Abstract
Aim

This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Self Care of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Inventory into Arabic and measure its psychometric properties among Arabic-speaking patients with CHD.

Method

Using Sousa's guidelines on translation, the study assesses the content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability of the Arabic version of the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Inventory (SC-CHDI-Ar). A total of 181 patients with CHD were involved in the validity and reliability testing, and a test re-test was conducted with 61 patients at cardiology clinics in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Results

The content validity index of the three subscales of SC-CHDI-Ar was acceptable. Additionally, the SC-CHDI-Ar did not have any floor or ceiling effects. Positive significant correlations were found among the subscales of SC-CHDI-Ar with the Arabic Cardiac Self Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ-A) scores. The internal consistency of SC-CHDI-Ar were ranged from (α=0.70 to 0.95), and the test–retest of the maintenance, management, and confidence subscales were ICC2,1=0.86 (95%CI; .70–0.91), 0.76 (95%CI; 0.59–0.85), and 0.76 (95%CI; 0.56– 0.85), respectively.

Conclusion

The SC-CHDII-Ar is an understandable, valid, and reliable instrument for determining the self-care needs of patients with CHD in Saudi Arabia.

Resumen
Objetivo

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo traducir y adaptar culturalmente el Self Care of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Inventory al árabe, y medir sus propiedades psicométricas en los pacientes de habla árabe con CHD.

Método

Utilizando las directrices de traducción de Sousa, el estudio evalúa la validez del contenido, la validez del constructo, la consistencia interna y la fiabilidad test-retest de la versión en árabe del Self Care of Coronary Heart Inventory (SC-CHDI-Ar). Un total de 181 pacientes con EC participaron en las pruebas de validez y fiabilidad, y se realizó una nueva prueba con 61 pacientes en clínicas de cardiología en Riyadh, Arabia Saudita.

Resultados

El índice de validez del contenido de las tres subescalas de SC-CHDI-Ar fue aceptable. Además, el SC-CHDI-Ar no tuvo ningún efecto en el suelo o techo. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas positivas entre las subescalas de SC-CHDI-Ar con los resultados del Cuestionario de Autoeficacia Cardíaca en árabe (CSEQ-A). La consistencia interna de SC-CHDI-Ar varió entre (α=0,70 y 0,95), y las subescalas de mantenimiento, manejo y confianza fueron ICC2,1=0,86 (IC 95%: 0,70-0,91), 0,76 (IC 95%: 0,59-0,85) y 0,76 (IC 95%: 0,56- 0,85), respectivamente.

Conclusión

El SC-CHDII-Ar es un instrumento comprensible, válido y fiable para determinar las necesidades de autoatención de los pacientes con CHD en Arabia Saudita.
