Validation of the Chinese Version of the Patient's Communication Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale (PCSS) in Outpatients After Total Hip Replacement.

This is the first study to validate the Chinese version of the PCSS in outpatients after total hip replacement. Our results confirmed that the Chinese version of the scale has high internal consistency, construct validity and test-retest reliability. And the patient-doctor interaction and education are important predictors of patient's communication self-efficacy.
