“…Once the multivariate normality was confirmed, we tested the factorial validity with maximum likelihood estimation. The model of the factor proposed is deemed valid when all items show a factorial load higher than 0.4 [ 44 , 47 , 48 ]. The construct’s validity was calculated through convergent validity (using the average variance extracted (AVE) for each factor and considering 0.50 as the minimum value) and the discriminant validity, confirmed by evidence that the AVE for each pair of factors is equal to or greater than the square of the correlation between them.…”

Studies related to the work environment in primary health care are scarce in the literature. The present study aimed to validate the psychometric properties of the Practice Environment Scale of Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) in primary health care (PHC) and to evaluate its construct validity through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in a sample of Portuguese nurses. A quantitative, cross-sectional, and validation study design was implemented. Methods: The sample consisted of 1059 nurses from the PHC units of all 55 health center groups (HCGs) in mainland Portugal, 15 health centers in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, and 6 health centers in the Autonomous Region of the Azores. The study tested different structural models using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis techniques. The reliability of the scale was tested by determining Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results: The internal consistency of the PES-NWI was 0.91. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed on the PES-NWI model in PHC with five factors: NPOA, NFQC, NMALSN, SRA, and CNPR. The results show that the scale presents acceptable fit quality indexes in the final factorial solution and adequate convergent validity. Conclusion: The PES-NWI in PHC has an adequate, robust, and reliable five-factor structure. The scale is valid and can be used in clinical practice, nursing management, and PHC research.

“…In this study, factor analysis identified the same number of factors identified in the original scale, however the distribution of items under the factors did not match that of the original scale. Additionally, the loadings of item number 3 and item number 9 are below cutoff point of >0.4 needed for any item to be attributed to a factor [49]. This is expected since the psychometric analyses of different validated versions of ARMS revealed different percentages of variance explained by these two factors [27][28][29].…”

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

et al. 2021

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.

“…We selected the number of factors per dataset based on an examination of the statistical outputs. The factor solution was expected to provide a comprehensive picture of the data, with a coherent interpretation of each factor, which was required to have at least three defining and unique participants to validate the established pattern within the factor (Cutillo, 2018;Thurstone, 1947).…”
