Abstract:
Objective:To translate the Perioperative Comfort Scale (PCS) into Chinese, and test its reliability and validity.Methods:After translation, expert correction, cultural adjustment, and pre-investigation, the items for the simplified Chinese version of PCS were determined. From October to December 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 225 surgical patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China as the research object. The patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire and the Chinese version of PCS. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity of the Chinese version of PCS, and Cronbach's α coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability of the scale. Spearman correlation analysis method was used to analyze the correlation between each dimension and the relationship between each dimension and the total scale. A total of 225 questionnaires were distributed, 218 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 96.9%.Results:The Chinese version of PCS extracted 4 factors by factor analysis, with a total of 18 items, and the cumulative total variance explanation rate was 61.511%. The content validity index of each item of the scale was 0.95, and the content validity index of item level was from 0.800 to 1.000. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.844, and the test-retest reliability of the scale was 0.749. Item analysis showed that the Spearman correlation coefficient of each item and the total scale score was>0.3 except for the sixteenth item whose correlation coefficient was 0.277.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the PCS has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the intraoperative comfort of patients without general anesthesia during the perioperative period.
