Abstract
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese Version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. Methods The Chinese version of TSK-11 was translated from the original one, and adjusted for cultural adaptation.The reliability and validity of Chinese TSK-11 were tested among 254 eligible patients receiving total knee arthroplasty from a tertiary hospital in Henan province by convenience sampling. Results Three common factors which explained 65.177% of the total variance was extracted after the exploratory factor analysis, and each item had high factor loading quantity (>0.4). The scale CVI was 0.83~1.00, the S-CVI/UA and S-CVI/Ave were 0.91 and 0.94, respectively.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.883, and the test-retest reliability was 0.798.The item-to-total correlations ranged from 0.424~0.757 (P<0.05). Conclusion The Chinese version of TSK-11 has been proved to be reliable and valid with fewer understandable items, and short completion time.It can be used as a valuable tool for evaluating kinesiophobia in patients following total knee arthroplasty. Key words: Kinesiophobia; Total knee arthroplasty; Reliability; Validity
