Reliability and validity testing of the Revised Chinese Version of the Benefit Finding Scale among care-givers of children undergoing liver transplantation
Objective This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Revised Chinese Version of Benefit Finding Scale(BFS-RC)among caregivers of children undergoing liver transplantation.Methods Between January 2020 and July 2022,a convenience sampling method was employed to select 200 caregivers of children undergoing liver transplantation at a tertiary-level hospital in Hangzhou.The general information questionnaire for children with liver transplantation and their caregivers and the BFS-RC were utilized for data collection.The study subjects were investigated,and the scale's relia-bility and validity were evaluated.Results Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the KMO value of the scale was 0.899,and a total of 5 common factors were extracted,contributing to a cumulative variance rate of 65.226％.The Cronbach's a coefficient for the entire scale was 0.920,with coefficients for the 5 factors ranging from 0.774 to 0.884 and the total scale split-half reliablity was 0.828.The correlation coefficients between the items and the total score ranged from 0.366 to 0.750(P＜0.001).Conclusion The BFS-RC exhibits strong reliability and validity,making it a suitable tool for assessing the sense of benefit among caregivers of children undergoing liver transplantation.
