Abstract
Background and Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to establish the validity and reliability of a perceived medication knowledge and confidence survey instrument (Okere-Renier Survey). Methods: Two-stage psychometric analyses were conducted to assess reliability (Cronbach's α >.70) of the associated knowledge scale. To evaluate the construct validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed three subscale measures and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated an acceptable fit to the data (goodness-of-fit index [GFI = 0.962], adjusted goodness-of-fit index [AGFI = 0.919], root mean square residual [RMR = 0.065], root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.073). A high internal consistency with Cronbach's α of .833 and .744 were observed in study Stages 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusions: The Okere-Renier Survey is a reliable instrument for predicting patient-perceived level of medication knowledge and confidence.
