Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and validate the Stroke Symptom Cluster Scale for Korean Adults (SSCS-K) for stroke survivors.

Design: An exploratory sequential study with a mixed-methods design was performed.

Methods: In the development stage, a qualitative study with in-depth interviews was conducted with 27 stroke patients. The validation stage involved analyzing the psychometric properties from 288 stroke patients.

Findings: The SSCS-K comprising 65 items in six dimensions (mobility, cognition, sensory, mood, communication, and swallowing difficulty) demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .92-.94). Confirmatory factor analyses with a six-factor solution showed that it explained 62% of the variance in stroke symptoms. The concurrent validity was confirmed with the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (r = .38-.83, p < .001).

Conclusion: The SSCS-K has strong psychometric properties as a measure to assess clustered symptoms in stroke survivors during their long-term rehabilitation.

Clinical relevance: Rehabilitation nurses may consider the SSCS-K as a useful tool for assessing symptoms of stroke survivors.

韩国中风幸存者中风症状聚类量表的开发与验证:混合方法设计。

目的:本研究旨在开发和验证韩国成人中风症状群集量表(SSCS-K)。设计:采用混合方法设计进行探索性序贯研究。方法:在开发阶段，对27例脑卒中患者进行深入访谈的定性研究。验证阶段包括分析288例脑卒中患者的心理测量特征。结果:SSCS-K包括六个维度(行动能力、认知、感觉、情绪、沟通和吞咽困难)的65个项目，显示出可接受的内部一致性(Cronbach's α = 0.92 - 0.94)。采用六因素解决方案的验证性因素分析表明，它解释了62%的卒中症状差异。同时效度采用卒中特异性生活质量量表(r = 0.38 -)进行验证。83, p < 0.001)。结论:SSCS-K量表具有较强的心理测量特性，可用于评估脑卒中幸存者长期康复过程中的聚集性症状。临床相关性:康复护士可能会认为SSCS-K是评估中风幸存者症状的有用工具。
