摘要

Objective

To translate and validate the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) Questionnaire for use in Chinese ICU patient populations.

Methods

Authorization was secured via email from the original author of the questionnaire. Utilizing the Brislin translation model, the questionnaire underwent Sinicization and cultural adaptation to develop the initial Chinese version. A survey was carried out among 278 patients who were discharged from ICU in a tertiary hospital in China. The reliability and validity of the Chinese PICS questionnaire was then assessed.

Results

The Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) ranging from 0.84 to 1.0, the Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI) of 0.92, the Cronbach’s α coefficient of 0.903, and the split-half reliability greater than 0.8. The exploratory factor analysis indicated three dimensions with 18 items. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 68.445%. The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated good model fit.

Conclusion

The Chinese version of the PICS questionnaire exhibits robust reliability and validity, confirming its suitability for assessing Post-Intensive Care Syndrome in Chinese ICU patients.
