"Barriers to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Homework Completion Scale- Depression Version": Development and Psychometric Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: We conducted a two-phase study to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument to identify barriers to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) homework completion in a depressed sample. In Phase I, we developed an item pool by interviewing 20 depressed patients and 20 CBT therapists. In Phase II, we created and administered a draft instrument to 56 people with depression. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a 2-factor oblique solution of "Patient Factors" and "Therapy/Task Factors." Internal consistency coefficients ranged from .80 to .95. Temporal stability was demonstrated through Pearson correlations of .72 (for the therapist/task subscale) to .95 (for the patient subscale) over periods of time that ranged from 2 days to 3 weeks. The patient subscale was able to satisfactorily classify patients (75 to 79 %) with low and high adherence at both sessions. Specificity was .66 at both time points. Sensitivity was .80 at sessions B and .77 at session C. There were no consistent predictors of assignment compliance when measured by the Assignment Compliance Rating Scale (Primakoff, Epstein, & Covi, 1986). The Rating Scale and subscale scores did, however, correlate significantly with assignment non-compliance (.32 to .46).

Project description:ContextThe Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a brief self-report measure commonly used to screen for symptoms of anxiety and depression in cancer patients. The HADS has demonstrated validity in over 100 languages, including Spanish. However, validation studies have largely used European Spanish-speaking samples with a variety of medical diagnoses.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the HADS in a sample of Spanish-speaking Latina women with cancer in the U.S.MethodsParticipants (N = 242) completed self-report measures of anxiety and depression (HADS), quality of life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General Version), cancer-related distress (Impact of Events Scale-Revised Version Intrusion Subscale), and cancer symptomatology (Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Short Form) before initiating chemotherapy and five to seven weeks later. Analyses evaluated internal consistency and test-retest reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity.ResultsFactor analysis supported a two-factor structure as proposed by the original HADS developers (X2 [76, N = 242] = 143.3, P < 0.001, comparative fit index = 0.94, root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.06, and standardized root-mean-square residual = 0.06). The HADS and its subscales demonstrated good internal consistency (α = 0.83-0.88) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.76-0.82). Construct validity was evidenced by factor analysis and item-subscale, item-total, and subscale-total correlations. Convergent validity was demonstrated by strong positive correlations with cancer-related distress (r = 0.51-0.71) and symptom severity (r = 0.54-0.62) and strong negative correlations with quality of life (r = -0.63 to -0.76) (all P's < 0.001).ConclusionThe Spanish version of the HADS evidenced sound psychometric properties in Latinas with cancer in the U.S., supporting its use in clinical oncology research and practice.

Project description:Background and aimThe postpartum depression literacy (PoDLi) of perinatal women is closely related to the occurrence, recognition, and treatment of postpartum depression, therefore valid instruments for evaluating the level of PoDLi are of great significance for both research and clinical practice. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the postpartum depression literacy scale (PoDLiS) into Chinese and to test its psychometric properties among Chinese perinatal women.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2022 in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. 619 out of the 650 perinatal women that were approached via a convenience sampling method completed the Chinese version of the PoDLiS (C-PoDLiS). Content validity [the content validity index of items (I-CVI) and scale-level content validity index (S-CVI)] was evaluated by an expert panel. Psychometric properties, including item analysis, structure validity (exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis), convergent and discriminant validity, reliability (internal consistency, test-retest reliability), criterion validity (concurrent validity, predictive validity), and floor/ceiling effect were examined.ResultsThe final version of C-PoDLiS is a six-factor structure consisting of 27 items, which explained 61.00% of the total variance. Adequate content validity (I-CVI = 0.833-1.00, S-CVI = 0.920) was ensured by the expert panel. The modified confirmatory factor analysis model revealed that the 6-factor model fitted the data well (χ2/df = 1.532, root mean square error of approximation = 0.042, goodness of fit = 0.900, incremental fit index = 0.949, comparative fit index = 0.948, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.940). The total Cronbach's α was 0.862, the total McDonald's ω was 