory construct validity and test-retest reliability and indicate that the Swedish Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale can be considered for use in both research and clinical practice.
慢性健康状况接受量表是为测量多发性硬化症(MS)等慢性健康状况下的接受程度而开发的,并已被译为瑞典语(瑞典慢性健康状况接受量表)。本研究的目的是在 138 名 MS 患者样本中评估瑞典慢性健康状况接受量表的结构效度和重测信度。探讨了瑞典慢性健康状况接受量表与其他测量方法之间的关系以及该量表区分不同组别能力的假设,并对量表的总分和单项进行了可靠性和测量误差的评估。大多数(78%)预先设定的结构有效性假设得到了验证。可靠性被认为是良好的(组内相关系数=0.80,加权kappa 值范围为 0.29 至 0.74)。测量误差是可以接受的(测量误差 3.3 分,界限为-7.5 至 10,百分比一致范围为 42%至 58%)。这些发现证明了该量表具有良好的结构效度和重测信度,表明瑞典慢性健康状况接受量表可用于研究和临床实践。
