Are the Chinese versions of the CTM-15 and CTM-3 reliable and valid instruments for assessing the quality of care transition?
The Chinese versions of the CTM-15 and CTM-3 demonstrate adequate psychometric properties, with CTM-3 being a viable substitute when response burden is a concern despite suboptimal internal consistency.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid care transition assessment in Chinese hospitals; extends validation to non-Western settings but leaves outcome linkage open.
Cao et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Hospital discharge (n=646). Chinese version of the Care Transition Measure (CTM-15 and CTM-3) was evaluated on Psychometric properties (Cronbach's α and test-retest reliability). The Chinese version of the CTM-15 demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.90) and test-retest reliability (0.91), validating its use for assessing care transition quality in China.
