These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Psychometrics
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) management requires lifestyle modifications.
  • Patient adherence to healthy lifestyles can be influenced by social support.
  • The Helping Relationships from Significant Others (HRSO) scale aims to quantify this support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the validity and reliability of the HRSO scale.
  • To assess the scale's utility in supporting patients with CKD.
  • To determine if HRSO scale scores correlate with healthy lifestyle adoption in CKD patients.

Main Methods:

  • A convenience sample of 250 CKD patients was recruited from a nephrology clinic.
  • Principal axis factor analysis with promax rotation was used for scale development.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and split-half reliability were employed for validation.

Main Results:

  • Factor analysis identified a 15-item, three-factor structure explaining 68.44% of the variance.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit.
  • The scale exhibited high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .90) and composite reliability (.91-.92), indicating strong validity and reliability.

Conclusions:

  • The HRSO scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing significant others' support.
  • This scale can be a valuable tool for healthcare providers to encourage healthy lifestyles in CKD patients.
  • Utilizing the HRSO scale may contribute to decelerating CKD progression and improving patient outcomes.
