To assess the ecological validity of the Screening Module of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NAB-SM) using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
Seventy individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury at a residential post-acute rehabilitation facility were administered the FIM instrument and the NAB-SM upon admission. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the variables from these two assessment measures.
Hierarchical models revealed that (1) the NAB-SM Total score was significantly associated with the FIM instrument Total score as well as the Motor and Cognition sub-scale scores, above and beyond the contribution of demographic variables, (2) the NAB-SM Language, Memory and Spatial domain scores were significantly associated with of the FIM instrument Cognition sub-scale score and (3) the NAB-SM Spatial domain score was significantly associated with of the FIM instrument Total and Motor sub-scale scores.
The current findings support previous research and provide strong evidence for the ecological validity of the NAB-SM with regard to functional abilities as assessed by the FIM instrument.
使用功能独立性测量（FIM）评估神经心理评估量表筛查模块（NAB-SM）的生态效度。
在一家住院后急性康复机构中，对70名中重度创伤性脑损伤患者入院时进行FIM工具和NAB-SM评估。采用分层回归分析来检验这两种评估方法中变量之间的关系。
分层模型显示：（1）NAB-SM总分与FIM工具总分以及运动和认知子量表得分显著相关，超出了人口统计学变量的影响；（2）NAB-SM语言、记忆和空间领域得分与FIM工具认知子量表得分显著相关；（3）NAB-SM空间领域得分与FIM工具总分和运动子量表得分显著相关。
当前研究结果支持先前的研究，并为NAB-SM在FIM工具评估的功能能力方面的生态效度提供了有力证据。
