Develop and test the reliability and validity of the postoperative visual function rehabilitation compliance assessment scale for children with congenital cataract

Abstract

Purpose To develop the postoperative visual function rehabilitation compliance assessment scale for children with congenital cataract, and test its reliability and validity. Method The interactive model of health behavior is taken as the theoretical framework, and the first draft of the scale was constructed through literature review, qualitative interview and Delphi expert correspondence. From June 2022 to July 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 225 children with congenital cataract who were treated in the ophthalmology clinic and inpatient department of a children's hospital in Guangzhou to conduct a questionnaire survey. The items of the scale were revised and the reliability and validity were tested. ResultsThe postoperative visual rehabilitation compliance scale for children with congenital cataract included 5 dimensions and 18 items. Exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 5 common factors, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 68.151%. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.730 to 1.000. The content validity index of the scale was 0.963. The total Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of the scale were 0.855, 0.778 and 0.859, respectively. ConclusionsThe postoperative visual function rehabilitation compliance scale for children with congenital cataract has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the postoperative visual function rehabilitation compliance of children with congenital cataract, and can provide reference for the clinical development of standardized nursing programs for children with congenital cataract.
