On the other hand, a possible explanation regarding the lower mean score in the spirituality/ religion item is that the majority of participants in this study were this study also demonstrated that the factorial structure of the KHSMS was somewhat different compared with the original version used with American women.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine validity and reliability of Webel and colleagues' HIV Self-Management Scale when used with a Korean sample. Methods: The original 20-item HIV Self-Management Scale was translated into Korean using translation and back-translation. Nine HIV nurse experts tested content validity. Principal component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of data from 203 patients was used to test construct validity. Concurrent validity was evaluated using correlation with patients' self-rating as a "smart patient" measured using a visual analogue scale. Internal consistency was tested by Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Results: All items were rated as having satisfactory content validity. Based on PCA and consideration of conceptual meaning, a three-factor solution was selected, explaining 48.76% of the variance. CFA demonstrated the adequacy of the three-domain structure of the construct HIV self-management: daily self-management health practices, social support and HIV self-management, and chronic nature of HIV self-management. Goodness-of-fit indices showed an acceptable fit overall with the full model ( χ 2 / df(164)=1.66, RMSEA=0.06, SRMR=0.05, TLI=0.91, and CFI= 0.92). The Korean version of the HIV Self-Management Scale (KHSMS) was significantly correlated with patients' self-rated smart patient (r=.41). The subscale Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from .78 to .81; alpha for the total scale was .89. Conclusion: The KHSMS provides a valid and reliable measure of self-management in Korean patients with HIV. Continued psychometric testing is recommended to provide further evidence of validity with this population.Key words: HIV, Self-management, Self-care, Reliability, Validity * This study was supported by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) and Hallym University (7-2012-0333 If the original work is properly cited and retained without any modification or reproduction, it can be used and re-distributed in any format and medium.

“…18 Item 5 remained unchanged in our and other adaptations. 18,19 We added the word "líquido" (liquid) in item 6 and the word "water" was added in a multicenter study. 22 The verb tenses in the other adaptations remained unchanged in the present tense.…”

“…The elevated level of internal consistency seen in our adaptation was also observed in other validations of the instrument, with values ranging between 0.78 16 and 0.81. 18 Item 4 had the highest mean score, indicating that having severe dry mouth led to significant distress. This finding was consistent with the mean values reported in the literature.…”

“…16,[18][19][20] The lack of a gold standard against which to validate a scale has led other authors 6,[18][19][20]22 to make comparisons against a VAS, a validated instrument to measure the intensity of pain 14 broadly used in the assessment of thirst. 6,16,[18][19][20]22 This procedure is based on the Theory of Symptom Management, 25 in which converging validity is assigned when theoretically related dimensions present associations in reality. The validity of the framework stands on the fact that more intense thirst is expected to cause greater distress.…”

“…14 Scores were assigned based on the distance in centimeters between point zero and the point marked by the patients to characterize thirst intensity. 16,[18][19][20] Within a week, 70 participants (55% of the original population) were retested and asked to answer the questions on thirst from the questionnaire (VAS and TDS-BR); they followed the same procedure adopted the first time and the scale was assessed for reproducibility ( Figure 1).…”

Transcultural adaptation of the Thirst Distress Scale (TDS) into Brazilian Portuguese and an analysis of the psychometric properties of the scale for patients on hemodialysis

et al. 2020

Objective: To produce a transcultural adaptation of the Thirst Distress Scale (TDS) into Brazilian Portuguese and analyze the scale’s psychometric properties for patients on hemodialysis (HD). Methods: The original scale was translated, back translated, and discussed with psychometric assessment experts. The final version was tested with 126 patients on HD and retested with 70 individuals from the original patient population. Cronbach’s alpha was used to measure the scale’s internal consistency. Reliability of thirst intensity evaluated via the visual analogue scale (VAS) was tested with Kappa statistic and the Bland-Altman plot. Reproducibility was assessed based on the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The wording of three items and the verb tenses of six had to be adjusted in the final version of the Brazilian Portuguese TDS. Comprehension of the scale by patients on HD was good, the scale’s internal consistency was satisfactory (0.84; p<0.001), agreement with a visual analogue scale (VAS) was moderate (kappa=0.44; p<0.001), and reproducibility neared perfection (ICC=0.87; p<0.001). Conclusion: Our results showed that the Brazilian Portuguese version of the scale might be used reliably. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TDS is a practical, affordable, accessible and well-accepted tool that has a lot to offer for the management of patients with HD.

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Thirst Distress Scale in Patients on Hemodialysis

Abstract: The psychometric properties of the TDS-T were consistent with those reported in the original study. The TDS-T was found to be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating thirst distress in patients on hemodialysis.
