Abstract

Objective

To determine the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Care Dependency Scale (CDS) for proxy assessments by nurses in Chinese nursing homes. The CDS is an excellent tool for measuring care dependency in many countries. The Chinese version of the CDS contributes additional data regarding the scale's use.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study of 184 older adults; 128 were re-evaluated after 2 weeks. Cronbach's alpha, the mean inter-item correlation, the inter-rater reliability and the test-retest reliability were used to analyze the reliability of the CDS. A factor analysis was carried out to find common dimensions between the CDS versions.

Results

The alpha coefficient of the CDS was 0.95. The subsequent inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities were analyzed in terms of the Kappa values, which were between 0.84 and 0.89; 0.83 and 0.92, respectively. Three factors were identified in the factor analysis.

Conclusions

The CDS is a suitable tool for assessing care dependency among elderly Chinese residents in nursing homes.

护理依赖量表:中文版的心理测量测试

目的确定中文版护理依赖量表(CDS)在中国养老院护士代理评估中的效度和信度。在许多国家，CDS是衡量护理依赖程度的极好工具。CDS的中文版提供了有关该比额表使用情况的额外数据。方法:这是一项184名老年人的横断面研究;2周后重新评估128例。采用Cronbach’s alpha、项目间平均相关系数、量表间信度和重测信度分析量表的信度。进行因子分析以找出cd版本之间的共同维度。结果CDS的α系数为0.95。后续的间测信度和重测信度以Kappa值进行分析，Kappa值在0.84 ~ 0.89之间;分别为0.83和0.92。因子分析确定了三个影响因素。结论CDS是一种适合评估中国养老院老年人护理依赖的工具。
