Abstract

Background: The 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.

Aim: The aim of this study is to translate and cross-cultural adapt HABC-M SR, and validate its psychological properties among Chinese ICU survivors.

Study design: This 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.

Results: A 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).

Conclusions: The 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 practice: The 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.
