Abstract

This study was conducted to adapt the Adherence to Asthma Medication Questionnaire (AAMQ-13) into Turkish.

The research was conducted in the pulmonology outpatient clinic of a state hospital in Nigde/Turkey. The sample consisted of 229 volunteers with asthma for at least one year. First, language and content validity were assessed. After evaluating the language validity and content validity of the questionnaire, internal consistency, split-half reliability, and construct validity were examined. Questionnaire and demographic data were analyzed using numbers, percentages, dependent and independent groups t-tests, correlation analysis.

Results

The AAMQ-13-TR has a Cronbach’s alpha (α) score of 0.90 (p < 0.001). It has a split-half reliability coefficient of 0.86. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) shows that the factor structure of the AAMQ-13-TR agrees well with the two-factor model of the original questionnaire.

This study presented sources of evidence of validity of AAMQ-13-TR in Turkish population.
