Abstract：Objective:To translate the Care Challenge Scale(CCS)into Chinese,and to test its reliability and validity among family caregivers of patients with dementia,aiming to provide reliable tool for assessing the level of family caregivers care challenge in China.Methods:The scale was translated according to the Brislin translation model,and the Chinese version of CCS was developed through translated,back translation,expert consultation and pre-investigated.A total of 218 family caregivers of dementia patients were investigated to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of CCS include two dimensions and 10 items,with two dimensions being lack of socio-economic support and effective role-playing challenges.The the scale-content validity index(S-CVI)was 0.938.The item-level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0.875 to 1.000.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 2 common factors,and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 64.578%.The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.881,and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension were 0.911 and 0.764.The half coefficient was 0.702.The total test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.827,and the test-retest reliability coefficient of each dimension were 0.858 and 0.706.Conclusion:The Chinese version of CCS demonstrated good reliability and validity,which could be used as an assessment tool for the care challenges of patients with dementia.
