ABSTRACT

Objective To translate the English version of Infant Feeding & Nutrition Checklist For Congenital Heart Disease (IFNCCHD) into Chinese,and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of IFNCCHD.Methods After obtaining authorization from the developer,the IFNCCHD was translated and culturally adapted into Chinese version.The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of IFNCCHD were tested in 168 patients.Results The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.804.Two nurses used the scale to evaluate the consistency of the results,and the Kappa coefficient was 0.812.The content validity index of item ranged from 0.80 to 1.00,and the average index was 0.90 for the total scale.The correlations coefficients between each dimension score and the total score ranged from 0.339 to 0.474 (P＜0.01),and the correlations coefficients between each dimension score ranged from 0.198 to 0.861(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),Three factors were extracted from exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 72.66％.Conclusion The Chinese version of IFNCCHD has been proved to have good reliability and validity.It can be used to assess infant feeding and nutritional risk of congenital heart disease in the Chinese settings.
