To cross-culturally adapt and determine the preliminary psychometric properties of the English version of the LwLTC Scale in people living with long-term conditions in the UK.
Cross-cultural adaptation and cross-sectional study.
Forty-nine patients with five long-term conditions were included in the pilot study. Patients completed the English version of the LwLTC Scale and a bespoke questionnaire related to the scale. Feasibility/acceptability, internal consistency and construct validity were analysed.
59.2% of participants were female, with an average age of 65.9 (SD = 12.30). Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged between 0.50 and 0.84. Content validity showed that the English version of the LwLTC Scale was useful even negative items were identified.
These preliminary psychometric properties are satisfactory and promising. Further psychometric analyses are needed to verify them in a larger and more representative sample size during the main validation study, which is now in process.
跨文化调适并确定英国长期慢性病患者英文版 LwLTC 量表的初步心理测量特性。
跨文化调适和横断面研究。
纳入了 49 名患有 5 种长期疾病的患者进行预试验研究。患者完成了英文版 LwLTC 量表和与量表相关的专用问卷。分析了可行性/可接受性、内部一致性和结构有效性。
59.2%的参与者为女性，平均年龄为 65.9（SD=12.30）。克朗巴赫 α 系数在 0.50 到 0.84 之间。内容有效性表明，英文版 LwLTC 量表是有用的，即使确定了负面项目。
这些初步心理测量特性是令人满意和有前途的。在主要验证研究中，需要在更大和更具代表性的样本量中进一步进行心理测量分析来验证这些特性。目前正在进行中。
