Abstract

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to (i) develop a self-report instrument to measure adjustment to chronic illness, (ii) evaluate its core structure and (iii) study various psychometric properties in the development of this instrument.

Method: The entire process of developing and validating the instrument is conducted in different phases: item writing and content validation; exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to extract dimensions of the instrument; reliability and validity testing. A total of 1095 participants were included in the study. The EFA was run using IBM SPSS 23 and CFA was done by AMOS 21.

Results: The Cronbach alpha of the chronic illness adjustment scale was found to be .70. The instrument correlates positively with illness perception and well-being which supports the notion that the chronic illness adjustment scale has satisfactory convergent validity.

Discussion: The multifaceted nature of the chronic illness adjustment scale can serve as a global indicator of adjustment to chronic illness, allowing various interventions to flow toward the healthcare arena.

慢性病调整量表（CIAS）：开发和验证。

目的：本研究的目的是（i）开发一种自我报告工具来衡量对慢性病的适应，（ii）评估其核心结构，以及（iii）研究该工具开发过程中的各种心理测量特性。方法：仪器开发和验证的整个过程分为不同阶段：项目编写和内容验证；探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析法（CFA）提取工具维度；可靠性和有效性测试。共有1095名参与者参与了这项研究。结果：慢性病调整量表的Cronbachα为0.70。该工具与疾病感知和幸福感呈正相关，这支持了慢性病调整量表具有令人满意的收敛有效性的观点。讨论：慢性病调整量表的多方面性质可以作为慢性病调整的全球指标，使各种干预措施流向医疗保健领域。

期刊介绍： Chronic illnesses are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously, and are rarely completely cured. The most common are cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure), the arthritides, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and epilepsy. There is increasing evidence that mental illnesses such as depression are best understood as chronic health problems. HIV/AIDS has become a chronic condition in those countries where effective medication is available.
