Abstract:
Objective To translate the Urinary Incontinence Awareness and Attitude Scale(URINAS)and test its reliability and validity.Methods The Chinese version of the URINAS was developed by Brislin's translation model for translation,back translation,cultural adaptation,and pilot investigation.A convenience sampling method was used to select 384 urinary incontinence patients who visited a tertiary hospital in Nanchang,Jiangxi Province from June 2024 to October 2024 for investigation,in order to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The Chinese version of the URINAS consisted of 5 dimensions with 26 entries.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this scale was 0.843;the folded half reliability was 0.917;the retest reliability was 0.852.The content validity of the scale at the level of the entries ranged from 0.846 to 1.000,and that at the level of the scale was 0.979.A total of 5 metrics were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.286％.The results of the validation factor analysis showed a chi-square/degree of freedom of 2.268,a root mean square error of approximation of 0.064,a standardized fit index of 0.916,a Tucker-Lewis index of 0.923,a comparative fit index of 0.906,and a goodness-of-fit index of 0.922.Conclusion The URINAS has good reliability and validity,and can better reflect the level of patients' cognition and attitude towards urinary incontinence,thus providing theoretical basis for the development of corresponding intervention programs for such patients.
