Abstract:
Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the perineal assessment tool (PAT),and explore its applicability in domestic patients with incontinence.Methods A convenience sample of 100 patients were recruited for evaluation.The patients with incontinence were assessed for lAD risk using the Chinese version of PAT.The reliability tests were conducted on internal consistency,interrater,test-retest,and the validity tests were conducted on content validity index(CVI),exploratory factor analysis,receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC).Results The Chinese version of PAT comprised 4 items,Cronbach's α was 0.512,and items related to the total score was appropriate; inter-rater reliability was 0.889; test-retest reliability was 0.791.CVI was 0.95.Exploratory analysis showed that the most interpretable solution consisted of 2 factors.The accumulative variance contribution explained 67.397％ of variance of the total scale.Predictive validity was moderate,the best cut-off point was determined at 6.5 points.Conclusions Due to the special design,its internal consistency reliability was low; content validity was relatively sufficient,but it still needs further revision and test.Inter-rater reliability,test-retest reliability,construct validity,predictive validity was generally good,and it could be used as the screening tool of IAD risk.The results prompt PAT could be used as a benchmark,and we can adjust the entry of PAT to provide a more accurate IAD predicting tool by studying the IAD risk factors.
