Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Economic Toxicity Scale for Kidney Transplantation Patients, and to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Methods:Drawing upon Coleman′s social capital theory and the six subfields associated with economic toxicity put forward by European scholars, the initial version of the scale was developed via expert correspondence consultation and a preliminary survey. This was accomplished by building upon existing literature and conducting semi-structured interviews. A total of 261 cases of kidney transplantation patients from March to October 2022 admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University were investigated for reliability and validity test.Results:The Economic Toxicity Scale for Kidney Transplantation Patients included 6 dimensions, 31 entries. The total scale had a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.910 and the subscale had Cronbach alpha coefficient ranging from 0.798 to 0.943. The retest reliability coefficient for the total scale was 0.948, while the six dimensions ranged from 0.732 to 0.942.Conclusions:The scale demonstrates strong reliability and validity, making it a reliable tool for objectively evaluating the economic toxicity of kidney transplantation patients.
