Examining the factor structure of MUIS-C scale among baby boomers with hepatitis C.
Applied Nursing Research : ANR 2016 November
BACKGROUND: Baby boomers account for two out of every three cases of hepatitis C infection in the U.S.
PURPOSE: To conduct an exploratory factor analysis directed at supporting the use of the MUIS-C as a reliable instrument in measuring illness uncertainty among baby boomers with hepatitis C.
METHODS: The steps of conducting a typical principal component analysis (PCA) with an oblique rotation were used on a sample of 146 participants, the sampling adequacy of items was examined via the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure, and the Bartlett's sphericity test was used for appropriateness of conducting a factor analysis.
RESULTS: A two-factor structure was obtained by using Horn's parallel analysis method. The two factors explained a cumulative total of 45.8% of the variance.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the analyses indicated that the MUIS-C was a valid and reliable instrument and potentially suitable for use in baby boomer population diagnosed with hepatitis C.
