Psychometric testing of the Thai version of Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory version 2.

Aim: To assess the psychometric properties of the Thai version of Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory version 2 (CC-SC-CII-v2) among primary caregivers of individuals with any single or multiple chronic illnesses.

Background: The instrument encompasses three scales that evaluate Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care (CC-SC) Maintenance, Monitoring and Management.

Methods: The English version CC-SC-CII-v2 was translated and adapted for Thai context, and a cross-sectional multicenter study involved 430 caregivers from 16 primary care centres in Thailand.

Exploring factors associated with hypertension self-care in primary care: The role of nurse education levels and patient-related factors.

Aim: To explore the association between nurse education levels and patient-related factors with hypertension self-care.

Background: Although self-care development is recognized as a healthcare provider-patient encounter, the attribution of nurse education level to hypertension self-care is not well addressed.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Thai version of Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory Version 4.c.

Objectives: To translate and validate the Thai Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory version 4.c (Thai SC-CII v4.c) in individuals with chronic illnesses.

Sex-based differences in risk of cardiovascular disease development and cardiovascular risk factors among individuals with hypertension: A cross-sectional study from primary care facilities.

Background: Over the last two decades, the understanding of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has expanded in Asian countries. Despite this progress, there have been limited investigations into sex-based differences in the development of CVD and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs).

Aim: We investigated whether males and females with hypertension had different risks of developing CVD and CVRFs.

Evaluating the Dimensionality and Reliability of the Thai Self-Care of Hypertension Inventory Version 2.0.

Purpose: Self-care is essential for hypertensive individuals to promote optimal health and illness treatment. We developed the Thai Self-Care of Hypertension Inventory (SC-HI) version 2.0 from the original US version using a multi-stage approach for cross-cultural adaptation.

Translation and Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Self-care of Hypertension Inventory for Thais With Hypertension.

Background: Self-care is essential for treating hypertension by lowering and controlling blood pressure, to ultimately reduce cardiovascular disease. A valid and reliable hypertension self-care measure is needed for the Thai population.

Objective: The aim of this study was to translate a cross-cultural adaptation of the Self-care of Hypertension Inventory (SC-HI) into Thai and conduct a pretest of the Thai SC-HI (version 2.
