Abstract:Objective To make a Chinese version of the Braden QD Scale and test its reliability and validity. Methods After obtaining the permission from the author of the original Braden QD Scale, the scale was translated, back-translated, checked, cross-culturally adjusted and pilot tested to form the Chinese version.Convenient sampling method was used to select 323 hospitalized children to measure the reliability and validity of the Chinese version. Results The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.760 and the split-half reliability was 0.820.The new Cronbach′s α coefficients after the deletion of each item were lower than those before deletion, and the intra-group correlation coefficient was 0.991 (P<0.01).Both scale-level and item-level content validity indexes were 1.000.Two common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.959%.The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well. Conclusion The Chinese version of Braden QD Scale has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate the risk of pressure injury in hospitalized children in China.
