Two Samples

This study validated the Chinese version of the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (C–QTI) with two samples ( ns = 370 and 369) of primary school students in Hong Kong. The 48-item measure had acceptable internal consistency reliability, but the reliability coefficients of four of the scales were too low. The findings supported the validity of the circumplex model underlying the instrument and verified the ability of the measure to differentiate between students' perceptions in different classes. With the refinement of the measure based on reliability analysis and Principal Components Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted on the 35-item instrument to test its hypothesized factor structure. Findings on model fit indices were mixed, lending some support to the eight-factor structure of the questionnaire.

Panel Review

The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale is the assessment tool most commonly used by occupational therapists in Hong Kong. However, there has been no cross-cultural validation study of the Lawton IADL-Chinese Version (IADL-CV) scale as applied to Hong Kong's older adults. This was the first study of content validity, construct validity, and reliability of the Lawton IADL-CV. A total of 155 institutionalized older adults were recruited from three different hostels and one care-and-attention home by using a convenience sampling method. Expert panel review and pilot testing on the subjects established the linguistic and content validity of the Hong Kong Chinese version. The content of the scale, the scoring criteria, translation, and level of rating scale were examined. It was shown that all nine IADL items apart from “handyman work” were culturally relevant (more than 78% agreement). Nine items altogether had good representation in assessing the IADL ability of Hong Kong older adults (73% agreement). The scoring criteria were refined with reference to the local culture. Both panel review and the related psychometric properties supported the change of the level of rating scale from a three-point to a four-point scale. The inter-rater and test-retest reliability estimated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) gave a value of 0.99 and 0.90, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha estimating the internal consistency was 0.86. In the study of the construct validity, the factor analysis and known-groups methods were used. The construct validity was examined by factor analysis of the Lawton IADL scores of 111 hostel subjects. The result showed that one factor was extracted from the nine items of the Lawton IADL-CV scale. The known-groups method was performed using the Lawton IADL-CV to separate 146 institutionalized subjects into their corresponding living institutions: hostel or care-and-attention home. An overall prediction ability of 78% was achieved so as to correctly discriminate between residents in the hostel and care-and-attention home. In conclusion, the Lawton IADL-CV scale is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the older adults' IADL ability to live independently in the community.

Abstract Background: To test the psychometric properties of a traditional Chinese version of the Resilience Scale for Children (RS-10) and examine its factorial structure via a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).Methods: One hundred and eighty-six Hong Kong Chinese children with cancer were recruited in the paediatric oncology units of two public acute-care hospitals in Hong Kong to participate in this cross-sectional study. The psychometric properties of the traditional Chinese version of the RS-10 were assessed, namely its content validity, convergent and discriminant validity, construct validity, internal consistency and test–retest reliability.Results: The newly translated traditional Chinese version of the RS-10 demonstrated adequate internal consistency, excellent test–retest reliability, good content validity and appropriate convergent and discriminant validity. The CFA results demonstrated that there was a good fit between the factor structure of the Chinese version of the RS-10 and the observed data, thereby confirming the construct validity of this instrument.Conclusions: The traditional Chinese version of the RS-10 was found to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing the resilience of Hong Kong Chinese children with cancer. The newly developed traditional Chinese version of the RS-10 is an appropriate clinical research tool for evaluating the effectiveness of nursing interventions in enhancing the resilience of and promoting mental well-being in children with cancer.

Abstract Background Fear of childbirth causes significant distress and impact on women’s wellbeing. It also contributes to the rising trend of non-medically indicated Caesarean sections worldwide. The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (Version A) (W-DEQ-A) is a comprehensive instrument for the assessment of fear of childbirth among antenatal women. Methods Hong Kong Chinese women at the antenatal booking clinic completed the translated questionnaire, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, State-trait Anxiety Inventory and indicated their preferred mode of delivery. The validity and reliability of the translated questionnaire were analysed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient respectively. The subscales of the questionnaire were determined using exploratory factor analysis. The relationship between demographic data, preferred mode of delivery and the W-DEQ-A score were analysed using student’s t test, Mann-Whitney test or Pearson’s correlation. Results One hundred and fifty women completed the study. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability of the Chinese version were 0.907 and 0.867 respectively. Convergent validity was demonstrated with other psychological measures at expected levels. The mean W-DEQ-A score among the Hong Kong Chinese population is 65 out of 165, which is negatively correlated with gravidity, parity and partner support. Using a standard cut-off of 85, 11.3% women were found to suffer from fear of childbirth and it is associated with a history of psychiatric history. 72% and 22.7% women preferred vaginal delivery and Caesarean section respectively. Nulliparous women who preferred a vaginal delivery have a significantly lower score than those who preferred a Caesarean section, with mean (SD) W-DEQ-A scores of 67.1 (14.8) compared to 75.9 (15.9) (p = 0.036). Conclusion The Chinese version of Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (Version A) is a reliable and valid instrument to measure antenatal fear of childbirth among Chinese women. Clinicians can use this measure to assess the severity of women’s fear over the course of their pregnancy, and to monitor the success of any medical or psychological interventions for women with fear of childbirth in the future.
