Background: Assessment of patients' knowledge on atrial fibrillation (AF) and its management is important for evaluating their learning needs. However, a validated and comprehensive instrument to be used among Chinese patients is yet to be developed. Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Chinese version of the Atrial Fibrillation Knowledge Scale (AFKS-C) in Chinese patients. Methods: The 11-item AFKS was translated, and then content and face validations were conducted by an expert panel and patients with AF. A sample of 255 patients with AF was recruited from a university-affiliated hospital to evaluate its psychometric properties. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated using the Kuder-Richardson formula 20 and κ statistics. Item analysis determined the item difficulty index and item discrimination coefficients. Factorial and discriminant validity were evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and the known-groups method. Results: The content validity index of the AFKS-C was 0.94, and the Kuder-Richardson formula 20 value was 0.60. The difficulty indices of the items ranged from 0.36 to 0.89, and the point-biserial coefficients of the items ranged from 0.122 to 0.255, indicating sufficient discriminatory ability. The test-retest reliability was acceptable, because the κ values ranged from 0.234 to 0.710. The principal axis factoring analysis indicated a 3-factor structure that explained 50.4% of the total variance. The AFKS-C also demonstrated satisfactory discriminant validity, having yielded significantly different scores between patients with newly diagnosed and established AF. Conclusion: The AFKS-C has acceptable psychometric properties and can be used to measure the knowledge of patients and evaluate the effects of patient education programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
