To assess the clinical reliability and validity of a holistic health measure, the QE Health Scale (QEHS), for use with people with physical disabilities.
A test-retest design saw the QEHS administered and compared with established measures of health at admission and discharge from three-week inpatient rehabilitation programmes. Data was analysed by factor and correlation analysis. Clinician-reported credibility and usefulness of the theoretical basis of the QEHS, the QEHS itself, and Patient Profiles derived from the QEHS were also used to evaluate clinical validity.
The QEHS was judged to possess satisfactory reliability and validity.
The QEHS is a clinically reliable, valid, credible and useful holistic health instrument to facilitate client-centred therapeutic interventions, inform decision-making and evaluate outcomes for people with physical disabilities.
评估一种整体健康测量工具——QE健康量表(QEHS)用于身体残疾者的临床可靠性和有效性。
采用重测设计,对QEHS进行施测,并与三周住院康复项目入院和出院时既定的健康测量指标进行比较。通过因子分析和相关性分析对数据进行分析。临床医生报告的QEHS理论基础、QEHS本身以及从QEHS得出的患者概况的可信度和有用性也用于评估临床有效性。
QEHS被判定具有令人满意的可靠性和有效性。
QEHS是一种临床可靠、有效、可信且有用的整体健康工具,有助于以患者为中心的治疗干预,为决策提供信息并评估身体残疾者的治疗效果。
