Background: The Partners In Health (PIH) scale is the tool for assessment patients self-management. Self- management leads patients to coping their disease without medical officers. This quantitative study is to follow up on the validation of the Czech version of the PIH scale and to confirm their construct validity.

Aim: The aim of this study is to confirm construct validity of PIH scale using the factor analysis.

Methods: In the research, the PIH scale is applied as a tool for assessment self-management on the group of 432 patients with chronic cardiovascular disease. The results are processed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis.

Results: The exploratory factor analysis shows three factor solution which was then confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The values of Cronbach's alpha for the whole PIH scale and for the individual subscales are between 0.85-0.89 and show a high reliability of the PIH scale.

Conclusions: The results of this study provide information on the factor solution and the PIH scale reliability and confirm its good psychometric characteristics.

Keywords: self-management, chronic cardiovascular disease, PIH scale, reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis
