Background:
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge Inventory Device 2 (IBD-KID2) is a specialized tool designed to evaluate disease-specific knowledge in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to develop a Chinese version of IBD-KID2 and to test the reliability and validity of this tool in Chinese patients with IBD.
Methods:
A Chinese version of IBD-KID2 was developed through initial cultural relevance/comprehension review and adaptation using content validity index for individual items (I-CVI, level > 0.78 acceptable) and the scale overall (S-CVI, level > 0.8 acceptable). A standardized approach was used to translate IBD-KID2 to Chinese, with the final tool being 15 items long and scored as one point for each correct answer (maximum score of 15). Tool validity was evaluated in a convenience sample of patients with IBD. External reliability was evaluated using test-retest analysis in a participant subset two weeks after baseline completion and internal reliability evaluated using cohort scores (Cronbach's alpha, Cronbach's α).
Results:
Following expert review for cultural relevance/comprehension the original IBD-KID2 scored > 0.78 I-CVI and > 0.9 for the S-CVI, and the tool was then translated. Ninety-six participants with IBD completed the Chinese IBD-KID2; 68 (71%) were male, eight (8%) aged < 18 years, and 63 (66%) had Crohn's disease. The mean IBD-KID2 score of the cohort was 9.2 (±3.2, range 3-14). Scores decreased with age (p = 0.012) and increased with higher levels of education (p < 0.001). The retest reliability in a subset of 30 patients showed a correlation of 0.89 (P < 0.001), with no difference between the two time points (mean difference 0.4, = 0.16). The tool had high internal consistency with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.8.
Conclusion:
The Chinese version of the IBD-KID2 demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity, making it a robust instrument for evaluating disease-specific knowledge in individuals with IBD.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
