Validation of a three-factor measurement model of dyspnea in hospitalized adults with heart failure
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to validate a 3-factor measurement model of dyspnea sensory quality (WORK-EFFORT, TIGHTNESS, SMOTHERING-AIR HUNGER) originally derived in patients with exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.MethodsIn this validation study, adult patients with heart failure were enrolled after hospital admission (median hospital day 1) and asked to rate the intensity of dyspnea sensory quality descriptors on the day of enrollment (study day 1; N = 119) and in a recall version for the day of admission (study day 0; n = 97).ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good model fit for both days. Cronbach’s α for each factor was greater than .87 for both study days.ConclusionThis is the first study to validate a previously specified measurement model of dyspnea sensory quality in an independent sample. Results indicate that measurement of dyspnea sensory quality in exacerbated cardiopulmonary disease does not necessarily require disease-specific questionnaires.
