Psychometric Analysis of the Health Self-Care Neglect Scale

CONCLUSION: The results of this analysis indicate that the HSCN scale is reliable, stable, and valid as a measure of health self-care neglect when tested in a sample of caregivers. The HSCN scale measures the successful performance of self-care, whereas existing measures of self-care reflect intention. Understanding both intention and behavior is useful, so we recommend using the HSCN scale in addition to existing measures of self-care.PMID:37755707 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000001047
