Screening for post‐intensive care syndrome: Validation of the Healthy Aging Brain Care Monitor Self‐Report Chinese version

  • Critical Care Nursing

AbstractBackgroundThe Healthy Aging Brain Care Monitor Self‐Report (HABC‐M SR) is a tool to evaluate physical, mental and cognitive impairments. It has been validated in several countries for post‐intensive care syndrome (PICS) assessment, but there is no Chinese version yet.AimThe aim of this study is to translate and cross‐cultural adapt HABC‐M SR, and validate its psychological properties among Chinese ICU survivors.Study DesignThis is a cross‐sectional study. the HABC‐M SR was translated into Chinese and validated in intensive care unit survivors (n = 145). Measures of internal consistency, construct validity, concurrent validity, and content validity were evaluated.ResultsA 19‐item Chinese version of HABC‐M SR was yielded, with good reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.92) and validity (the variance was 64.4%, overall content validity was 0.91, and correlation coefficients were 0.62–0.90).ConclusionsThe 19‐item Chinese version HABC‐M SR is a reliable and valid tool for PICS assessing and may be regarded as a standard measurement.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe Chinese version HABC‐M SR may help in selecting PICS high‐risk survivors for ICU follow‐up interventions. The HABC‐M SR can also be regarded as a standard specific PICS measurement, thus promote the comparability between studies and transformation of the clinical evidence.
