Background: Patient education is an integral part of the management of
osteoarthritis. The educational needs assessment tool (ENAT) was developed in
the UK to help direct needs-based patient education in rheumatic diseases.
Aim: The aim of the study was to adapt and validate the ENAT into
Chinese, for use in severe knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: This cross-cultural validation study took two phases: 1)
adaptation of the ENAT into Chinese (CENAT) and 2) validation of the CENAT. The
Construct validity was determined using factor analysis and criterion-related
validity by comparing data from CENAT with data from different self-efficacy
scales: patient–physician interactions scale (PEPPI-10), self-efficacy for
rehabilitation outcome scale (SER), and the self-efficacy for exercise scale
(SEE).
Results: The sample comprised 196 patients, with mean age 63.6±8.7 years,
disease duration was 11.5 years, and 57.1% were female. The CENAT was found to
have high internal consistency. The CENAT had weak correlations with the
Chinese versions of PEPPI r =0.40, SER r =0.40, and SEE r =0.39. There were no correlations
with age r =-0.03 or disease duration r =-0.11.
Conclusion: The ENAT translated well into Chinese and has evidence of validity
in KOA. Future studies will further inform its usefulness in clinics,
community, and online settings.
