Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of Transition Readiness Measure for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Transitional Period
Objective To verify reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Transition Readiness Measure for patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)in their transitional period.Methods Based on the classic transla-tion model of Brislin,the scale was adapted to the Chinese culture.The convenience sampling method was used to select a total of 345 patients with IBD in their transitional period from 5 tertiary A hospitals in Shanghai to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The I-CVI and the S-CVI/UA of the Chinese version of TRM were 0.8~1.0 and 0.94;three common factors were obtained with a cumulative variance contribution of 57.644%.The Cronbach's a coefficients of the total scale and each dimension were 0.932 and 0.761~0.867.The retest reliability,Spearman-Brown and Guttman's folded half reliabilities were 0.921,0.920 and 0.913.Conclusions The Chinese version of the TRM scale has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure the level of transition readi-ness of Chinese patients with IBD during their transitional period.
