| Abstract | Background Healthcare providers’ dementia-care competence is crucial for quality dementia care. A reliable and valid instrument is needed to assess the gaps in their dementia-care competence, and thereby identifying their educational needs. Therefore, this study aims to translate the 17-item Sense of Competence in Dementia Care Staff (SCIDS) scale into Chinese (SCIDS-C) and to validate the SCIDS-C among Chinese healthcare providers. Methods The translation procedure followed the modified Brislin’s translation model. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the translated version. The validity, including content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, concurrent validity and known-groups validity, was tested. Reliability in terms of internal consistency and test-retest reliability with a 2-week interval was evaluated. Results A total of 290 healthcare providers in 12 nursing homes and a hospital completed the survey. The scale-level content validity index was .99. The confirmatory factor analysis model marginally supported the original 4-factor structure. Positive but weak correlations were noted between the total score of the SCIDS-C and that of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (r = .17, p = .005) and Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire (r = .22, p < .001), suggesting acceptable concurrent validity. Differences between health professionals and care assistants were significant in two subscales scores. The internal consistency of the scale was high, with Cronbach’s α of .87. Test-retest reliability was demonstrated with intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.88. Conclusions The SCIDS-C demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity although the known-groups validity between health professionals and care assistants was not fully established. It can be used to measure the level of sense of competence and as an outcome measure in educational intervention aiming at improving dementia care among Chinese healthcare providers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
