Self Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory - Patient Version
Coronary heart disease (CHD) requires a significant amount of self-care. We used the Self-Care of Chronic Illness theory to develop the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (SC-CHDI). We developed a 22-item measure of self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management appropriate for persons with stable CHD and tested it in a convenience sample of adults, as described in these publications (Dickson VV et al, (2017) Psychometric Testing of the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (SC-CHDI), Research in Nursing & Health, 40(1), 15-22. DOI 10.1002/nur.21755 and Dickson VV et al (2023). Psychometric testing of the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Index Version 3.0. Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2023, 38(4), E131-E140. PMID: 36288481, DOI: 10.1097/JCN.0000000000000952).
