Objective:
To present the psychometric results of the validation study of the Living with Chronic illness scale in patients with hypertension (LW-hypertension) in Colombia.
Methods:
Observational, cross-sectional study with retest. There psychometric properties of feasibility/acceptability, reliability, precision, and construct validity were analyzed.
Results:
A total sample of 341 patients was included, where the 68% were female with an average age of 65 years old. The 100% of the data were computable. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.76. Regarding internal validity for the total scale was 0.90.
Conclusions:
The LW-hypertension scale is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate the living with hypertension degree in Colombia, becoming a clinical and easy instrument to facilitate a person centered care and not centered just on the disease.
