“…The resulting ROC for total subjects, male, female, young, and old shows a similar image with AUC values and they are all above 0.90. This AUC value is even higher than previous studies in China, India, Vietnam, and Afghanistan which only had an AUC of around 0.80, even though it uses different reference instruments such as the Clinical Interview Schedule Revised (CIS-R), Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) [13][14][15][16]. Research using the same questionnaire such as SRQ and MINI was conducted in South Africa with an emergency department setting, the results also showed the AUC value of around 0.80 [17].…”

Background: Adequate data is required to assess the validity of mental emotional disorder for depression based on Indonesia Basic Health Research. The purpose of this study is to assess the validity of mental-emotional disorder using Self Reporting Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) to the depression evaluated through the means of a MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview) questionnaire. Methods: The data were obtained from a total sample of 555,066 subjects analyzed from the National Health Survey (NHS) in 2018. These subjects were at least 15 years old with their mental-emotional disorders and depression assessed by using the SRQ and MINI, respectively. This study used the calculation of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, positive and negative likelihood ratio, ROC (receiver operating characteristic), kappa Brennan, and Prediger with the STATA statistical program version 15.00 to analyzed the data. Results: The cut-off point in each group was different, ranging from 4 and 6 that almost all of the Area Under Curve (AUC) values were above 0.90 and the SRQ agreement with MINI depression are good because they all have values above 0.80. Conclusion: The results obtained are used as material to predict the rate of depression in Indonesian residents aged ≥ 15 years.

“…The ARMS is a widely used self-report questionnaire that has been used to assess medication adherence among diverse patient populations, particularly among older adults [26]. Additionally, it has been validated and culturally adapted to different languages, which makes it an attractive, easy to administer, free of charge, and reliable medication adherence scale [27][28][29][30]. However, the absence of a validated Arabic version of ARMS or other widely used and valid medication adherence scales that can be administered free of charge makes it hard to assess adherence to prescription medications among the Arabic-speaking patient population [15,17,21].…”

“…The ARMS can range from 12 to 48 with higher scores indicating poor adherence [26]. This scale has been validated among different patient populations with various chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension, and was translated to different languages [28][29][30]. Moreover, a score of ≥16 was used as a cut-off point to categorize surveyed patients into non-adherent (e.g., ≥16) and adherent (e.g., <16) [30].…”

“…The Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) is a 12-item widely used medication adherence assessment tool with proven reliability and validity among Englishspeaking patient population [26]. The scale was translated and validated in Turkish [27], Korean [28], Chinese [29] and Polish languages [30], among patients with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension. However, this scale has not been validated among Arabic-speaking patients.…”

Validation of an Arabic Version of the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS)

Background: Medication non-adherence is a complex multifactorial phenomenon impacting patients with various health conditions worldwide. Therefore, its detection can improve patient outcomes and minimize the risk of adverse consequences. Even though multiple self-reported medication adherence assessment scales are available, very few of them exist in Arabic language. Therefore, the aim of this study was to validate a newly translated Arabic version of the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) among patients with chronic health conditions. Methods: This is a single-center cross-sectional study that was conducted between October 10th 2018 and March 23rd 2021. ARMS was first translated to Arabic using the forward-backward translation method. The translated scale was then piloted among 21 patients with chronic health conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, etc.…) to examine its reliability and comprehensibility using the test-retest method. Thereafter, the Arabic-translated ARMS was self-administered to adult patients aged ≥18 years with chronic health conditions visiting the primary care clinics of a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Construct validity was examined using factor analysis with varimax rotation. Results: Of the 264 patients who were invited to participate, 202 (76.5%) consented and completed the questionnaire. Most of the participants were males (69.9%), married (75.2%), having a college degree or higher (50.9%), retired or unemployed (65.2%), aged ≥ 50 years (65.2%), and are diabetic (95.9%). The 12-item Arabic-translated ARMS mean score was 17.93 ± 4.90, and the scale yielded good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.802) and test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.97). Two factors were extracted explaining 100% of the of the total variance (factor 1 = 52.94% and factor 2 = 47.06%). Conclusions: The 12-item Arabic version of ARMS demonstrated good validity and reliability. Therefore, it should help in the detection of medication non-adherence among Arabic-speaking patient population and minimize the risk of adverse consequences.

“…Currently, there are limited scales that aim to provide reasons for non-adherence to blood pressure medications in the Chinese population. Although several Chinese versions were used in measuring adherence to medication in patients with epilepsy, myocardial infarction, and high blood pressure, these are limited in recognizing the potential reasons for non-adherent behaviors in patients [ 5 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Therefore, to develop a new adherence scale that is adapted to cultural and healthcare system differences is in demand.…”

Medication non-adherence is a concern in chronic disease management. Currently, there is no scale that characterizes sufficient non-adherent reasons for practical use in the Chinese population. This study developed and validated the Chinese version of the Medication Adherence Reasons Scale (ChMAR-Scale) and described non-adherence reasons in adult patients taking blood pressure medicine in Taiwan. A forward–backward procedure was used to translate the original MAR-Scale, and new items pertinent to cultural differences were added. Patients aged above 20 years old who were taking blood pressure medicine were recruited from a regional hospital and eight community pharmacies in the Taipei metropolitan area. Data analyses were conducted with IBM SPSS 19 (Armonk, NY, USA). Exploratory factor analysis revealed six domains, including belief, self-perception, forgetfulness, management, availability, and miscellaneous issues, with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.649 to 0.852, item-total correlations ranging from 0.362 to 0.719, and factor loadings ranging from 0.365 to 0.775. Criterion-related validity with the visual analog scale and two global items were 0.525, 0.436, and 0.502. Forgetfulness, belief issues, and self-perception issues were the most common non-adherence reasons. In conclusion, the ChMAR-Scale showed good psychometric properties and identified more reasons for medication non-adherence than other existing scales. Healthcare providers should be vigilant of these problems while consulting patients.
