Abstract

Background

This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Partners in Health Scale (PIH-TR), which was developed to assess the perceptions of patients with chronic conditions in primary care. Accurate assessment of facilitators and barriers to self-management of chronic conditions, from the patients' perspective, is important for working effectively with them to promote better health outcomes.

Methods

A cross-sectional validation study was conducted and designed according to the STROBE guidelines. One hundred thirty-six patients, aged 30–90 years (86.7% aged > 60), were recruited from family care centres. Data were collected using the revised PIH, an adapted version of Model-2 (PIH-TR), which is a 12-item self-rated measure of self-management of chronic conditions. The PIH was translated into Turkish using Beaton et al.'s method. Content, construct validity and internal consistency analyses were undertaken to evaluate the data.

Results

The PIH-TR had satisfactory reliability and validity and revealed a four-factor structure appropriate to the original scale: knowledge, partnership in treatment, recognition and management of symptoms and coping. Omega coefficient (0.860), test–retest reliability (0.841) and comparative fit indices (CFI) (0.99) were high.

Conclusion

The PIH-TR has good specifics and is reliable and valid as an objective self-rated tool to assess self-management of Turkish patients' chronic conditions.
