The objective of the study was to translate the revised dyadic adjustment scale into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties in gynaecological cancer patients and their male partners.
A cross-sectional design with a random subsample re-tested at the one-week interval was adopted. Gynaecological cancer patients and their partners were asked to complete the Chinese version of the revised dyadic adjustment and quality of marriage index. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, structural validity and known-group validity was assessed.
A total of 252 participants (i.e., 126 female patients and 126 male partners) were recruited. The Chinese version of the Revised Dyadic Adjustment showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's = 0.85), test-retest reliability ( = 0.88), known group validity and adequate convergent validity with a significant positive correlation ( = 0.60) with the Quality of Marriage Index. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated an acceptable model fit to a second-order three-factor structure ( = 0.913, = 0.046, = 0.932).
The Chinese version of revised dyadic adjustment demonstrated good reliability and acceptable validity in gynaecological cancer patients and male partners. The scale can be used to assess the effectiveness of clinical nursing services for couples on their relationship and to compare marital satisfaction and adjustment between China and other parts of the world.
本研究的目的是将修订后的二元调适量表翻译成中文,并评估其在妇科癌症患者及其男性伴侣中的心理测量特性。
采用横断面设计,随机抽取子样本并在一周后重新测试。要求妇科癌症患者及其伴侣完成修订后的二元调适中文版和婚姻质量指数。评估内部一致性、重测信度、收敛效度、结构效度和已知群体效度。
共招募了252名参与者(即126名女性患者和126名男性伴侣)。修订后的二元调适中文版显示出良好的内部一致性(Cronbach's α = 0.85)、重测信度(α = 0.88)、已知群体效度以及与婚姻质量指数显著正相关(r = 0.60)的充分收敛效度。验证性因素分析表明二阶三因素结构模型拟合良好(χ² = 0.913,df = 0.046,CFI = 0.932)。
修订后的二元调适中文版在妇科癌症患者及其男性伴侣中显示出良好的信度和可接受的效度。该量表可用于评估针对夫妻关系的临床护理服务效果,并比较中国与世界其他地区的婚姻满意度和调适情况。
