Previous postal administration of Mini Asthma-related Quality of Life Questionnaire (Mini-AQLQ) (validated for self-completion under supervision) resulted in 12.7% completion error rate.
To administer the Mini-AQLQ by post with instructions, and to compare completion errors with our previous study and usable response rate with supervised self-completion.
The Mini-AQLQ, with an instruction sheet, was posted to 96 participants from UK general practice, for completion 1 week before supervised self-completion in the surgery.
94/96 (98%) postal questionnaires were returned: the error rate of 10.6% was similar to our previous study (postal versus previous: 10/94 versus 23/181: P=0.62). 86/96 (90%) attended for supervised completion with no completion errors (supervised versus postal: 0/86 versus 10/94: P</=0.01) Overall usable response rates were similar. (supervised versus postal: 86/96 versus 84/96, P=0.65).
Our instruction sheet did not significantly reduce postal completion errors, however the good postal return rate achieved comparable overall usable response rates to supervised administration.
先前通过邮寄方式发放的简易哮喘相关生活质量问卷(Mini-AQLQ)(已验证可在监督下自行填写)的填写错误率为12.7%。
通过邮寄方式发放附有说明的Mini-AQLQ,并将填写错误率与我们之前的研究进行比较,同时将有效回复率与监督下自行填写的情况进行比较。
将附有说明表的Mini-AQLQ邮寄给96名来自英国普通诊所的参与者,让他们在诊所进行监督下自行填写前1周完成问卷。
96份邮寄问卷中有94份(98%)被返还:10.6%的错误率与我们之前的研究相似(邮寄方式与之前相比:10/94 与 23/181:P = 0.62)。86/96(90%)的参与者参加了监督下的填写且无填写错误(监督填写与邮寄方式相比:0/86 与 10/94:P≤0.01)。总体有效回复率相似。(监督填写与邮寄方式相比:86/96 与 84/96,P = 0.65)。
我们的说明表并未显著降低邮寄填写错误率,然而良好的邮寄返还率使总体有效回复率与监督管理方式相当。
