Abstract：Objective:To translate the Rheumatoid Arthritis Knowledge questionnaire(RAKE)into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The scale was translated according to the Brislin scale translation mode,and the Chinese version RAKE was formed through expert consultation and pre-adjustment.557 patients with rheumatoid arthritis from 2 third grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou were selected for evaluation with the Chinese version RAKE to test its reliability and validity.Results:The Chinese version of RAKE included 5 dimensions,including drug treatment,disease knowledge,professional coping,non-drug treatment and self-care,with a total of 44 items.The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the five common factors was 73.22％,and the RAKE score of Chinese version was moderately positively correlated with the total score of arthritis self-efficacy scale(r=0.510,P＜0.001).The total Cronbach's α coefficient,broken half reliability and retest reliability of the scale were 0.923,0.811 and 0.871,respectively.Conclusions:The Chinese version of RAKE has good reliability and validity,and can be used to evaluate the knowledge of rheumatoid arthritis patients.
