Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Acute Coronary Syndrome Response Index

Meryem Yıldız Ayvaz, Nuray Enç

Objective: This research was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Response Index, which is used to evaluate patient’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about the symptoms of ACS.

Materials and Methods: The methodologic study was conducted between March-October 2015 in a cardiology service of a research university and constitutes a sample of 165 patients who were diagnosed as having ACS. For linguistic validation, an expert panel of six academicians was formed, with the Turkish form being finalized according to their recommendations. Confirmatory factor analyses were performed for the construct validity.

Results: The Kuder-Richardson 20 formula for the first subscale was determined as 0.73, and Cronbach’s alpha of reliability was 0.83 for the second subscale and 0.66 for the third subscale. The test was repeated to evaluate the invariance of the scale and its subscales with respect to time, with no difference being determined between the two implementations (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: The Turkish version of the ACS Response Index has been found to be a valid and reliable tool for the Turkish population.

Keywords: Acute coronary syndrome, reliability, validity, treatment delay
