To develop and assess the psychometrics of the Chronic Headache Self-Efficacy Scale (CHASE).
Existing scales assess self-efficacy in coping strategies and management of symptoms and triggers but do not measure other important self-efficacy domains, such as performing daily activities and socializing in patients with chronic daily headache (CDH).
The study had two phases: (i) Development of the 14-item CHASE, with items derived from patients with CDH and a multidisciplinary healthcare team; (ii) longitudinal observational study for psychometric evaluation. Participants with CDH (N = 79) completed the CHASE, Headache Management Self-Efficacy Scale (HMSE), six-item Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), and 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) at baseline, 24-72 h after baseline, and 12 weeks after baseline. The Global Rating of Change (GROC) assessed perceived change in symptoms. We assessed internal consistency, day-to-day reliability, convergent and known group discriminant validity, dimensionality, and responsiveness via minimal clinical important difference (MCID).
For day-to-day reliability, the CHASE intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.68 (95% confidence interval 0.49-0.81), with standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change of 10.3% and 24%, respectively. The CHASE had two independent factors (total R = 54.5%) that can be combined into a single score (Cronbach's alpha internal consistency 0.88). For convergent validity, the CHASE score was related to the HIT-6, HMSE, and SF-12 (R: 0.17-0.29, all p < 0.001). For known group discriminant validity, individuals with an active headache had a lower CHASE score than those without (mean [standard deviation] 47.7 [17.3]% vs. 57.2 [19.8]%, p < 0.001). Classification and regression tree analysis showed the MCID for meaningful positive symptom change on the GROC was a CHASE change of >8% or CHASE change of 8% with baseline CHASE >67%.
The CHASE is a reliable and valid questionnaire for assessing self-efficacy in performing daily activities, socializing, managing headache symptoms and triggers, and guiding treatment plans for patients with CDH.
开发并评估慢性头痛自我效能量表(CHASE)的心理测量学特性。
现有的量表评估应对策略以及症状和诱发因素管理方面的自我效能,但未测量其他重要的自我效能领域,如慢性每日头痛(CDH)患者的日常活动执行情况和社交能力。
该研究分为两个阶段:(i)开发包含14个条目的CHASE,条目源自CDH患者和多学科医疗团队;(ii)进行心理测量学评估的纵向观察性研究。CDH患者(N = 79)在基线、基线后24 - 72小时以及基线后12周完成CHASE、头痛管理自我效能量表(HMSE)、6条目头痛影响测试-6(HIT-6)和12条目简短健康调查问卷(SF-12)。总体变化评分(GROC)评估症状的感知变化。我们通过最小临床重要差异(MCID)评估内部一致性、每日可靠性、收敛效度和已知组判别效度、维度以及反应性。
对于每日可靠性,CHASE组内相关系数为0.68(95%置信区间0.49 - 0.81),测量标准误差和最小可检测变化分别为10.3%和24%。CHASE有两个独立因素(总R = 54.5%),可合并为一个分数(Cronbach's alpha内部一致性为0.88)。对于收敛效度,CHASE评分与HIT-6、HMSE和SF-12相关(R:0.17 - 0.29,均p < 0.001)。对于已知组判别效度,有活动性头痛的个体CHASE评分低于无头痛个体(均值[标准差]47.7[17.3]%对57.2[19.8]%,p < 0.001)。分类与回归树分析显示,GROC上有意义的积极症状变化的MCID为CHASE变化>8%或基线CHASE>67%时CHASE变化8%。
CHASE是一个可靠且有效的问卷,用于评估CDH患者在日常活动执行情况、社交、头痛症状和诱发因素管理方面的自我效能,并指导治疗计划。
