Journal Title: Eurasian Journal of Family Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to perform the internal reliability analysis of the “Patient Activation Measure”, which was developed by Hibbard et al. Methods: The study covered 32 female and 17 male patients that applied to the Family Medicine Clinic of the Medical School of Trakya University between the dates of 01 February-01 March 2016 and consented to be included in the study. The patients were randomly-selected and they were between the ages of 20-64. After the “Patient Activation Measure’ was translated into Turkish language, a 20-Item socio-demographic survey and the 13-Item Patient Activation Measure were applied through face-to-face interviews. Results: The average age of 32 female and 17 male patients was 36.8. The Cronbach’s alpha of internal reliability coefficient of the measure was computed as 0.887. The patients’ scores were between 0 and 100, and their mean score was computed as 52.1. Conclusion: The results of the analysis performed with adults between the ages of 20-64 concluded that the internal reliability of the measure was sufficiently high.
