Abstract:
Objective:To translate the Family Caregiver Conflict Scale (FCCS) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the Brislin model, the Chinese version of FCCS was formed by conducting proper translation, back translation, proofreading, expert consultation, and pre-investigation. From January to May 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 240 caregivers of stroke inpatients in the Neurology Department of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Hospital as the research subject to test the reliability and validity of the scale. After 14 days, 30 caregivers were randomly selected for retesting. A total of 240 questionnaires were distributed, and 232 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.667%.Results:The Chinese version of FCCS consisted of 15 items. The item-level content validity index were 0.833 to 1.000, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.933. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.668%. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.920, with Cronbach's α coefficients for each dimension ranging from 0.823 to 0.951. The Guttman half coefficient was 0.821. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.882, and the test-retest reliability coefficients for each dimension ranged from 0.622 to 0.825.Conclusions:The Chinese version of FCCS has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an assessment tool for family conflicts in caregivers of stroke patients.
