Description
Summary:This cross-sectional validation study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and investigate the psychometric properties of a Thai version of the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (T-TUQ). Two hundred and ten Thai participants, mean age of 61.2±15.2 years, were recruited from three specialty clinics: 50 (23.8%) hematology, 70 (33.3%) movement disorders, and 90 (42.9%) general neurology. The T-TUQ was translated from the original English version to produce a Thai language version. Back translation and pilot cognitive interviews were completed. All five subscales (usefulness, ease of use, effectiveness, reliability, and satisfaction) showed excellent internal consistency (alpha >0.80), displayed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83, 0.94, 0.86, 0.83, and 0.92, respectively. For construct validity, exploratory factor analysis revealed two dimensions from eigenvalues and scree plot, defined as utility and accessibility subscales. In conclusion, the T-TUQ could be a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the usability of telehealth with a Thai population.
