Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the revised Korean version of the Chronic Hepatitis B Self-Management Scale-K16 (CHBSMS-K16).
Methods Using the convenience sampling method, the data of chronic hepatitis B patients (N=200) were collected from August to October 2021. The participants were recruited from two hospitals in D metropolitan city and 3 internet cafes for hepatitis patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS programs. The content, structure, item-convergent/discriminant, and convergent validities and internal consistency were evaluated.
Results Based on the statistical analysis, 9 items from the original version were excluded-resulting in 4 subscales with a total of 16 items. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated adequate model fit indices. The items convergence and discrimination validity were verified using extracted mean variance (.46~.65) and composition reliability (.81~.88). The convergent validity was satisfactory, as demonstrated by its correlation with the New General Self Efficacy scale (r=.63, p<.001). The Cronbach’s α for the overall scale was .88, and that of the four subscales ranged from .63 to .74.
Conclusion The CHBSMS-K16 is a valid and reliable instrument. Therefore, this tool can be used to measure the level of self-management of Korean patients with chronic hepatitis B. Additionally, this scale can be used in clinical settings as well as in educational and research settings.
PURPOSE This study aimed to verify the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Basic Physical Capability Scale (BPCS-K). METHODS The BPCS was translated into Korean using forward and back translations. Data were collected from January 16 to May 10, 2019. The study participants comprised 285 older adults, with 147 recruited from an acute care setting, and 138, who had dementia, were from long-term care facilities. Data analysis included KR-20, intraclass correlation coefficient, independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, hierarchical multiple regression, and Rasch analysis (item difficulty, infit/outfit, separation index, reliability index, and differential item function analysis), and were conducted using SPSS/WIN 25.0 and R programs. The criterion-related validity was examined using the Barthel Index. RESULTS The KR-20 reliability coefficient was .93 and the intraclass correlation coefficient for 2-week test-retest reliability was .97. The BPCS-K scores were significantly different compared to the known groups. Moreover, controlling for age, gender, and cognitive status, the Barthel Index score was significantly associated with the BPCS-K scores. Rasch analysis supported good construct validity. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that the 16-item BPCS-K is an appropriate instrument to measure basic physical capability in Korean older adults. The BPCS-K can establish individualized physical activity goals for the elderly in a variety of clinical settings and can also serve to measure changes of physical function in physical activity interventions for older adults.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a Self-Management Scale for Hemodialysis Patients on Arteriovenous Fistula (SMHDP) and to verify its validity and reliability. METHODS Items for the preliminary instrument of the SMHDP-scale were created through a literature review and in-depth interviews with hemodialysis patients and hemodialysis unit nurses. A convenient sample was utilized for this study. The questionnaire was distributed to 200 hemodialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula. Content validity, construct validity, criterion validity, convergent validity, and discriminative validity were evaluated respectively. Cronbach's α was used to evaluate the reliability of the SMHDP-scale. RESULTS Five factors were identified through factor analysis. The factors included dietary knowledge of hemodialysis (8 items), compliance with hemodialysis (7 items), knowledge of hemodialysis (6 items), dietary compliance of hemodialysis (6 items), and compliance with hemodialysis order (3 items).These five factors explained 58.9% of the total variance. The correlation coefficient between criterion instrument and SMHDP-scale was .66 Reliability analysis showed Cronbach's α coefficient was .90. CONCLUSION Results show that the SMHDP-scale had good reliability and validity and thus SMHDP-scale may be a useful scale for clinical practices and for research as a measure of self-management of hemodialysis patient on arteriovenous fistula.

PURPOSE This study was conducted to test whether Health Communication Assessment Tool (HCAT) developed by Campbell et al. in 2013 can be applied to assess Korean nursing students' communication skills in simulation education. METHODS The content validity of the Korean version of HCAT (K-HCAT) was evaluated through expert's assessment and a principal component analysis was conducted for testing construct validity. The convergent validity was tested by measuring relationship between the K-HCAT and those of existing communication assessment tool for standardized patient instruction. The evaluation was done by surveying 154 senior students from four different nursing colleges. RESULTS The K-HCAT was condensed into 15 items from the original 22 HCAT items. Four factors were extracted from the principal component analysis; factor loadings ranged from .50 to .83; cumulative explained variance was 62.65%. Four factors were entitled as 'relationship building', 'empowering', 'empathy/response', and 'education/feedback'. Cronbach's α for sub-dimensions ranged from .73 to .84. An evaluation of convergent validity showed that the scores of the K-HCAT were moderately correlated with those of an assessment tool for standardized patient instruction. CONCLUSION The K-HCAT can be used as an effective tool for assessing nursing students' communication skills in various kinds of simulation educations Further research is needed to test the consistency of the K-HCAT.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of shortened Nursing Decision-Making Instrument developed by Lauri & Salantera(2002). METHODS The subjects were 247 nurses working in eight hospitals of Korea. Data were collected by questionnaires from June to July, 2012 and were analyzed by Principal Component Analysis for construct validity and Cronbach's . coefficient for reliability. RESULTS Factor loadings of the four subscales ranged from .32 to .73. The explained variance from the four factors was 48.54% of the total variance. The factors were named 'implementation of plan, monitoring and evaluation', 'plans of action', 'data collection', and 'data processing and identification'. The first factor consisted of 6 items which explained 13.21% of the total variance and the second factor contained 8 items. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the four subscales were from .64 to .81. CONCLUSION The Korean version of the shortened Nursing Decision-Making Instrument has satisfactory construct validity and reliability. However, that the scores of the analytic items weren't reversed unlike the analysis method of the original tools is the biggest limitation of this study. In addition, based on the fact that there were several discrepancies for item interpretation of Korean comparing to the findings of the instrument development study, repetitive researches would be suggested.
