ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Patients' attitude towards treatment is one of the most signifi cant factors which has determining eff ect on suffi cient adherence. Data are lacking on Hungarian patients' attitude towards psychiatric treatment, however, high prevalence of suicide suggests that eff ectiveness of psychiatric treatments need to be improved. To pave the way for such studies, we performed the validation of the recently developed Patients' Health Belief Questionnaire on Psychiatric Treatment (PHBQPT) in a sample of Hungarian psychiatric patients.METHODS:
We enrolled 188 Hungarian patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. The PHBQPT was translated into Hungarian by our group. Comparison of item and subscale mean scores with the original data are presented. Internal consistency, item-total and item-item correlations were calculated and factorial structure was analysed.RESULTS:
Single item means, the highest item score and subscale mean scores were similar to data published in the original article. The factorial analysis confi rmed the validity of a fi ve-subscale structure in our sample. The eff ects of gender and age were not signifi cant on any of the subscales.CONCLUSIONS:
The PHBQPT is a valid, reliable instrument with replicable psychometric properties. The Hungarian version is suitable for clinical practice and for further investigations on attitudes towards psychiatric treatment.Palavras-chave
