Abstract:
Objective To sinicize the long and short forms of the English version of the visually induced mo-tion sickness susceptibility questionnaire(VIMSSQ)and to test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the questionnaire among college students.Methods The Chinese version of the VIMSSQ was sinicized using Brislin's translation model,the translated scale was cross-culturally adapted through expert consultation.At last,the Chinese version of the questionnaire survey was conducted among 757 college students,and 80 college students were selected to fill out the simulator sickness questionnaire(SSQ)at the same time to do a correlation analysis in order to verify the predictive efficacy of the scale,and the reliability and validity results of the scale were analyzed to form the Chinese version of the VIMSSQ.Results The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the long form question-naire was 0.94,and the alpha coefficients of the five factors were 0.85,0.85,0.85,0.84,and 0.83 respectively.The total retest reliability was 0.79,and the retest reliabilities of the five factors were 0.73,0.77,0.76,0.66,and 0.62 respectively.The split-half reliability was 0.84.The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the short form ques-tionnaire was 0.83,and the retest reliability was 0.81,and the split-half reliability was 0.77.The item-level con-tent validity index(I-CVI)for the long and short forms and the average scale-level content validity(scale-level con-tent validity index/average,S-CVI/Ave)were both 1.VIMSSQ scores for both the long and short forms were sig-nificantly correlated with the SSQ,with r=0.76(P＜0.001)between the long form and the SSQ,and with r=0.77(P＜0.001)between the short form and the SSQ.Conclusion The Chinese version of the VIMSSQ has good reliability and validity among college students,and can be used as a measurement tool to evaluate college students'susceptibility to visually induced motion sickness.
