We administered the Life Satisfaction Index (Short Form) 18 times over a 39-wk. period to an initial sample of 76 old, frail, multiply impaired, and depressed nursing home residents participating in a longitudinal quasi-experimental study of the effects of cognitive group interventions on cognition and depression. As no changes over time were observed on the outcome variable of life satisfaction, the stability of the instrument's internal consistency could be examined. Kuder-Richardson KR-20 coefficients ranged from .11 to .60, with a mean of .42 (SD = .11). We conclude that caution should be used when applying this instrument to measure life satisfaction in frail nursing home residents.
在一项为期39周的纵向准实验研究中，我们对76名年老体弱、多重功能受损且患有抑郁症的养老院居民的初始样本，18次施测了简易生活满意度指数。该研究旨在探讨认知团体干预对认知和抑郁的影响。由于在生活满意度这一结果变量上未观察到随时间的变化，因此可以检验该量表内部一致性的稳定性。库德-理查森KR-20系数在0.11至0.60之间，平均为0.42（标准差=0.11）。我们得出结论，在将该量表用于测量体弱养老院居民的生活满意度时应谨慎使用。
