Abstract:
Objective:To develop an age-appropriate and disease-specific social adaptation measurement tool for adolescents infected with HIV in the context of Chinese culture, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:Through literature review and consultation with 8 experts, this study constructed the conceptual framework of social adaptation of adolescents infected with HIV and formulated the dimensions and items of the scale. The convenient sampling method was adopted, and questionnaires were distributed online and offline at Beijing Ditan Hospital, Xuzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Yunnan Provincial Infectious Disease Hospital from October 2020 to February 2021 for questionnaire validity testing. A preliminary age-specific and disease-adaptable Social Adaptation Scale for HIV Infected Adolescents was prepared using methods such as project analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The scale consisted of 3 dimensions of cognition, emotion and will, 5 variables, and a total of 23 items. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.856, and the split reliability was 0.836. The item-level content validity index ( I- CVI) of the scale was 0.750-1.000, the scale-level content validity index ( S- CVI) was 0.940, and the scale score and subjective well-being scale score were positivelycorrelated ( P<0.05) . Factor analysis extracted 5 common factors, and the cumulative explanatory variable was 61.156%. Conclusions:The scale has good reliability, validity and feasibility, which can be used as an evaluation tool for social adjustment of HIV-infected adolescents in China.
