The Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (NDSS) was applied to a sample of 241 smokers who demanded treatment to stop smoking. The results indicate good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.80) of the general factor that evaluates nicotine dependence (NDSS-T), and the five original factors obtained by factor analysis are confirmed (drive, continuity, tolerance, priority and stereotypy). The NDSS-T correlates significantly with the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, with DSM-IV diagnostic criteria assessed with the SCID, the number of cigarettes smoked and carbon monoxide in expired air. The ROC curves show that the NDSS-T has a score of 0.86 under the curve, which indicates a good prediction of nicotine dependence. All the results obtained in this study indicate the utility of this scale to assess nicotine dependence in smokers.
尼古丁依赖综合征量表(NDSS)应用于241名寻求戒烟治疗的吸烟者样本。结果表明,评估尼古丁依赖的一般因素(NDSS-T)具有良好的信度(克朗巴哈系数α = 0.80),并且通过因子分析得到的五个原始因子(冲动性、持续性、耐受性、优先性和刻板性)得到了证实。NDSS-T与尼古丁依赖的Fagerström测试、通过SCID评估的DSM-IV诊断标准、吸烟数量和呼出气体中的一氧化碳显著相关。ROC曲线显示,NDSS-T的曲线下得分为0.86,这表明对尼古丁依赖有良好的预测能力。本研究获得的所有结果表明,该量表在评估吸烟者尼古丁依赖方面具有实用性。
