Although the Japanese EuroQol instrument was developed in 1998 by a Japanese translation team, the reliability of health state valuations of the fuller questionnaire has not yet been investigated in Japan. We carried out a pilot study to investigate the reliability of health state valuations of the Japanese EuroQol instrument.
The survey was conducted twice with the fuller questionnaire of the Japanese EuroQol instrument in a class of preventive medicine. We analyzed test-retest reliability based on the health state valuations and calculated Cronbach's coefficient alpha of both tests.
The mean valuations of 14 hypothetical health states and 'death' between test and retest were not significantly different by paired t-test. The reliability by calculated correlation between test and retest was 0.996 (p<0.0001). In addition, Cronbach's coefficient alpha of the first test was 0.827, and that of the second test was 0.865. Although good reliability was shown in the present study, our conclusion was limited to applications of population-based surveys because of the small number and limited subjects of the present study. Further investigations are required in the form of a population-based survey.
虽然日本欧洲生命质量五维量表(EuroQol)于 1998 年由日本翻译团队开发,但该量表全量表的健康状况评分在日本尚未得到验证。我们进行了一项初步研究,旨在调查日本欧洲生命质量五维量表全量表健康状况评分的可靠性。
在预防医学的一个班级中,我们两次使用日本欧洲生命质量五维量表的全量表进行调查。我们根据健康状况评分分析了测试-重测信度,并计算了两次测试的克朗巴赫系数 α。
配对 t 检验显示,测试和重测之间的 14 个假设健康状态和“死亡”的平均评分无显著差异。通过测试和重测之间的计算相关性得出的可靠性为 0.996(p<0.0001)。此外,第一次测试的克朗巴赫系数 α 为 0.827,第二次测试的为 0.865。尽管本研究显示了良好的可靠性,但由于研究对象数量有限且仅限于特定人群,我们的结论仅限于基于人群的调查应用。需要进一步以基于人群的调查形式进行研究。
