Aims To translate and psychometrically test the modified chronic kidney disease self‐management instrument in Vietnamese language. Background Research on chronic kidney disease self‐management is increasing although few patient‐reported outcome measures are available in other languages. Design This study involved instrument modification, translation, and cultural adaptation into Vietnamese followed by psychometric evaluation in a target population. Methods Following modification, the instrument was translated by bilingual independent translators, and then an expert panel assessed content face validity. Reliability of the instrument was assessed by internal consistency and test‐retest reliability in a sample of 293 people with chronic kidney disease. Then exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate construct validity of the Vietnamese version. Results The Vietnamese chronic kidney disease self‐management instrument demonstrated excellent content face validity and internal consistency. The test‐retest indicated good stability of the instrument over a 2‐week period. Four factors were identified using exploratory factor analysis and were named understanding my kidney disease, taking action to manage my kidney disease, seeking social support, and adhering to a healthy diet. Conclusions The translated and modified version is a valid, reliable, and feasible patient‐reported outcome measure of self‐management behaviour in Vietnamese‐speaking populations.
