The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean version of the behavior rating scale for dementia (BRSD-K) for evaluating behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.
The BRSD-K was administered to the informants of 268 subjects with dementia. Internal, inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities were tested. To evaluate construct validity, exploratory factor analysis was performed. To evaluate concurrent validity, Pearson correlation coefficients between BRSD-K scores and the corresponding scores of the Korean version of the neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI-K) were calculated.
BRSD-K demonstrated substantially high levels of reliabilities. Factor analysis identified seven factors, i.e. depressive symptoms, irritability/aggression, psychotic symptoms, behavioral dysregulations, sleep disturbance, inertia, and appetite. Correlations between BRSD-K and corresponding NPI-K scores were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
BRSD-K was found to be a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating BPSD.
本研究旨在开发一个用于评估痴呆行为和心理症状的韩语版痴呆行为评定量表（BRSD-K）。
对268名痴呆患者的 informant 进行BRSD-K评定。测试了内部信度、评定者间信度和重测信度。为评估结构效度，进行了探索性因素分析。为评估同时效度，计算了BRSD-K得分与韩语版神经精神科问卷（NPI-K）相应得分之间的Pearson相关系数。
BRSD-K显示出相当高的信度水平。因素分析确定了七个因素，即抑郁症状、易怒/攻击行为、精神病性症状、行为失调、睡眠障碍、惰性和食欲。BRSD-K与相应的NPI-K得分之间的相关性具有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。
BRSD-K被发现是评估BPSD的可靠且有效的工具。
