Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been used increasingly as an outcome measure in clinical research. Although the generic quality of life instruments has been used in previous research, disease-specific instruments offer greater sensitivity and responsiveness to change than generic instruments. No such disease-specific instrument is currently available that applies to eating-disordered samples.
The current article reports on the development and validation of the Eating Disorders Quality of Life (EDQOL) instrument, a disease-specific HRQOL self-report questionnaire designed for disordered eating patients.
The EDQOL demonstrates excellent psychometric properties.
The application of the EDQOL as an outcome measure in eating disorder research is considered.
健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)在临床研究中越来越多地被用作一项结果指标。尽管以往研究中使用了通用生活质量量表,但针对特定疾病的量表比通用量表对变化具有更高的敏感性和反应性。目前尚无适用于饮食失调样本的此类特定疾病量表。
本文报告了饮食失调生活质量(EDQOL)量表的开发与验证情况,这是一种专为饮食失调患者设计的特定疾病HRQOL自填式问卷。
EDQOL显示出优异的心理测量特性。
考虑将EDQOL应用于饮食失调研究作为一项结果指标。
