To translate 20-item Meaningful and Enjoyable Activities Scale into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties amongst Chinese with mild dementia.
A cross-sectional study of 450 people with mild dementia recruited from a memory disorders clinic was conducted with the C-MEAS. Raw data were randomly divided into two parts for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, to evaluate the construct validity. Content validity and reliability were tested by content validity index and Cronbach's α coefficients, respectively.
Adaptation results showed that the Chinese version of the scale is adequate for linguistic and content validation. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a significantly good fit for a three-factor model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.84 for the overall scale.
The C-MEAS for people with mild dementia is a reliable and valid instrument with satisfactory psychometric properties. Future studies should recruit a more representative sample of people with mild dementia in China to verify the applicability of the scale.
将20项有意义且愉快的活动量表翻译成中文，并评估其在轻度痴呆症华人中的心理测量特性。
采用C-MEAS对从记忆障碍诊所招募的450名轻度痴呆症患者进行横断面研究。原始数据被随机分为两部分用于探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析，以评估结构效度。分别通过内容效度指数和克朗巴赫α系数检验内容效度和信度。
改编结果表明该量表中文版在语言和内容验证方面是合适的。验证性因素分析表明三因素模型拟合良好。总量表的克朗巴赫α系数为0.84。
用于轻度痴呆症患者的C-MEAS是一种可靠且有效的工具，具有令人满意的心理测量特性。未来的研究应在中国招募更具代表性的轻度痴呆症患者样本，以验证该量表的适用性。
