- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was the development and psychometric evaluation of a questionnaire which measures barriers and facilitators of medication adherence of patients with cardiovascular diseases in medical rehabilitation., Methods: A total of 133 inpatients in medical rehabilitation returned the questionnaire in a cross-sectional study in one center of cardiological rehabilitation. The dimensional analysis of the instrument was conducted by explorative factor analysis (EFA)., Results: The questionnaire "Freiburger Fragebogen zur Medikamentenadhärenz (FF-MedAd)" consists of 30 items distributed among 8 factors. Five of these factors represent barriers (e. g. forgetting/interchanging) and 3 facilitators (e. g. trust, communication) of medication adherence. Five scales have acceptable to good internal consistency with Cronbachs α between 0.72 and 0.87. Three scales were just below the acceptable range (0.61-0.67). Correlations between the FF-MedAd scales indicate the factorial validity of the questionnaire., Conclusion: The psychometric results of the FF-MedAd to measure self-estimated medication adherence of patients with cardiovascular diseases were satisfactory., Competing Interests: Die Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)
