“…The possible scores run from 15 to 75; the closer to 75, the higher the operational self-care capacity exhibited by the individual. (6) We believe that the use of the ASAS-R in Brazil will contribute towards nursing clinical practice and research on health care, especially regarding DM patients.…”

“…It is also based on operational traits, or the patient's capacity for organizing personal and environmental resources significant for their self-care. (4,6) The scale does not mention the dimensions and does not aim at verifying whether capacity for selfcare is developed, but rather whether it is in operation. The instrument provides a global and nonspecific measurement, and can be applied to groups of different ages and health conditions.…”

“…However, patients must also display the ability to commit to/engage in self-care activities. (4)(5)(6) Self-care agency or power is a complex ability which is acquired and developed throughout one's daily life. It enables a person to discern factors which must be controlled and treated, decide what can and must be done, recognize needs, assess personal and environmental resources, and determine, commit to and carry out self-care actions.…”

Objective: Translate, adapt and validate the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale-Revised (ASAS-R) for Brazil. Methods: A descriptive method for adapting measurement instruments was used with 150 diabetes mellitus patients. The instrument underwent translation, synthesis of independent translations, evaluation by a committee of judges, back-translation and submittal of back-translation to original authors, semantic validation, submittal of the adapted version to original authors, and pretesting. Results: The ASAS-R maintained semantic, cultural and conceptual equivalence. Cronbach's alpha was 0.74; the intraclass correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.81; and interobserver agreement was 0.84. Conclusion: The Brazilian-Portuguese version maintained conceptual, semantic and cultural validity, as compared to the original version. In the discriminant validity, there was correlation between capacity for selfcare, depression and perceived health, but not social support. There were significant differences between groups regarding age, education levels and insulin self-application. ResumoObjetivo: Traduzir, adaptar e validar a escala Appraisal of Self Care Agency Scale-Revised (ASAS-R) para o Brasil. Métodos: Utilizou-se o método descritivo de adaptação de instrumentos de medidas, em 150 portadores de diabetes mellitus. As etapas foram: tradução, síntese das traduções independentes, avaliação pelo Comitê de Juízes, retrotradução, submissão das versões retrotraduzidas aos autores da versão original, validação semântica, submissão da versão adaptada aos autores da versão original e pré-teste. Resultados: ASAS-R manteve as equivalências semântica, cultural e conceitual. O alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,74, e o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse, no teste e reteste, foi de 0,81, e na análise interobservadores, de 0,84. Conclusão: A versão manteve as equivalências conceitual, semântica e cultural. Confirmou-se a correlação entre os construtos capacidade de autocuidado, depressão e percepção do estado de saúde, exceto apoio social. Na validade discriminante, observaram-se diferenças significantes entre grupos, quanto à idade, escolaridade e autoaplicação de insulina.

Aim To test and compare the Self‐Care of Hypertension Inventory (SC‐HI) and Hypertension Self‐Care Profile (HBP SCP) among older patients with hypertension in China. Design A cross‐sectional observational study. Methods A convenience sampling of 220 older adults (120 male patients and 100 female patients) with hypertension and a mean age of 73.74 years was surveyed using the Chinese version of SC‐HI, the Chinese version of HBP SCP and the Chinese version of Exercise of Self‐Care Agency Scale (ESCA) during July‐September 2019. Psychometric analyses and Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analyses were performed on the collected data. Results The Cronbach's α of SC‐HI and HBP SCP was 0.858 and 0.953, respectively. The Pearson's coefficients between the SC‐HI total score and the ESCA total score, the HBP SCP total score and the ESCA total score were 0.494 and 0.700, respectively. The satisfactory sensitivity, specificity, cut‐off point and Area under the curve of SC‐HI were 0.8292, 0.5495, 120.5 and 0.754, respectively. As for HBP SCP, the values were 0.7907, 0.7582, 169.5 and 0.838, respectively. There was no significant difference between these two scales. Each has its own characteristics. However, the HBP SCP is more precise and effective for measuring self‐care ability in older patients.

Reliability, validity and factor structure of the Appraisal of Self‐Care Agency Scale – Revised (ASAS‐R)

Abstract: The 15-item three-factor ASAS-R is a short, reliable and valid instrument to measure self-care agency among individuals from the general population, but further psychometric evaluation is needed among individuals with chronic diseases, especially those with diabetes mellitus.
