Abstract: Objective To revise the Chinese version of Identification of Seniors At Risk (ISAR) and verify its reliability and validity in the department of emergency. Methods Using the convenience sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 240 elderly patients who visited the emergency department to verify the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of ISAR. Results The item-level content validity index and the scale-level average content validity index were 0.89-1.00 and 0.984, respectively. Two common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance explanation rate was 48.447%. The factor loading of each item ranged from 0.530 to 0.733. The Cronbach’s α coefficient and the Guttman split-half reliability of the Chinese version of ISAR were 0.611 and 0.546, respectively. The Kappa coefficient was 0.793. Conclusions The Chinese version of ISAR has good reliability and validity, and can be used in the elderly patients at emergency department.
