Reliability and validity of the Chinese version self-care of hypertension inventory
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Clinical Research - Year 2024, Vol 37, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version self-care of hypertension inventory (SC-HI) among Chinese hypertension patients. Methods SC-HI was translated into Chinese, and convenience sampling was used to select 226 patients who visited the Department of Cardiology of a level-A tertiary hospital in Beijing from August to October 2021, and the Chinese version SC-HI was used for investigation. Results In the Chinese version SC-HI, the item-level content validity index (I-CVI) ranged from 0.83 to 1.00,the scale-level content validity index universal agreement (S-CVI/UA) was 0.91, and scale-level content validity index/average(S-CVI/Ave) was 0.99. Six common factors were extracted, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 68.426%. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the total scale was 0.783, and the test-retest reliability was 0.851. Conclusion The reliability and validity of the Chinese version SC-HI has been proved to be satisfactory, and could be used among Chinese patients with hypertension.
