Abstract

Background

In Chinese intervention studies, the lack of specific self-care scales based on the functional characteristics of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has caused patients and researchers to spend a great deal of time completing multiple related scales during the research work. Therefore, the arthritis Self-Care Behaviors Scale (SCBS) was developed to evaluate the self-care behavior of patients with arthritis.

Objective

The objectives of this study were to translate the SCBS into Chinese and test its psychometric properties in Chinese patients with RA.

Methods

The SCBS (English version) was translated to Chinese using Brislin's forward and backward translation method. A total of 414 adults with RA completed the Chinese version of the SCBS. Item analysis, content validity, construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and test–retest reliability were used to test its psychometric properties.

Results

Item analysis showed that the SCBS (Chinese version) has good discrimination and consistency. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.873 of the content validity index (CVI). Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated a five-factor solution, which is different from the traditional one. The results of the five common factor models indicated that the revised Chinese version of SCBS had good construct validity. The test–retest coefficient was 0.82, supporting adequate reliability.

Conclusion

The Chinese version of the SCBS is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate RA patients' self-care behavior in China. However, further research into different economic levels, education levels, and age groups would broaden the scope of the Chinese version of the SCBS.

中文版关节炎自我照顾行为量表的心理测量特征。

背景：在中国的干预研究中，由于缺乏针对类风湿性关节炎（RA）患者功能特征的特异性自我保健量表，导致患者和研究者在研究工作中花费大量时间完成多个相关量表。为此，我们编制了关节炎自我护理行为量表（SCBS）来评价关节炎患者的自我护理行为。目的：本研究的目的是将SCBS翻译成中文，并测试其在中国RA患者中的心理测量特性。方法：采用布里斯林正反译法将SCBS（英文版）翻译成中文。共有414名成人RA患者完成了中文版SCBS。采用项目分析、内容效度、构念效度、内部一致性信度和重测信度对其心理测量特性进行检验。结果：项目分析表明，中文版SCBS具有良好的辨别力和一致性。内容效度指数（CVI）的Cronbach’s alpha系数为0.873。探索性因子分析显示了一个不同于传统的五因子解决方案。五个共同因子模型的结果表明，修订后的中文版SCBS具有良好的结构效度。重测系数为0.82，信度足够。结论：中文版SCBS是评估中国RA患者自我保健行为的一种可靠有效的工具。然而，对不同经济水平、教育水平和年龄群体的进一步研究将扩大中文版SCBS的范围。
