Psychometric evaluation of a new instrument to measure disease self‐management of the early stage chronic kidney disease patients

Abstract

The CKD-SM instrument is useful for clinicians who wish to identify the problems with self-management among chronic kidney disease patients early. Self-management assessment will be helpful to develop intervention tailored to the needs of the chronic kidney disease population.

Self-Management Program for People with Chronic Kidney Disease in Vietnam: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial

“…Chronic kidney disease self-management has a substantial number of daily tasks that a person needs to perform to manage the impact of the disease and to slow its progression (Curtin, Mapes, & Thomas-Hawkins, 2001;Lin, Wu, Wu, Chen, & Chang, 2012;Ong, Jassal, Porter, Logan, & Miller, 2013). The following sections review the previously described skills in the context of the CKD self-management.…”

“…In addition, Lin et al (2012) and Ong et al (2013) have indicated other components also needed in self-management in people with CKD. Lin et al (2012) used Lorig and Holman (2003) components of self-integration, problem solving, social support, and taking action.…”

“…Problem-solving in CKD self-management is the ability to seek a variety of resources and actively learn knowledge of CKD in order to manage their kidney disease (Lin et al, 2012). Several CKD self-management studies have used problem-solving skills to assist patients (Blakeman et al, 2014;Joboshi & Oka, 2016;Lin et al, 2013;Teng, Yen, Fetzer, Sung, & Hung, 2013;Williams et al, 2012).…”

“…Lin et al (2012) used Lorig and Holman (2003) components of self-integration, problem solving, social support, and taking action. Ong et al (2013) described the components as food management, BP management, blood results management, and medication management.…”

“…Self-integration in CKD self-management reflects a person's ability to integrate treatment regimens and daily activities to manage their disease (Lin et al, 2012). Previous studies of CKD self-management integration have examined nutrition (i.e., label reading, identification of food containing salt or protein) (Campbell, Ash, & Bauer, 2008;Chen et al, 2011;Kazawa & Moriyama, 2013), lifestyle modifications (Chen et al, 2011;Joboshi & Oka, 2016;Kazawa & Moriyama, 2013), self-monitoring (Kazawa & Moriyama, 2013;Lin et al, 2013), and making efforts to adjust to living with CKD (Blakeman et al, 2014).…”
