Reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Incontinence Associated Dermatitis Intervention Tool
Objective To translate the Incontinence Associated Dermatitis Intervention Tool (IADIT) into Chinese and to test the reliability and validity. Methods The IADIT was translated into Chinese after getting the approval of original author, professor Junkin. We selected 15 experts with a high academic in incontinence nursing and rich clinical experience for two rounds of consultation to determine the Chinese version and its validity. At the time, the reliability of the Chinese version of IADIT was tested at a ClassIII Grade A hospital. Results The item content validity index (I CVI) of the Chinese version of IADIT ranged from 0.80 to 1.00, and the scale content validity index (S CVI) of the tool was 0.98. The reliability of assessors was r=0.928 (P<0.01) and the test retest reliability was 0.996 (P<0.01) Conclusions The Chinese version of the IADIT has a good reliability and validity which could guide nurses to carry out assessment and intervention for incontinence patients.
