The exploratory factor analysis indicated three dimensions with 18 items. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 68.445%. The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated good model fit.
ConclusionThe Chinese version of the PICS questionnaire exhibits robust reliability and validity, confirming its suitability for assessing Post-Intensive Care Syndrome in Chinese ICU patients.
