Psychometric Evaluation of Chronic Patients Using the Persian Version of Patient Activation Measure (PAM)

Psychometric Evaluation of Chronic Patients Using the Persian Version of Patient Activation... The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses patients’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in self-management. The current study aimed to translate the American version of the PAM-13 into Persian and test the psychometric properties of the Persian version among chronic patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 438 chronically ill patients in Rafsanjan, Iran from May to November 2019. The American version of the PAM-13 was translated into Persian using a standardized forward–backward translation method. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, face and content validity, as well as construct validity (structural and convergent validity) were all assessed. The content validity index of the Patient Activation Measure-13 Persian (PAM-13-P) was 0.91. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the PAM-13-P had a meaningful structural validity. The PAM-13-P scores were negatively correlated with the Partner in Health Measure (PIH) (r = −0.29, p < 0.001). In addition, the PAM13-P scores were positively correlated with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (r = 0.31, p < 0.001). The internal consistency was 0.88, and the repeatability was excellent [Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC):0.96 and confidence interval (CI): 0.94–0.98]. This study demonstrates that the PAM-13-P is a reliable and valid measure for assessing activation among chronically ill patients. The PAM-13-P scale assesses the level of self-management of chronic patients and identifies appropriate care strategies to meet their needs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Evaluation & the Health Professions SAGE

Abstract

The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses patients’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in self-management. The current study aimed to translate the American version of the PAM-13 into Persian and test the psychometric properties of the Persian version among chronic patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 438 chronically ill patients in Rafsanjan, Iran from May to November 2019. The American version of the PAM-13 was translated into Persian using a standardized forward–backward translation method. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, face and content validity, as well as construct validity (structural and convergent validity) were all assessed. The content validity index of the Patient Activation Measure-13 Persian (PAM-13-P) was 0.91. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the PAM-13-P had a meaningful structural validity. The PAM-13-P scores were negatively correlated with the Partner in Health Measure (PIH) (r = −0.29, p < 0.001). In addition, the PAM13-P scores were positively correlated with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (r = 0.31, p < 0.001). The internal consistency was 0.88, and the repeatability was excellent [Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC):0.96 and confidence interval (CI): 0.94–0.98]. This study demonstrates that the PAM-13-P is a reliable and valid measure for assessing activation among chronically ill patients. The PAM-13-P scale assesses the level of self-management of chronic patients and identifies appropriate care strategies to meet their needs.
