Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the child uncertainty in illness scale among children with chronic illness
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To conduct an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the Child Uncertainty in Illness Scale (CUIS) with a sample of children and adolescents with a chronic health condition. Developmental differences in factor structure were also examined. METHODS: A sample of 373 children aged 8-18 years with chronic conditions completed the CUIS as a part of a larger battery of measures. RESULTS: The EFA yielded a 16-item two-factor model termed Unpredictability/Ambiguity and Comprehension. The CFA yielded a 14-item two-factor model that fits the data very well, where chi2(df = 74) = 95.396, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = .973, Tucker Lewis Index (TLI) = .967, and Root Mean Square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .038. No developmental differences were found in underlying factor structures: Deltachi2(df = 12) = 17.754, DeltaCFI = .004, DeltaTLI = -.001, and DeltaRMSEA = .000. CONCLUSIONS: The two-factor CUIS measure could be a useful tool for assessing illness uncertainty among children with chronic illness.

The 2-step EFA/CFA process reduces measurement error, creates more accurate SEM models, and allows greater confidence in the resulting analyses.
“This procedure is routinely adopted, reduces measurement error, creates more accurate SEM models, and allows for greater confidence in the resulting analyses [65–68].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
