Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Caregiver Participation Behavior Questionnaire for Elderly Stroke Home Health Management and conduct psychometric evaluation.Methods:Based on the WHO policy framework of active aging, an initial questionnaire pool was constructed through review extensive literature. The initial questionnaire was revised through expert meeting, pilot survey and semantic debugging of the subject. Using multi-stage sampling, 336 caregivers of elderly stroke patients at home in Shanghai were selected from July 2021 to January 2022 to conduct a survey and test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire, and finally a formal questionnaire was formed. A total of 336 questionnaires were distributed. After removing 31 invalid questionnaires that were dropped out of the survey due to personal reasons of some subjects and missing answers, 305 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 90.77% (305/336) .Results:The formal questionnaire included 6 dimensions and 33 items. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 6 common factors, including self-cognition adjustment, community resource utilization, lifestyle change, disease symptom treatment, psychological support, and adherence to rehabilitation exercise. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 81.06%. The item level content validity index was 0.827 to 1.000, and the scale level content validity index was 0.917. The total questionnaire Cronbach's α was 0.887, the split half reliability coefficient was 0.839, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.812.Conclusions:The reliability and validity of the questionnaire are in line with the statistical test standard, which can be used as a reliable tool to evaluate caregivers' participation behavior in the elderly stroke home health management.
