The Cross-Cultural Adaptation for Assessment of Chronic Illness Care Questionnaire Into Indonesian Version.

Abstract

This study aimed to translate and adapt the Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (ACIC) version 3.5 into Indonesian version (ACIC-ID) and examine its validity and reliability as a practical tool for quality care measurement. A 3-phase process according to the World Health Organization Guideline for Instruments Translation and Adaptation was followed: (1) translation process by independent translators and adaptation by multidisciplinary expert panel review, (2) pretesting and face validity followed by cognitive interviewing with 10 general practitioners, and (3) final testing on 31 general practitioners for internal consistency and item-total correlation analysis. As a result, the content of ACIC-ID and the original version were conceptually equivalent. This version achieved excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.97), and item-total correlation was high (Pearson's r > 0.30) for the majority of items. The findings indicate that ACIC-ID is valid and reliable to identify areas that need to be improved in increasing the quality of chronic care.
