Description
Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease Symptom Burden Index (CKD-SBI) is an instrument measuring symptom
burden developed by Almutary and colleagues in 2015 to refine the identification of symptom burden in chronic
kidney disease population. This instrument has not been tested for Indonesian language, thus, the aim of study was
to translate and psychometrically testing the Indonesian version of CKD-SBI.
Methods: This study design was cross-sectional study. The study methods were divided into translation and
psychometric testing. The translation was conducted by adapting Guillemin and Beaton's guidelines. The
psychometric properties determined 320 hemodialysis patients with several inclusion criteria such as above 18 years
old, regularly receiving hemodialysis for more than 3 months. Patients with cognitive impairment, psychiatric patients,
and in critical condition were excluded.
Results: The item content validity index of the Indonesian version was 0.92, and the subscale content validity was
0.78. The instrument demonstrated convergent validity with the Kidney Disease Quality of Life. Excellent internal
consistency was demonstrated based on a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .91 and a subscale ranging from 0.86 to
0.92. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the five factors of English Version did not fit the Indonesian
version. The parallel analysis suggested that five factors be retained from the distress and frequency dimensions
because they were statistically and conceptually acceptable.
Conclusions: Translated Indonesian versions of CKD-SBI can be used as instruments to assess symptom burden
among patients with hemodialysis. By assessing symptom burden, we hope nurses in the hospital are able to decide
effective symptom management to increase the health-related quality of life among these populations.
