Measures of family members' experiences of integrating chronic conditions (CC) or chronic illnesses (CI) into family life are needed to optimize family care. This article reports development and psychometric testing of the Family Integration Experience Scale: Chronic Illness (FIES:CI), a measure of family member perceptions of integrating CC or CI into evolving family life. Family Systems Nursing (FSN), the Reintegration Within Families in the Context of Chronic Illness Model, and measurement theory guided the study. Participants were those ( = 328) managing a CC or CI. Concurrent validity ( = +.629; < .001) and discriminant validity, (1, 155) = 7.09; < .05, were demonstrated. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-dimensional model explaining 63.8% variance. Scale internal reliability was α = .70 and .785, and factor reliabilities were α = .798 (Factor 1) and α = .847 (Factor 2). Test-retest item and subscale correlations, while accounting for intra-family correlation, were acceptable. The FIES:CI contributes a valuable new measure of family integration in the context of CC or CI with preliminary validity and reliability as tested in these samples.
需要衡量家庭成员将慢性病（CC）或慢性疾病（CI）融入家庭生活的体验，以优化家庭护理。本文报告了家庭整合体验量表：慢性疾病（FIES：CI）的开发和心理测量学测试，该量表衡量了家庭成员对将 CC 或 CI 融入不断发展的家庭生活的看法。家庭系统护理（FSN）、慢性疾病背景下的家庭再整合模型以及测量理论指导了这项研究。参与者是那些（=328）正在管理 CC 或 CI 的人。同时验证了效度（=+。629；<。001）和判别效度，（1,155）=7.09；<。05。探索性因素分析显示，一个二维模型可以解释 63.8%的方差。量表的内部信度为α=。70 和。785，因子信度为α=。798（因子 1）和α=。847（因子 2）。考虑到家庭内相关性，测试-重测项目和子量表的相关性是可以接受的。FIES：CI 在 CC 或 CI 背景下提供了一个有价值的家庭整合新指标，在这些样本中经过初步验证和可靠性测试。
