Objective:To explore the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status(RBANS),which is specially for assessing cognitive functions in non-dementia mental disorders.Methods: Altogether 451 healthy adults who were recruited from both rural and urban areas in Beijing were evaluated with the RBANS,and 97 adults were tested with the Brief Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale(WAIS) and Wechsler Memory Scale simultaneously(WMS).Forty-one adults were reevaluated with RBANS 12 weeks later.The data was analyzed by using correlation analysis and factor analysis.Results: The Cronbachs'α coefficient of RBANS total scale was 0.90;the Cronbachs'α coefficients of immediate memory,visuospatial,language,attention and delayed memory were 0.86,0.68,0.67,0.85 and 0.80 respectively.The test-retest reliability of total scale was 0.90 and that of subscales were 0.65,0.68,0.53,0.80 and 0.79 respectively(P0.01).There were significant positive correlation between the scores of RBANS and those of WAIS and WMS(r=0.21-0.59,P0.01),except that there was no correlation between the language score of WAIS and the visuospatial score of RBANS.Lisrel Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 5-subscale model of RBANS was reasonable(χ2/df=4.13,CFI=0.91,NNFI=0.93,RMSEA=0.079,MI=0.80,0.74,0.61,0.38,0.61,0.90,0.66,0.60,0.81,0.60,0.81 and 0.73).Conclusions:The Chinese version of RBANS is a reliable tool for cognitive function assessment with reasonable reliability and validity.
