The Life Events Checklist is a brief screening instrument that is used for potentially traumatic events such as accidents, disasters, sexual or physical assaults, or combat-related exposures. The original English version was recently tested for reliability and validity and it showed good psychometric properties, and so its use is recommended for the assessment of trauma.
This study investigated the reliability and validity of a Life Events Checklist-Korean version in 157 consecutive psychiatric outpatients at a university-affiliated teaching hospital. The questionnaire also included the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Correlation and principal component analyses were conducted.
The four week test-retest reliability was good and the internal consistency was acceptable. In addition, the number of traumatic events was significantly correlated with the posttraumatic depressive and anxiety symptoms, which demonstrated the convergent validity of the scale. Additionally, exploratory factor analysis identified a six-factor structure that explained 57.2% of the total variance.
These findings support the reliability and validity of the Life Events Checklist-Korean version.
生活事件检查表是一种用于潜在创伤性事件的简短筛查工具,例如事故、灾难、性或身体攻击,或与战斗相关的暴露。最近对原始英文版本进行了可靠性和有效性测试,结果表明其具有良好的心理测量特性,因此建议将其用于创伤评估。
本研究在一家大学附属医院的 157 名连续精神科门诊患者中调查了生活事件检查表-韩文版的可靠性和有效性。该问卷还包括事件影响量表修订版(IES-R)、贝克抑郁量表(BDI)和状态特质焦虑量表(STAI)。进行了相关分析和主成分分析。
四周重测信度良好,内部一致性可接受。此外,创伤事件的数量与创伤后抑郁和焦虑症状显著相关,这表明了该量表的聚合效度。此外,探索性因素分析确定了一个包含六个因素的结构,可解释总方差的 57.2%。
这些发现支持生活事件检查表-韩文版的可靠性和有效性。
