Abstract:
Background: Religious health fatalism belief that health outcome is only determined by God
without seeking treatment. Tools are needed to measure fatalism among patients with chronic
disease, especially diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients. The aim of this study was to conduct
psychometric test of religious health fatalism questionnaire (RHFQ) including translation,
validation, reliability, and cut-off point among DFU out-patients.
Design and methods: This study employed cross sectional design, using self-report questionnaire.
Data were collected from diabetes clinic in five hospitals, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria were
patients who had history of DFU more than 2 years. Total sample in this study was 184 patients.
This study was conducted from April to June 2021. Permission to use the RHFQ was permitted by
the original author. We conducted translation and adaptation questionnaire to Bahasa. We
employed reliability test with internal consistency, construct validity, and convergent validity.
Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Cut-off point RHS was
analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC). ROC was evaluated using correlation
score between total score RHFQ and CDRISC-25 Indonesia version. Previous study mentioned
that resilience is a predictor of religious. The Cronbach’s alpha for RHFQ Indonesia version was
adequate.
Results: EF
