Abstract:
Objective To translate self-care in spinal cord injuries inventory(SC-SCII)into Chinese and evaluate its reliability and validity,therefore to provide medical staff with a tool for evaluation of self-care behaviour of patients.Methods Brislin translation model was adopted for forward translation,back-translation,cultural adaptation and pilot testing in the development of Chinese version of SC-SCII.Convenience sampling was used to recruit 207 patients with spinal cord injury(SCI)from three Tier-IIIA hospitals in Xi'an between January 2024 and March 2025 for the purpose of assessing the reliability and validity of the translated inventory.Results A total of 202 patients completed the study.The finalised Chinese version of SC-SCII encompassed 4 dimensions with a total of 35 items,with the same structure as the original SC-SCII.Scale-level content validity index was 0.948,and the item-level content validity indices ranged from 0.912 to 1.000.Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis:self-care maintenance(12 items),self-care monitoring(8 items),self-care management(8 items)and self-care self-efficacy(7 items),cumulatively accounting for 61.402%of the total variance.The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.820 and the Cronbach's α coefficients of the four dimensions were 0.935,0.905,0.921 and 0.892,respectively.The split-half reliability was 0.798,and the two-week retest reliability was 0.875.No statistically significant difference was observed between the original and sinicised scales(paired t-test,P>0.05),indicating a high cross-time stability of the sinicised scale.Conclusion The Chinese version of SC-SCII demonstrates a good reliability and validity,making it a suitable tool in evaluation of self-care abilities in SCI patients.
