Abstract

Background: The Family Caregiver Medication Administration Hassles Scale (FCMAHS) was developed to evaluate the hassles and concerns experienced by family caregivers in medication administration.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Family Caregiver Medication Administration Hassles Scale (FCMAHS-TR).

Methods: The FCMAHS-TR was developed after translation, cultural adaptation, and a pilot study. The cross-sectional study was conducted among family caregivers (≥18 years) in community pharmacies. Test-retest reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed. Hypothesis testing was used for the assessment of construct validity.

Results: The majority (68.7%) of the family caregivers were female (n = 470). In the test-retest reliability analysis (n = 30), the ICC value was 0.917 (P < 0.001). In EFA analysis (n = 251), the Kaiser‒Meyer‒Olkin (KMO) measure was 0.799, 62.6% of the total variance was explained by five factors including eighteen items, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.836. According to CFA (n = 219), the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) was 0.0654, and the comparative fit index (CFI) was 0.918. In construct validity, family caregivers with low reading ability of health-related materials and with high care burden had significantly higher median scores for all the factors of the FCMAHS-TR (P < 0.05 for all).

Conclusions: The FCMAHS-TR can be used to evaluate the hassle and concerns experienced by family caregivers in medication administration. This scale can be used by healthcare professionals to identify family caregivers who need individualized interventions for medication administration hassles.

土耳其版家庭照顾者药物管理纠纷量表的信度和效度

制定家庭护理人员用药困扰量表（FCMAHS）是为了评估家庭护理人员在用药过程中遇到的困扰和担忧。本研究旨在评估土耳其版家庭护理人员用药Hassles量表（FCMAHS-TR）的可靠性和有效性。FCMAHS-TR是在翻译、文化适应和试点研究之后开发的。这项横断面研究是在社区药房的家庭护理人员（≥18岁）中进行的。进行了测试-再测试可靠性分析、探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析。假设检验用于结构有效性的评估。大多数（68.7%）家庭照顾者是女性（n=470）。在测试-再测试可靠性分析（n=30）中，ICC值为0.917（P<0.001）。在EFA分析（n=251）中，Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin（KMO）测量值为0.799，62.6%的总方差由包括18个项目的5个因素解释，Cronbachα为0.836。根据CFA（n=219），近似均方根误差（RMSEA）为0.0654，比较拟合指数（CFI）为0.918。在结构有效性方面，健康相关材料阅读能力低、护理负担高的家庭护理人员在FCMAHS-TR的所有因素中的中位得分显著较高（所有因素均P<0.05）。FCMAHS-TR可用于评估家庭护理人员在用药过程中遇到的麻烦和担忧。医疗保健专业人员可以使用该量表来确定需要对药物管理问题进行个性化干预的家庭护理人员。
