Abstract

BACKGROUND

Few health measurement scales are based on Chinese medicine theory. The Health Scale of Traditional Chinese Medicine (HSTCM) was developed to fill this gap. The aim of this study is to validate the HSTCM.

METHODS

A convenience sample of 630 participants was recruited in 11 settings. All participants were asked to complete the HSTCM and World Health Organization Quality of Life Measure-Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-BREF).

RESULTS

Properties of the HSTCM were tested. Intra-class correlation coefficient representing the inter-interviewer reliability was 0.99 (95%CI) for the overall instrument. Spearman-Brown correlation coefficient and Cronbach's coefficient alpha were 0.81 and 0.94 respectively, indicating satisfactory internal reliability and inter-interviewer reliability. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient between the HSTCM and WHOQOL-BREFF was -0.67. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to test the discriminate validation. Areas under the ROC curve analysis for the HSTCM and its domains ranged 0.71-0.87 and all the lower levels of 95%CI were greater than 0.50.

CONCLUSION

The HSTCM was validated as a generic health scale and may complement existing health measurement scales in Chinese medicine health care.

摘要

背景

基于中医理论的健康测量量表较少。中医健康量表（HSTCM）的开发旨在填补这一空白。本研究旨在验证 HSTCM。

方法

在 11 个场所采用方便抽样法招募了 630 名参与者。所有参与者均被要求完成 HSTCM 和世界卫生组织生活质量量表简表（WHOQOL-BREF）。

结果

对 HSTCM 的特性进行了测试。代表访谈者间可靠性的组内相关系数为 0.99（95%CI）。Spearman-Brown 相关系数和 Cronbach's 系数 alpha 分别为 0.81 和 0.94，表明内部可靠性和访谈者间可靠性良好。HSTCM 与 WHOQOL-BREFF 之间的 Spearman 相关系数为-0.67。进行受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析以检验判别验证。ROC 曲线分析中 HSTCM 及其各领域的曲线下面积为 0.71-0.87，所有 95%CI 的下限均大于 0.50。
