Chinese Translation of the Stanford Expectations of Treatment Scale and Its Application Evaluation on Traditional Chinese Medicine for Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Liver-Constraint and Spleen-Deficiency Syndrome
Objective To adapt the Stanford Expectations of Treatment Scale(SETS)into Chinese(C-SETS)and test the feasibility,validity and reliability of its application in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syn-drome(IBS-D)with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome treated with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Methods We obtained authorisation from the developer of the SETS,and followed the principle of"two-way translation"to translate the SETS by literal translation and back translation to form the C-SETS.Ninety-six IBS-D patients with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome were enrolled as respondents and filled out C-SETS be-fore receiving treatment;the feasibility was assessed by the recall rate,completion rate and the duration of filling out the scale;the reliability was assessed by Cronbach's α;the structural validity was assessed by exploratory and confir-matory factor analysis,and the content validity was assessed by correlation analysis.Results The C-SETS consists of 10 items,with the 1st,3rd,and 5th rating items constituting the Positive Expectations subscale,and the 2nd,4th,and 6th rating items constituting the Negative Expectations subscale,each of which is rated on a 7-point Likert Scale.The recall of C-SETS was 100％(96/96),the completion rate was 89.58％(86/96);Cronbach's α for the Positive and Negative Treatment Expectations subscales were 0.845 and 0.854,respectively;exploratory factor anal-ysis showed that the coefficient of commonality for all six entries was larger than 0.4,and that the six entries could be used by both factors to explain 77.092％of the total variance;validation factor analysis showed that the goodness-of-fit index,comparative fit index,root mean square of approximation error,canonical fit coefficient,and chi-square de-grees of freedom ratio took the values of 0.943,1.003,0,0.943,and 0.626,respectively;and the results of Spearman's analysis suggested that the C-SETS had good content validity.Conclusion The C-SETS has well feasi-bility,reliability,and validity,which initially proves that it can be used as a tool to assess the treatment expectation of patients with IBS-D with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome before receiving TCM treatment.
