Two foot health inventories, the Foot Function Index and the Foot Health Status Questionnaire, are evaluated in terms of the developmental procedures used to create them. Both instruments have a number of deficiencies with regard to the initial stages of their development and with their purported reliability and validity. These deficiencies indicate that these instruments may have limited value and that in both clinical and research situations they may not produce sufficiently accurate or informative results. Given that these instruments are typical of many self-referent instruments used in health contexts, clinicians and researchers should carefully evaluate the credentials of such instruments before using them. This article demonstrates how such evaluations might be conducted.
对两种足部健康调查问卷——足部功能指数和足部健康状况问卷，从其编制所采用的发展程序方面进行了评估。这两种工具在其发展的初始阶段以及其声称的信度和效度方面都存在一些缺陷。这些缺陷表明这些工具的价值可能有限，并且在临床和研究情境中它们可能无法产生足够准确或有用的结果。鉴于这些工具是健康领域中许多自我参照工具的典型代表，临床医生和研究人员在使用此类工具之前应仔细评估其资质。本文展示了如何进行此类评估。
