Abstract:
Objective:To translate the Wound Symptom Self-Assessment Chart (WoSSAC) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity among patients with malignant wounds in China.Methods:With authorization from the original author, the WoSSAC was translated into Chinese following Brislin's back-translation model, resulting in the Chinese version of WoSSAC. Convenience sampling was used to select 115 oncology patients with malignant wounds who were admitted to Beijing Cancer Hospital from June and December 2022 for a survey to validate the Chinese version of WoSSAC. Item analysis was used for item screening; content validity index and structural validity were used to test the validity of the scale. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability.Results:All 115 distributed questionnaires were completed and returned, yielding a 100% response rate. The Chinese version of WoSSAC consisted of 21 items divided into two parts: the severity of wound-related problems and the degree of impact on daily life. Exploratory factor analysis revealed two common factors from the section on the severity of wound-related problems, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 83.583%, and two common factors from the section on the degree of impact on dailly life, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 81.422%. The content validity index was 0.98 at the scale level and ranged from 0.80 to 1.00 at the item level. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the the section on the severity of wound-related problems was 0.979, with a split-half reliability of 0.924; for the section on the degree of impact on dailly life, Cronbach's α was 0.975, with a split-half reliability of 0.937. The test-retest reliability coefficients were 0.842 for the severity of wound-related problems and 0.903 for the degree of impact on daily life.Conclusions:The Chinese version of WoSSAC demonstrates good reliability and validity and can be used for self-assessment of the severity of malignant wound symptoms and their impact on daily life.
