ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the construct validity of ICF generic set as a functioning measure tool in routine clinical practice of China.Method:Totally 4510 patients covering departments of rehabilitation,neurology or cerebral surgery,cardiology,pneumology and orthopedics from 50 hospitals in 21 provinces of mainland China were enrolled in this multicenter study.Each patient was assessed by the same rater with ICF generic set at the time of baseline and discharge.Result:At the time of discharge,with exception of the scores of item d850,the scores of ICF generic set is (15.25±13.48),which is lower than that of the baseline (23.76±15.15).Two common factors which come from factor analysis are almost consisted with theoretic structure,and the contributing rate of cumulative sums was 78.018％.Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model was consistent with the theoretical assumption,and the fitness indexes were RMSEA=0.026,NFI=0.999,CFI=0.999,AGFI=0.994.Conclusion:The construct validity of ICF generic set is good,The ICF generic is a useful functioning measure tool in routine clinical practice.

ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the knowledge, belief and practice regarding ICF Generic Set in nurses. Methods 107 nurses from 28 secondary- and tertiary-level hospitals were investigated with self-administered questionnaires. Results In the knowledge dimension, 16.3%~39.4% of the nurses were accurate in each item respectively. The nurses got a middle grade in the attitude dimension and all the sub-dimensions. In terms of practice, 39.4%of hospitals and 44.2%of nurses had never used ICF, and the personal usage of ICF correlated with the scores of the knowledge and perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers and perceived threat of belief. Conclu-sion The nurses are inadequate in the knowledge and attitude of ICF, and the application of ICF need more promotion.
