Abstract

The range of symptoms experienced by refugees of war has not been empirically assessed. The New Mexico Refugee Symptom Checklist-121 (NMRSCL-121) was developed utilizing established guidelines and evaluated for its psychometric properties. Community-dwelling Kurdish and Vietnamese refugees reported 48 (SD = 31) persistent and bothersome somatic and psychological symptoms on the NMRSCL-121. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability for the total scale and for most subscales were acceptable, and construct and concurrent validity for the NMRSCL-121 data was shown. There were modest ethnic group differences on symptom severity and psychometric properties of NMRSCL-121 subscales. The NMRSCL-121 produces reliable and valid assessments of a wide range of symptoms in 2 broad community samples of displaced adult refugees.

摘要

战争难民所经历的症状范围尚未经过实证评估。新墨西哥难民症状清单-121（NMRSCL-121）是根据既定指南编制的，并对其心理测量特性进行了评估。居住在社区的库尔德和越南难民在NMRSCL-121上报告了48种（标准差=31）持续且令人烦恼的躯体和心理症状。总量表和大多数子量表的内部一致性和重测信度是可以接受的，并且显示了NMRSCL-121数据的结构效度和同时效度。在症状严重程度和NMRSCL-121子量表的心理测量特性方面存在适度的种族差异。NMRSCL-121对两个广泛的成年流离失所难民社区样本中的各种症状进行了可靠且有效的评估。
