Abstract: Objective To translate the English Groningen Frailty Indicator into Chinese and examine the semantic equivalence, content validity, face validity of the translated version. Methods Groningen Frailty Indicator was translated into Chinese by two independent translators using Brislin's model. The translated version were further reviewed by 12 healthcare experts for semantic equivalence and content validity by using 4-point Likert scale. After that, 20 elderly people with various educational background were invited to comment on each item for its comprehensibility, interpretability and acceptancy. Results Groningen Frailty Indicator was translated from English into Chinese and the semantic equivalences between source language and target language were maintained. According to 12 bilingual healthcare experts, the item-level (83%~100%) and scale-level (86%~100%) semantic equivalences were both satisfactory and content validity index was 98%. Elderly participants (50% illiterate) can accept and comprehend most of the items (100% acceptance, 97% comprehensibility). Conclusion Groningen Frailty Indicator is translated into Chinese and named as Groningen Frailty Indicator - Chinese. This study provides evidence that Groningen Frailty Indicator - Chinese is an acceptable and comprehensible tool in frailty status screening for Chinese elderly people.
