Development of the Japanese version of the State Behavioral Scale for critically ill children.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The State Behavioral Scale (SBS) was developed to assess sedation states, including agitation, in pediatric patients on mechanical ventilation. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of a back-translated Japanese version of the SBS.

Methods

Translation was done by the back-translation method followed by a prospective study in a Japanese intensive care unit. For reliability, a nurse/researcher pair evaluated SBS along eight dimensions (respiratory drive, response to ventilation, coughing, best response to stimulation, attentiveness to care provider, tolerance to care, consolability, and movement after consoled). For validity, SBS scores were compared to the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale and a visual analog scale (VAS).
