Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the instrument for measuring different types of cognitive load (MDT-CL).

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To translate the instrument for measuring different types of cognitive load (MDT-CL) into Chinese and assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the MDT-CL.

Background

The MDT-CL is needed for hospital administrators to identify which nursing staff are prone to high cognitive load and to provide tailored interventions for specific types of cognitive load.

Methods

The MDT-CL was translated into Chinese using forward and back translation, cultural adaptation and pilot tested. The reliability and validity of the instrument were assessed with intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in three tertiary hospitals in China.

Results

A total of 222 ICU nurses were recruited. The scale-content validity index of the Chinese version of the MDT-CL was 0.966. C
