Background: Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory version 4c is a non-disease-specific self-care measure used in individuals with multiple chronic conditions. This instrument may be applied to patients with specific diseases such as stroke.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory version 4c in patients with stroke.
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.
Objectives: To evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Thai version of Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care (CC-SC) of Chronic Illness Inventory version 2 (CC-SC-CII-v2) in stroke caregivers.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional study following the COSMIN guidelines, evaluating validity and reliability of three separate scales, CC-SC Maintenance, CC-SC Monitoring, and CC-SC Management, as well as overall CC-SC-CII-v2. From September to December 2022, we enrolled 422 stroke caregivers from primary care centers in southern Thailand.
Aim: To test the validity and reliability of the Caregiver Self-Efficacy in Contribution to Self-Care Scale Thai Version (CC-Self Efficacy Scale (Thai)) for Stroke.
