Aims And Objectives:
To translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of a Danish version of the Fluid Intake Appraisal Inventory (Da-FIAI) regarding reliability and validity.
Background:
Patients on haemodialysis are advised to restrict their fluid intake, which often requires patients to change their way of life and health behaviour.
Design:
Cross-sectional study.
Methods:
The FIAI was translated to Danish by two sets of target translations and two sets of back-translations (n = 4). One hundred and ninety-five patients on haemodialysis needing ultrafiltration completed the questionnaire for the evaluation study of the Da-FIAI, and psychometric properties were evaluated.
Results:
Criterion validity was supported, and the Da-FIAI had an excellent internal consistency; known-groups validity and the factor structure could not be confirmed in the Danish sample.
Conclusions:
We have shown that the Da-FIAI is useful in a Danish haemodialysis population to score the patient's ability to avoid drinking in specific situations.
Relevance To Clinical Practice:
Using the Da-FIAI in the continuing nurse-patient communication, nurses have a validated instrument to evaluate patients' self-efficacy in fluid intake management and systematically identify and advise patients who need additional support.
