Abstract: Objective To translate the English version of Heart Continuity of Care Questionnaire (HCCQ) into Chinese and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HCCQ in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients and atrial fibrillation (AF).Methods Totally 339 patients with CHF (n=170) and AF (n=169) were recruited and were investigated by the Chinese version of HCCQ.Results The internal consistency coefficient of the Chinese version of HCCQ ranged from 0.821 to 0.913,both above 0.7.The split half coefficient was 0.649,and test-retest reliability was 0.812,which demonstrated better internal consistency.The content validity index was 0.940.Factor analysis got three factors,which explain 47.059％ of the total variance.Conclusions The Chinese version of HCCQ has been proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used as a valid tool for the measurement of heart continuity in cardiac patients.