0.869, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.856. Results of convergent validity (average variance extracted = 0.486-0.722) and discriminant validity provided good or acceptable psychometric support. Significant correlations between scores of the C-PoDLiS and Mental health literacy scale (r = 0.155-0.581, p < 0.01) and Attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help short form scale (r = 0.361-0.432, p < 0.01) supported good concurrent and predictive validity, respectively. No floor/ceiling effect was found.ConclusionThe C-PoDLiS was demonstrated to be a sound instrument with good reliability and validity for evaluating Chinese perinatal women's PoDLi levels. Its use in the future can facilitate data aggregation and outcome comparisons across different studies on this topic.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt and psychometrically validate a Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-P) and to identify the main barriers in an Iranian setting.SettingAfshar cardiac rehabilitation (CR) centre, affiliated with the Yazd University of Medical Sciences, in the centre of Iran.DesignThis was a multimethod study, culminating in a cross-sectional survey.ParticipantsInpatient CR graduates who did not attend their initial outpatient CR appointment.MethodThe 21-item CRBS was translated and cross-culturally adapted in accordance with best practices; an expert panel considered the items and previous non-attending patients were interviewed via phone to refine the scale. Next, structural validity was assessed; participants were invited to complete the CRBS on the phone between March 2017 and February 2018. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with principal component analysis extraction and oblique rotation. Second, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to verify the results; several goodness-of-fit indices were considered. The internal consistency and 3-week test-retest reliability of the scale (5% subsample) were evaluated using Cronbach's ? and intraclass correlation (ICC), respectively.ResultsFace, content and cross-cultural validity were established by the experts and patients (n=50). One thousand and one hundred (40.7%) of the 2700 patients completed the CRBS-P. Structural validity was established by EFA (Bartlett's test p<0.001; =0.759) and confirmed by the CFA; a four-factor solution with 18 items accounting for 61.256% of variance had the best fit (?2/df=3.206, root mean square error of approximation=0.061 and Comparative Fit Index=0.959). The internal consistency and test-retest reliability (n=42) of the scale were acceptable (ICC=0.743 95%?CI (0.502 to 0.868); overall ?=0.797). The top barriers were not knowing about CR, cost and lack of encouragement from physicians.ConclusionThe four-factor, 18-item CRBS-P had good psychometric properties, and hence can be reliably and validly used to measure CR barriers in Iran and other Persian-speaking populations.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the internal consistency, reliability, convergent validity, known-group comparisons, and structural validity of the Chinese version of Fear of Intimacy with Helping Professionals (C-FIS-HP) scale in Macau.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used on a sample of 593 older people in 6 health centers. We used Chinese version of Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (C-ESCAS) and Morisky 4-item medication adherence scale to evaluate self-care actions and medication adherence. The internal consistency and reliability of C-FIS-HP were analyzed using the Spearman-Brown split-half reliability, Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest reliability. Convergent validity was tested the construct of C-FIS-HP and self-care actions. Known-group comparisons differentiated predefined groups in an expected direction. Two separated samples were used to test the structural validity. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) tested the factor structure of C-FISHP using the principal axis factoring. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was further conducted to confirm the factor structure constructed in the prior EFA.ResultsThe C-FIS-HP had a Spearman-Brown split-half coefficient, Cronbach's alpha, and intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.96, 0.93, and 0.96, respectively. Convergent validity was satisfactory with significantly correlations between the C-FIS-HP and C-ESCAS. C-FIS-HP to differentiate the differences between high-, moderate-, and low- medication adherence groups. EFA demonstrated a two-factor structure among 297 older people. A first-order CFA was performed to confirm the construct dimensionality of C-FIS-HP with satisfactory fit indices (NFI = 0.92; IFI = 0.95; TLI = 0.94; CFI = 0.95 and RMSEA = 0.07) among 296 older people.ConclusionsC-FIS-HP is a reliable and valid test for assessing helping relationships in older Chinese people. Health professionals can use C-FIS-HP as a clinical tool to assess the comfort level of patients in a helping relationship, and use this information to develop culturally sensitive therapeutic interventions and treatment plans. Further studies need to be conducted concerning the different psychometric properties, as well as the application of C-FIS-HP in various regions.
