Development and validation of the chronic illness self-management (CISM) scale: Data from a young patient sample in Hong Kong

Time Effects of Supportive Interaction and Facilitator Input Variety on Treatment Adherence of Young People with Chronic Health Conditions: A Dynamic Mechanism in Mutual Aid Groups

“…The present study involved a survey design with data collected through a structured questionnaire completed by each participant. The structured questionnaire consisted of the items adapted from the existing literature to measure the predictor variables (i.e., supportive interaction and facilitator input variety) and the outcome variable (i.e., treatment adherence) in mutual aid groups [ 21 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. All items were measured on a five-point scale (1 = never or rarely; 2 = seldom; 3 = average; 4 = quite often; 5 = very often).…”

“…Treatment adherence refers to the regularity with which a patient follows the treatment plans advised by healthcare professionals [ 42 ]. The six-item treatment adherence scale evolved from an earlier study by our research team [ 39 ], with reference to existing literature [ 38 , 40 ]. Treatment adherence was an important component of the chronic illness self-management scale, which has been validated among PCHC aged 12 to 45 with confirmatory factor analysis [ 39 ].…”

Accordingly, the scale maintained adequate fit indices in subgroup consistency validation, and had adequate results in concurrent validity testing [ 39 ]. Treatment adherence was measured by six items that ask the participants about the frequency of following situations they experienced in the past month.…”

Actividad Nerviosa Autónoma de Pacientes con Síndromes Crónicos durante la Aplicación de un Perfil Psicofisiológico

“…La prevalencia de los trastornos crónicos crece día con día (de Siqueira et al, 2020), causan deterioro por más de un año, requieren un tratamiento continuo y limitan las actividades diarias (Ngai et al, 2020). Los cambios en el estilo de vida condicionan su aparición a edades cada vez más tempranas (Kim et al, 2020) y su atención supone una gran carga económica, sanitaria y social.…”
