“…Due to the need to systematically evaluate self-care capabilities in the Polish setting and to implement for this purpose an easily-completed, useful, and reliable research tool, it was decided to examine the psychometric properties of the shorter version of the EHFScBS. The 9-EHFScBS questionnaire possesses satisfactory psychometric properties, which is confirmed by the results achieved during the adaptation of this research tool in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy [6,7].…”

“…Furthermore, three statements were eliminated in the abridged version of the scale, including one concerning influenza immunisations, which may improve the psychometric properties of the abridged EHFScBS. The reliability of the tool was also proven in other cultural adaptations: Swedish -0.78 and 0.77; Dutch -0.97 and 0.73; Italian -0.78; German -0.71; Spanish -0.85; and American -0.80 [6,7,16,17]. Only in the British population was a slightly lower Cronbach's alpha achieved [18], but the use of this scale in the English language seems to be justified, and the legitimacy of the use of the 9-EHFScBS in various cultural adaptations is confirmed by the data presented above.…”

It should be emphasised that self-care capability measured with the 9-EHFScBS questionnaire may be influenced by the differences between health care systems in individual countries, including socio-economic conditions [5,7]. Moreover, each statement used in the scale may be interpreted separately and treated as a factor determining the level of self-care in HF [6,7].…”

A b s t r a c tBackground: According to the guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology, education in heart failure (HF) should focus on preparing the patient for self-control and self-care. Only systematic assessment of the level of self-care in HF enables the optimisation and adaptation of education to meet the patient's needs. The research tool commonly used to assess self-care in HF patients is the nine-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale (9-EHFScBS). Aim:To test the reliability of the Polish version of the 9-EHFScBS.Methods: A standard guideline was used for the translation and cultural adaptation of the English version of the 9-EHFScBS into Polish. The study included 110 Polish patients (mean age 66.0 ± 11.4 years); 51 men and 59 women. Cronbach's alpha was used for the analysis of the internal consistency of the 9-EHFScBS. Results:The mean overall level of self-care in the study group was 27.65 points (SD 7.13 points). Good or satisfactory levels of self-care were found in three out of nine analysed variables. The reliability of the self-care scale was alpha = 0.787. The value of Cronbach's alpha after the exclusion of individual statements ranged from 0.75 to 0.81. Conclusions:The 9-EHFScBS questionnaire is a reliable research tool in assessing the level of self-care among patients with HF in the Polish population.

“…По мнению Lambrinou E, et al [13] психометриче-ские характеристики EHFScBS могут колебаться в зависимости от популяции и культуры больных с СН. Поэтому оценка влияния уровня образования, а также других демографических и клинических характеристик на психометрические параметры шкалы EHFScBS должна стать предметом дальней-ших исследований.…”

Цель. Оценка надежности и дискриминантной валидности Российской версии Европейской шкалы оценки способности к самопомощи пациентов с сердеч-ной недостаточностью (СН). Материал и методы. Европейская шкала оценки способности к самопомощи пациентов с СН была переведена на русский язык согласно модели брислина тремя независимыми переводчиками. После обсуждения членами рабочей группы, профессиональный переводчик осуществил обратный перевод на английский язык, который был одобрен автором шкалы. Далее в исследова-ние включили 95 пациентов с хронической СН (ХСН) различной этиологии, которые ответили на вопросы при поступлении и выписке из кардиологиче-ских отделений. Коэффициент Альфа Кронбаха (a-Кронбаха) использовался для анализа внутренней согласованности характеристик шкалы. Также оцени-валась дискриминантная валидность шкалы. Результаты. Обучение пациентов с ХСН обеспечило снижение средней суммы баллов с 27,7±6,6 при поступлении до 15,8±4,5 к моменту выписки из стационара. Коэффициент внутренней согласованности Альфа Кронбаха Российской версии Европейской шкалы оценки способности к самопомощи пациентов с СН составил 0,826. Отсутствие достоверной связи общей суммы баллов шкалы Канзасского опросника больных с кардиомиопатией и Минне-сотского опросника качества жизни больных с СН подтвердило дискриминант-ную валидность Российской версии Европейской шкалы. Заключение. Российская версия Европейской шкалы оценки способности к самопомощи пациентов с СН является легким и удобным инструментом, который может оказаться полезным, как при проведении клинических иссле-дований, так и в условиях реальной клинической практики. Aim. to assess reliability and discriminant validity of the Russian version of European Scale of Self-care in patients with heart failure (HF). Material and methods. European Scale of self-help assessment in CHF was translated in Russian according to Brislin model by three not related translators. After discussion by the workgroup members, professional translator retranslated back it to English, and the result was agreed with the author of the score. then, 95 patients were included with chronic HF (CHF) of various etiology, who responded the questions at admittance and discharge from cardiological departments. Cronbach alpha was used for analysis of intrinsic consistency of the score. Also discriminant validity was evaluated. Results. Edication of CHF patients led to decrease of the whole points summ from 27,7±6,6 at admittance to 15,8±4,5 by discharge event. Coefficient of intrinsic consistency Cronbach alpha of the Russian version of European Scale was 0,826. Absence of significant relation of total points summ from Kansas questionnaire for cardiomyopathy patients and Minnessota questionnaire of life quality in HF proved discriminant validity of the Russian version. Conclusion. Russian version of European Scale of Self-help for patients with HF is easy to use and convenient instrument, which might be helpful for clinical trials as for clinical practice.
