Abstract:
Objective To develop the Chinese version of multidimensional measure for recurrent ab-dominal pain scale(MM-RAP) and test the reliability and validity of it. Methods The Chinese version of MM-RAP was translated and revised and 100 children with recurrent abdominal pain and their parents were surveyed by it. Then the reliability and validity of the scale was tested. Results The teat-retest reliability coefficient of MM-RAP was 0.86. The total Cronbach's coefficient α of the scale was 0.80. Cronbach's coef-ficient α of each dimensions was above 0.70. The results of correlation analysis showed that there was higher correlation between items and its belonged dimensions than that with other dimensions. The results of confir-matory factor analysis indicated the factor structure was similar with the theoretical construction of the in-strument. Conclusions The Chinese version of MM-RAP demonstrated good reliability and validity and was an effective assessment instrument for measuring recurrent abdominal pain of Chinese children.
