To translate the Medication Adherence Scale (MAS) into Chinese and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of MAS (C-MAS).
The study used a cross-sectional design. The performance of C-MAS was assessed among 170 older patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The psychometric properties of C-MAS, including content validity, factor structure, hypothesized validity, and internal consistency, were tested.
The content validity index of the C-MAS was 0.90. Three factors were identified using the principal component analysis. The Cronbach's α was 0.868 for the total scale and ranged from 0.703 to 0.941 for the three subscales of C-MAS. In addition, the construct validity of the C-MAS was confirmed to test the hypothesis.
The three-factor C-MAS has good validity and internal consistency in older Chinese patients with CHD. The C-MAS can be used to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and barriers related to medication adherence among this population.
将 Medication Adherence Scale(MAS)译为中文,并评估 MAS 中文版本(C-MAS)的心理测量学特性。
本研究采用横断面设计。在 170 名老年冠心病(CHD)患者中评估 C-MAS 的性能。测试了 C-MAS 的心理测量学特性,包括内容效度、因子结构、假设有效性和内部一致性。
C-MAS 的内容效度指数为 0.90。使用主成分分析确定了三个因素。总量表的克朗巴赫 α 为 0.868,C-MAS 的三个分量表的范围为 0.703 至 0.941。此外,通过假设检验验证了 C-MAS 的结构效度。
三因素 C-MAS 在老年 CHD 患者中具有良好的效度和内部一致性。C-MAS 可用于评估该人群与药物依从性相关的知识、态度和障碍。
