Abstract:

 Purpose: Chronic liver disease CLD is a major public health problem worldwide and it leads to increase in morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire CLDQ in Turkish patients with Chronic liver disease CLD. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the methodological research design. Using a convenience sampling method 235 patients with CLD in a university hospital, located in southern Turkey. The instruments psychometric properties were examined to determine factor analysis, criterion-related validity, internal consistency, interrater reliability. Results: The patients average age was 55.4812.02 years. Viral hepatitis was the most common etiology of CLD 53.6. The total sample had a mean CLDQ score of 4.731.12. The factor analysis revealed that the scale consists of six sub-dimensions. No item was removed from the original scale. Cronbachs alpha coefficient was found as 0.95. Conclusion: Valid and reliable measurement tools are needed to evaluate health related quality of life HRQoL in patients with liver disease. Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire is a valid and reliable measurement instrument.
