O
Outcome
Psychometric properties including face validity, content validity, construct validity, and reliabilitypatient reported
The SCHFI v 6.2 was successfully adapted for use in Brazil, demonstrating acceptable validity and reliability for self-care management and confidence, though self-care maintenance reliability was low.
Limitations
- Further studies should be carried out to improve its psychometric properties.

Cite This Study
Ávila et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure. Brazilian version of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index v 6.2 was evaluated on Psychometric properties (face, content, and construct validity, and reliability). The Brazilian version of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index v 6.2 was successfully adapted, demonstrating convergent validity (r = -0.51) and scale reliabilities of 0.40, 0.82, and 0.93.
