Abstract:
Device acceptance is a crucial factor in identifying implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients at risk for psychosocial distress and unfavorable quality of life outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of the validity of internal structure (construct) and reliability of the Florida Patient Acceptance Survey (FPAS) in a sample of ICD patients, comparing the psychometric indicators of the complete (FPAS-18 item) and abbreviated (FPAS-12 item) versions. The sample included 151 participants (97 males, mean age of 55.7 ± 14.1 years) who completed the cross-culturally adapted version of the FPAS instrument for the Brazilian context. The psychometric properties of both versions of the FPAS instrument were evaluated by two distinct approaches:•Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis: used to test the internal structure of the instrument•Cronbach\'s Alpha and McDonald\'s Omega: used to determine the reliability of the instrument The two versions of the FPAS-Br instrument showed consistent evidence of internal structure validity and reliability. However, the FPAS-Br 12-item showed a better psychometric adjustment, confirmed by the analysis of the quality indicators of the models.
摘要:
设备接受度是识别植入式心律转复除颤器(ICD)患者面临社会心理困扰和不良生活质量结局的关键因素。这项研究的目的是检查ICD患者样本中佛罗里达患者接受调查(FPAS)的内部结构(构造)和可靠性的有效性的证据,比较完整版本(FPAS-18项目)和缩写版本(FPAS-12项目)的心理测量指标。样本包括151名参与者(97名男性,平均年龄为55.7±14.1岁),他完成了针对巴西背景的FPAS工具的跨文化改编版本。通过两种不同的方法评估了两种版本的FPAS仪器的心理测量特性:•探索性和验证性因子分析:用于测试仪器的内部结构•Cronbach的Alpha和McDonald的Omega:用于确定仪器的可靠性FPAS-Br仪器的两个版本显示出内部结构有效性和可靠性的一致证据。然而,FPAS-Br12项目显示出更好的心理测量调整,通过对模型质量指标的分析证实。
