Abstract:
Objective To translate the English version of 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for CAM-Defined Delirium (3D-CAM) into Chinese, and to test the reliability of the Chinese version of 3D-CAM. Methods From August to November 2017, a total of 100 patients in Stroke Department, Respiratory Department and Orthopedics Department from a ClassⅢ hospital in Beijing were selected by convenient sampling to participate in the study. The patients were tested 194 times with the Chinese version 3D-CAM by two researchers concurrently. Epidata 3.1 and SPSS 21.0 statistic software were applied for data input and analysis respectively. The interobserver reliability was expressed by Kappa value, and the Cronbach's α coefficient was used to represent internal consistency reliability. Results The Kappa value of two researchers using 3D-CAM was 0.787, and the value of the four features from 1 to 4 were 0.774, 1.000, 0.903 and 0.797 respectively. The Cronbach's α values of the Chinese version 3D-CAM were 0.823 and 0.835 respectively. It took 3 minutes in average to complete the 3D-CAM. Conclusions The internal consistency of the Chinese version 3D-CAM is high, and the interobserver consistency when evaluating delirium is high, which can be used to assess the delirium of general ward elderly patients in China.
