Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to translate and adapt the "Haemodialysis Distress Thermometer Scale" (HDDT) into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability.

Methods: This study collected data from 223 haemodialysis patients across three public hospitals in Kütahya province, Türkiye, over a seven-week period.

Results: In this study, the content validity index of the scale was determined to be 0.96. Validity analysis results indicated that factor loadings ranged between 0.45 and 0.82, the total variance explained was 59.25%, and the fit indices were X²/df = 1.149 and RMSEA = 0.026. Reliability analysis showed that the total Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.80, with item-total correlation coefficients ranging from 0.37 to 0.73. The cut-off score for the HDDT barometer was identified as 6.5. The final structure of the HDDT scale comprised 40 items, four factors, and an 11-point barometer, consistent with the original scale.

Conclusion: The Turkish version of the HDDT is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing distress in patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment. It may serve as a valuable tool for nurses in identifying and addressing patient distress during haemodialysis care.

血液透析窘迫温度计量表：土耳其语效度与信度研究。

目的：本研究旨在将“血液透析窘迫温度计量表”（HDDT）翻译成土耳其文，并评估其效度和信度。方法：本研究收集了来自基耶省k tahya省三家公立医院的223名血液透析患者的数据，为期7周。结果：本研究确定量表的内容效度指数为0.96。效度分析结果表明，因子负荷在0.45 ~ 0.82之间，总方差解释率为59.25%，拟合指数X2/df = 1.149, RMSEA = 0.026。信度分析显示，总Cronbach's α系数为0.80，项目-总相关系数为0.37 ~ 0.73。HDDT晴雨表的临界值被确定为6.5。HDDT量表的最终结构包括40个项目，4个因素和一个11点的晴雨表，与最初的量表一致。结论：土耳其版HDDT是评估血液透析患者痛苦的有效和可靠的工具。它可以作为一个有价值的工具，护士在识别和解决病人的痛苦在血液透析护理。
