A limited number of attempts have been made to develop a questionnaire that assesses the experience of motion sickness. Further, many available questionnaires quantify motion sickness as a unidimensional construct.
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of motion sickness descriptors were used to derive and verify four dimensions of motion sickness, which were defined as gastrointestinal, central, peripheral, and sopite-related. These dimensions of motion sickness were then used to construct a motion sickness assessment questionnaire (MSAQ) that was administered to individuals who were exposed to a rotating optokinetic drum.
Total scores from the MSAQ correlated strongly with overall scores from the Pensacola Diagnostic Index (r = 0.81, p < 0.001) and the Nausea Profile (r = 0.92, p < 0.001).
The MSAQ is a valid instrument for the assessment of motion sickness. In addition, the MSAQ may be used to assess motion sickness as a multidimensional rather than unidimensional construct.
为开发一份评估晕动病体验的问卷,人们进行的尝试有限。此外,许多现有的问卷将晕动病量化为一个单维结构。
对晕动病描述词进行探索性和验证性因素分析,以得出并验证晕动病的四个维度,分别定义为胃肠道、中枢、外周和嗜睡相关维度。然后利用这些晕动病维度构建一份晕动病评估问卷(MSAQ),并将其发放给暴露于旋转视动鼓的个体。
MSAQ的总分与彭萨科拉诊断指数的总体得分(r = 0.81,p < 0.001)和恶心概况得分(r = 0.92,p < 0.001)密切相关。
MSAQ是评估晕动病的有效工具。此外,MSAQ可用于将晕动病评估为多维而非单维结构。
