Abstract:
Objective:To sinicize the Family Collaboration Scale (FCS) and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The FCS was translated into Chinese based on the forward translation-back translation proposed by Brislin model to make cross-cultural adjustment. The Chinese version of FCS was developed by forward translation, back translation, overall, expert consultation and pre-survey. From April 2022 to April 2023, 236 caregivers of the elderly patients in five tertiary hospitals in Beijing were evaluated to analyze the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:Finally, among the 230 caregivers of elderly patients, 65 males and 165 females, aged 21-84 (54.07 ± 11.17) years old. The Chinese version of FCS contained 3 dimensions and 21 items. The content validity index of the items was 0.86-1.00, scale-level content validity index/universal agreement was 0.86, the Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.908. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that all the model fitting indexes were at acceptable level. Conclusions:The Chinese version of FCS has good reliability and validity, and it can be used as a reliable measurement tool to measure the cooperative relationship between nurses and family caregivers of elderly patients.
