Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Brief Medication Questionnaire
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to adapt the Brief Medication Questionnaire (BMQ), a scale that screens the barriers to adherence to treatment, into Turkish and to test validity and reliability of it..
Materials and Methods: The study was included 106 patients with hypertension and using antihypertensive drugs aged 18 years and over. Translation and adaptation processes were carried
out following the steps recommended by World Health Organization. Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale was administered simultaneously to the participants. Cronbach's alpha was used to analyze the internal consistency of the scale.
Results: Of the participants, 65 were female and 41 were male, with a mean systolic blood pressure of 140.6±20.1 mmHg, a mean diastolic blood pressure of 80.8±11.2 mmHg, and a mean heart rate of
80.4±11.5 beats/min. According to Hill-Bone, 79 people (74.5%) had, and according to BMQ, 46 people (43.4%) had adherence problems. The most common reasons for non-adherence were regime (28.3%) and access (19.8%). The Cronbach’s alpha score of BMQ was 0.616. There was a statistically positive significant correlation between BMQ and Hill-Bone (r=0.81, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Turkish version of BMQ is valid and reliable instrument and can be used in the evaluation of medication adherence.
