Abstract:
Objective To translate the good death inventory-short form(GDI-SF)into Chinese and test its reliability and validity among bereaved family members of cancer patients.Methods A Chinese version of GDI-SF was created through translation,reconciliation,back translation,expert panel review and pilot testing.Then the inventory was administered to 699 bereaved family members of cancer patients recruited by convenience sampling.Reliability and validity were assessed.Results Toally 305 family members finished the study.The item-level content validity index(I-CVI)and average content validity index(S-CVI/Ave)were both 1.00.Exploratory factor analysis yielded 5 common factors:professional medical care(6 items),preparation for farewell(4 items),dignity and life value(4 items),natural death and moral support(2 items),and physical and mental comfort(2 items).These factors explained 52.176%of total variance.Overall Cronbach α coefficient of the Chinese version GDI-S was 0.779,and split-half reliability was 0.731.The Pearson correlation coefficient range between the score of each item of the Chinese version of GDI-SF and the score of its corresponding dimension was 0.591 to 0.769(P<0.01).Conclusion The Chinese version GDI-SF exhibits acceptable reliability and validity assessment of the quality of good dying in cancer patients from the perspective of bereaved family members.
