The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is commonly used in the assessment of stroke severity. Nurses, who use the tool infrequently, find it difficult to use due to the neurologic terminology embedded in the scale. For this project, we modified the NIHSS by replacing the neurologic terminology for each component of the original scale with plain English. No components were deleted or changed; the language was merely simplified. Testing showed the modified tool to be reliable (0.96) and valid (0.977) when compared with the NIHSS.
美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)常用于评估卒中严重程度。护士们由于不常使用该工具,且量表中包含神经学术语,所以觉得它很难使用。在这个项目中,我们对NIHSS进行了修改,用通俗易懂的英语替换了原始量表每个部分的神经学术语。没有任何部分被删除或更改,只是语言被简化了。测试表明,与NIHSS相比,修改后的工具具有可靠性(0.96)和有效性(0.977)。
