Abstract:
Objective To translate the self-assessment of fall risk questionnaire for hospitalized patients (SAFR) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of the instrument.Methods After obtaining permission from the original author, we translated the SAFR to Chinese and to do back-translation as well as cultural adjustment. And then, the Chinese version of SAFR was confirmed and its content validity was tested. Besides, the retest reliability, internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the Chinese version of SAFR were tested in nursing unit of our hospital.Results The Chinese version of SAFR was with high reliability and validity with 0.80 for the retest reliability ICC (P<0.05) and 0.688 for the Cronbach's α reliability coefficient. The content validity index (CVI) was 0.97 with the method of Delphi expert consultation. The construct validity of the instrument was measured by factor analysis. There were two common factors (eigenvalue >1) extracted by exploratory factor analysis with 57.588% for the cumulative variance contribution rate.Conclusions The Chinese version of SAFR has high reliability and validity with convenient and fast operation. The instrument can be considered a primary screening instrument of self-assessment of fall risk for hospitalized patients.
