RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Perseverance in applying the therapy is an important determinant of its success, but evaluation of perseverance is extremely complex, and therefore, alternative method of processing the results by the Culig's questionnaire of perseverance is presented. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: Psychometric properties of the questionnaire on a sample of 225 examinees have been calculated and the factor structure of indicators that make up the scale is presented. RESULTS: Psychometric properties calculated in an alternative way are significantly better than the original, especially when it comes to reliability and representativeness of the questionnaire. CONCLUSION: This method of data analysis raises the possibility of multivariate data processing on the Culig's questionnaire, which is important for further research.
