This study aimed to translate and adapt the "Haemodialysis Distress Thermometer Scale" (HDDT) into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability.
This study collected data from 223 haemodialysis patients across three public hospitals in Kütahya province, Türkiye, over a seven-week period.
In this study, the content validity index of the scale was determined to be 0.96. Validity analysis results indicated that factor loadings ranged between 0.45 and 0.82, the total variance explained was 59.25%, and the fit indices were X/df = 1.149 and RMSEA = 0.026. Reliability analysis showed that the total Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.80, with item-total correlation coefficients ranging from 0.37 to 0.73. The cut-off score for the HDDT barometer was identified as 6.5. The final structure of the HDDT scale comprised 40 items, four factors, and an 11-point barometer, consistent with the original scale.
The Turkish version of the HDDT is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing distress in patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment. It may serve as a valuable tool for nurses in identifying and addressing patient distress during haemodialysis care.
本研究旨在将“血液透析痛苦温度计量表”（HDDT）翻译成土耳其语并进行改编，同时评估其有效性和可靠性。
本研究在土耳其屈塔希亚省的三家公立医院，对223名血液透析患者进行了为期七周的数据收集。
在本研究中，该量表的内容效度指数确定为0.96。效度分析结果表明，因子载荷在0.45至0.82之间，解释的总方差为59.25%，拟合指数为X/df = 1.149，RMSEA = 0.026。信度分析显示，Cronbach's α系数总值为0.80，项目与总分相关系数在0.37至0.73之间。HDDT晴雨表的临界分数确定为6.5。HDDT量表的最终结构包括40个项目、四个因子和一个11点晴雨表，与原量表一致。
HDDT土耳其语版本是评估血液透析治疗患者痛苦的有效且可靠的工具。它可能成为护士在血液透析护理过程中识别和解决患者痛苦的宝贵工具。
