Revision of Simplified Chinese Version of the Physical Resilience Instrument for Older Adults and Its Reliability and Validity Test
Objective To revise the traditional Chinese version of the physical resilience instrument for older adults(PRIFOR)and to test its reliability and validity among elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis,and to provide an effective measurement tool for the assessment of physical resilience(PR)in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods The traditional Chinese version of PRIFOR was revised through expert consultation and pre-survey.398 elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis from 2 tertiary A hospitals in Henan Province were selected by convenience sampling method for questionnaire survey,and the reliability and validity of simplified Chinese version of PRIFOR was evaluated.Results The simplified Chinese version of PRIFOR contained 16 items,the content validity index of the items was 0.833-1.000,and the content validity of the scale was 0.906.Three common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 72.526%.The fitting degree of confirmatory factor model is good.The correlation coefficient with Barthel index scale was 0.730(P<0.01).The total Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.935,the total broken half reliability was 0.895,and the retest reliability was 0.926.Conclusions The simplified Chinese version of PRIFOR has good reliability and validity and is suitable for assessing the PR of elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis in China.
