“…45 The initial exploratory factor analysis, although carried out in a relatively small sample, highlighted the same factors evidenced by the DAI authors. 45 The questionnaire was subsequently validated in Korean 46 and in Turkish; 47 its reduced 10-item version was used in an Egyptian study. 48 In Tunisia, it was validated by the study of Nakhli et al, 49 which examined a sample of 204 outpatients with schizophrenia, reporting 7 factors responsible for 59.9% of the overall variance, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.88.…”

Introduction: Negative attitude towards drug therapy can foster limited adherence to treatment, which remains one of the biggest obstacles for implementing effective treatments, especially long term. Purposes: The purposes of the study were 1) to evaluate the attitude towards drug therapy among a representative sample of patients treated in a community psychiatric service using 30-item Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-30); 2) to evaluate the DAI-30 dimensions, applying factorial analysis; and 3) to highlight the socio-demographic and clinical variables correlated to DAI-30 score and factors. Methods: The DAI was administered, over a 7-month period, to all patients treated in our psychiatric outpatient services who agreed to participate in this study and provided their informed consent. Data were statistically analyzed. Results: With a response rate of 63.3%, 164 females and 136 males completed the DAI-30 with an average score of 14.24 (±10.46 SD), indicating moderately positive attitude towards drug therapy. The analysis of DAI-30 internal consistency confirmed its reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.84). Our factorial analysis highlighted three factors: Factor 1 (Cronbach's alpha=0.81), composed of 7 items which indicate positive, trustful attitude; Factor 2 (Cronbach's alpha=0.78), composed of 5 items indicating negative attitude of suspiciousness; and Factor 3 (Cronbach's alpha=0.66), composed of 4 items suggesting defensive and control attitude towards drug therapy. Discussion: Among the selected variables, "monotherapy" and "total number of hospitalizations" were negatively correlated to the final score of DAI-30, whereas being "married" was positively correlated to it, in a statistically significant way, using the multiple linear regression model. These correlations suggest that positive attitude towards drug therapy could be reinforced by the condition of being married and reduced by relapses with hospitalization, as literature highlighted, and, paradoxically, by a monotherapy, which could suggest a sort of psychological dependence on therapy and, indirectly, on psychiatric service, potentially correlated to the long-term treatments of our patients.

This was, however, contrary to what was reported in two previous studies in Turkey and Sweden 9 , 13 where no significant associations were reported. Cumulative suggestions appear to tilt towards the fact that whether or not there will be a difference may be related to the large sample size, the level of functioning of the patients investigated and their symptom severity.…”

“…Patients receiving total score points greater than zero are considered drug compliant, while those equal to or less than zero are considered drug non-compliant. 9 The studies on the psychometric properties of the original English version show that it is a reliable and valid scale. 10 Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.81) as well as test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.82) was high.…”

Background: The treatment of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia has remained three-fold physical (pharmacological), psychological and social. Furthermore, the need to monitor adherence to the physical aspect of treatment has been a major concern to mental health practitioners as this usually affects the success of psychological and social treatment.Aim: My study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI) among patients with schizophrenia. The study was carried out at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro Abeokuta Ogun State and on an average, about 150 patients were seen daily at the outpatient clinic.Methods: Internal consistency, item-total correlation (the two-way mixed method with absolute agreement) and Cronbach’s alpha were evaluated using an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). This instrument’s level of adequacy was determined using factor analysis (principal component analysis with varimax rotation).Result: Marital status and level of education were significantly associated with adherence. The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.56 and principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation produced a three-factor solution.Conclusion: My study has shown that the DAI is a valid and reliable instrument and can be used in a clinical setting where there are limitations with time such as the outpatient clinic.

The study aimed to determine health anxiety and psychological resilience and to investigate the relationship between health anxiety and psychological resilience among nursing students in the last period of the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 507 students. The questionnaires used in the study were a student nurse information form, the Health Anxiety Inventory and the Resilience Scale for Adults. The mean age of the students was 20.70±1.77 years. The health anxiety mean score was 36.19±6.55, resilience scale mean score was 117.13±16.00. There was a weak negative correlation between the students’ psychological resilience and their health anxiety (r=-0.207, p<0.001). Having an extended family and having good relationships with family and friends were the predictors of psychological resilience. Social support and psychological care services under a biopsychosocial model by the management of university or faculty should be implemented for university students in order to preserve their resilience and wellbeing, to cope with the pandemic.
