Abstract：Objective:To establish the disease knowledge scale for sarcopenia and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was developed through a comprehensive literature review,followed by two rounds of Delphi letter inquiry and a pre-survey.From January to June,2023,a total of 304 patients with possible sarcopenia from four tertiary Grade A hospitals in Guizhou province were surveyed to construct a formal scale.Results:The disease knowledge scale for sarcopenia included 5 dimensions of etiology,clinical manifestation,harm,diagnosis and treatment,and 18 items.The authority coefficient were 0.917,0.921.Kendall's W were 0.219,0.297(all P<0.001).The S-CVI was 0.970,Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.935.Conclusion:The constructed disease knowledge scale for sarcopenia has good reliability,validity,scientificity and practicability,and it can be used as a tool to evaluate the disease knowledge level of patients with sarcopenia.
