Approximately 70% of people with epilepsy could become seizure-free with appropriate antiseizure therapy. Beliefs may play an important role in medication adherence according to the Health Belief Model. The Belief about Medicines Questionnaire–Specific (BMQ-S) was developed to assess individuals’beliefs about medicines, yet few studies have examined its application among caregivers of CWE in China.  \nObjective: The study aimed to verify the validity and reliability of the Chinese BMQ-S among caregivers of CWE.  \nMaterials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, from June 2021 to May 2024. The Chinese version of the BMQ-S, originally validated for depression, was adapted for use in this study. After obtaining informed consent, participants were asked to complete a general information questionnaire and the Chinese BMQ-S. Reliability was assessed using McDonald’s omega in SPSS 26 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA), and construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis in Mplus 8.1 (Muthén & Muthén, Los Angeles, CA, USA) . The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale was used to assess medication adherence of CWE. The relationship between BMQ-S and adherence was explored using the binary logistic regression analysis.  \nResults: A total of 2,730 caregivers were recruited, of whom 2,405 (88 .01%) completed the survey. The children of participants included 1,283 (53 .35%) boys and 1,122 (46 .65%) girls, ranging in age from 0.08 to 17.80 years. McDonald’somega values were 0.808 for BMQ-necessity and 0.709 for BMQ-concern. Confirmatory factor analysis showed the following fit indices for the final twofactor model: comparative fit index = 0.975, Tucker–Lewis index = 0.964, standardized root mean square residual ","cbCaiiIIty9gSxp4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiIIty9gSxp4","pdf",789234,"English","# Introduction\n# Objective\n# Materials and methods\n# Results\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this study?\",\"answer\":\"To verify the validity and reliability of the Chinese Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire–Specific (BMQ-S) among caregivers of children with epilepsy.\"},{\"question\":\"How was reliability assessed in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Reliability was evaluated using McDonald’s omega in SPSS 26.\"},{\"question\":\"Did BMQ-S scores significantly predict medication adherence?\",\"answer\":\"No. The study found no statistically significant association between BMQ-S scores and medication adherence.\"}]","Validity and reliability of the Chinese beliefs about medicines questionnaire–specific in caregivers of children with Epilepsy | PDF",1790610800]
