Abstract:
This study was conducted methodologically to determine the reliability and the validity of the Turkish version of the hemodialysis self-management scale in hemodialysis patients in Turkey. The study was conducted with 200 patients who received hemodialysis treatment between October 2022 and April 2023. Data were collected using a Patient Information Form and the Hemodialysis Self-Management Instrument. To test the reliability of the scale, the internal consistency coefficient Cronbach's Alpha, McDonald Omega, and test-retest reliability coefficients were calculated. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the validity. Unlike the original version, the scale consisted of 11 items and 4 subscales and showed an acceptable fit. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.89; the McDonald Omega coefficient was 0.90. The hemodialysis self-management instrument is a reliable and valid scale in Turkey.
