| Research Abstract |
This article reports the development of the Japanese NEECHAM Confusion Scale for rapid and unobtrusive assessment and monitoring of acute confusion. The scale was tested with the patient (N82) who was hospitalized to have an operation. Internal consistencies of the instrument were found to be high. The NEECHAM correlated well with the scores of Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) and the scores of Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) positive items. Factor analyses identified and confirmed cognitive/behavioral and physiological domains. The NEECHAM provides a valid and reliable bedside assessment of acute confusion.
