Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Knowledge Assessment Scales for Dementia and Urinary Incontinence in Community Older People

  The scale was developed by Hui Sun et al. to assess the level of knowledge about dementia and urinary incontinence among elderly individuals living in the community. The original language of the scale is Chinese and was translated into English by the researchers. The two knowledge assessment scales for dementia and urinary incontinence consist of 12 and 8 items, respectively. The model fit indicators of both met the criteria of confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach'sα was 0.82 and 0.70, respectively. The completion rate and completion time of the two scales were 83.51% and 4.22±1.90 minutes.
