To evaluate the validity and reliability of the self-care behaviour scale for patients with left ventricular assist devices.
Methodological study.
The English version of the scale was translated into Korean, and it was then back-translated into English. Survey data were collected from 32 patients with left ventricular assist device in South Korea, and construct validity, content validity and reliability were analysed.
The original self-care behaviour scale comprises three domains and 33 items, whereas the Korean self-care behaviour scale comprises 27 items and five domains: device management, wound management, symptom monitoring, activated healthcare system and self-care management. Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale was 0.94, and that for the five domains ranged from 0.36 to 0.90. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the overall scale was 0.89, and the five domains ranged from 0.71 to 0.88.
The newly evaluated scale would be valid and reliable in measure self-care behaviour for patients with a left ventricular assist device.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Patients can manage the left ventricular assist device on their own based on evidence and use it as a tool for effective communication with medical professionals.
评估左心室辅助装置患者自我护理行为量表的效度和信度。
方法学研究。
量表的英文版本被翻译成韩语，然后再被回译为英文。在韩国，从 32 名左心室辅助装置患者中收集了调查数据，并对结构效度、内容效度和信度进行了分析。
原始的自我护理行为量表包括三个领域和 33 个项目，而韩国的自我护理行为量表包括 27 个项目和五个领域：装置管理、伤口管理、症状监测、激活医疗保健系统和自我护理管理。总体量表的克朗巴赫系数为 0.94，五个领域的克朗巴赫系数范围为 0.36 至 0.90。总体量表的组内相关系数为 0.89，五个领域的组内相关系数范围为 0.71 至 0.88。
新评估的量表在测量左心室辅助装置患者的自我护理行为方面具有有效性和可靠性。
专业意义和/或患者护理意义：患者可以根据证据自行管理左心室辅助装置，并将其用作与医疗专业人员进行有效沟通的工具。
