The reliability and validity was tested. Results The Chinese version of IFABI-R has 14 entries. The content validity (I-CVI) of the items ranged from0.80 to 1.0, and the content validity (S-CVI) of the total scale was 0.98. Exploratory factor analysis extracted3 factors, the cumulative contribution rate is 68.362%. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.843, and the Guttman split half coefficient was 0.842, with the test-retest reliability 0.796.
