The purpose of this study is to verify the reliability and validity of Korean translation of transfer assessment instrument (TAI-K), an evaluation tool that evaluates the transfer ability of patients with spinal cord injury. The study subjects were 30 patients with spinal cord injury. The research instrument used was the TAI-K translated into Korean. The reliability analysis of the evaluation results used the intraclass correlation coefficient, and the validity analysis analyzed content validity and concurrent validity with KSCIMⅢ. The intrarater reliability interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of TAI-K was 0.795 (standard error of measurement, SEM=0.459, minimal detectable change, MDC=1.272). The inter-rater reliability ICC of TAI-K was 0.959 (SEM=0.440, MDC=2.120). The test-retest reliability ICC of TAI-K was 0.790 (SEM=0.415, MDC=1.152). The Cronbach's alpha value of TAI-K was 0.864-0.962, showing high internal consistency. As a result of verifying the content validity of TAI-K, content validity index scale (CVI-S) was analyzed as 0.91, confirming that it is an evaluation tool that meets the purpose of evaluation. The concurrent validity of TAI-K, KSCIMⅢ, and KSCIMⅢ item 12 (moving to sit) was not found to be significant. TAI-K is considered to be very reliable as an evaluation tool. The fact that the results showed a negative correlation in the concurrent validity analysis is presumed to be related to the characteristics of the study subjects. It was concluded that TAI-K can be used as an effective assessment tool to evaluate a patient's ability to transfer, and that further studies and studies based on patient groups are needed in the future.
