摘　　要：Objective:To investigate the psychometric properties of the self-care behavior scale in heart failure(HF)patients.The development of self-care behaviors is one of the goals of non-pharmacological care management programs.Methods:After translating the European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior scale(EHFScBS),validity was assessed through explanatory factor analysis;additionally,reliability was assessed through Cronbach alpha and test-retest.The samples comprised of 120 HF patients admitted to hospitals in Tehran during 2017-2018.Results:The mean age of the samples was 67.3±14.04 years.Fifty-four patients(45%)were female.All items of the scale had an acceptable factor loading.Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.72.The intra-cluster correlation coefficient(ICC)was 0.69.Conclusions:Nurses and clinicians could benefit from the Persian version of HF self-care scale since it would enable them to rapidly assess patients’self-care behaviors and to evaluate the effectiveness of the HF management.
