To explore the feasibility of using the SF-36 in Chinese population.
We tested the reliability and validity of the SF-36 in 1603 rural residents, 646 urban residents, 70 high school girls, 122 patients with osteoporosis, and 150 stroke patients.
The reliability and validity of the SF-36 in general were acceptable, however, the reliability and validity varied among different domains and in different populations. The reliability and validity of the domains "limitations in physical activities", "limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems", "bodily pain", and "general health perception" were better than those of the domains "vitality", "limitations in social activities", "limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems", and "mental health".
The results indicate that we can use the SF-36 in Chinese population, but we have to pay attentions to the variance of the reliability and validity in different populations, especially for the interpretation of the results of the domains related to mental and social functions.
探讨在中国人群中使用SF-36的可行性。
我们对1603名农村居民、646名城市居民、70名高中女生、122名骨质疏松症患者和150名中风患者测试了SF-36的信度和效度。
SF-36总体的信度和效度是可接受的,然而,不同领域和不同人群中的信度和效度有所不同。“身体活动受限”“因身体健康问题导致的日常角色活动受限”“身体疼痛”和“总体健康感知”等领域的信度和效度优于“活力”“社交活动受限”“因情绪问题导致的日常角色活动受限”和“心理健康”等领域。
结果表明我们可以在中国人群中使用SF-36,但必须注意不同人群中信度和效度的差异,尤其是对于与心理和社会功能相关领域结果的解释。
