Validation of Chinese AAUSES Scale

Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0, Armonk, NY, USA) and AMOS version 26.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Continuous data were expressed as mean (SD) and categorical data as percentages. Independent samples t-tests or one-way ANOVAs were used to analyze differences in Chineses version of AAUSES scores between sociodemographic categorical and clinical variables, and Bonferroni tests were used to calibrate the test levels for pairwise comparisons. A significance level of P < 0.05 was used. The skewness and kurtosis were calculated for each item to determine if the data were normally distributed. When the skewness and kurtosis were between-2 and +2, the data were considered to be normally distributed [57 (link)].
