Impairment of prospective memory (PM) is a common problem following traumatic brain injury (TBI) which can affect functional outcomes. PM failures in everyday life can be assessed using self-report questionnaires; however, existing measures tend to be lengthy, which may be problematic for individuals with fatigue and other cognitive impairments. This study aimed to develop a short form of the Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory (CAPM) and examine its psychometric properties. Using theoretical and statistical considerations, the number of items on the CAPM was reduced to 16 including equal numbers representing the basic activities of daily living (BADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) subscales. The psychometric properties of the new measure, named the Brief Assessment of Prospective Memory (BAPM), were examined by secondary analysis of data from two samples of community dwelling adults (aged 17 to 91 years, n = 527, and 15 to 60 years, n = 95) with no history of brain injury, and a sample of rehabilitation patients with moderate to severe TBI (n = 45). Results indicate that the BAPM has a robust factor structure, strong agreement with the original CAPM, acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and evidence of criterion-related validity with psychosocial integration as the point of reference for people with TBI.
前瞻性记忆（PM）损伤是创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后的常见问题，可影响功能预后。可使用自我报告问卷评估日常生活中的 PM 失败；然而，现有的测量方法往往冗长，这可能对患有疲劳和其他认知障碍的个体造成问题。本研究旨在开发一种简化版的综合前瞻性记忆评估（CAPM），并检验其心理测量学特性。通过理论和统计考虑，将 CAPM 的项目数减少至 16 项，包括代表基本日常生活活动（BADL）和工具性日常生活活动（IADL）分量表的数量相等的项目。通过对两个社区居住成年人样本（年龄 17 至 91 岁，n = 527；年龄 15 至 60 岁，n = 95）的二次分析，以及对有中度至重度 TBI 的康复患者样本（n = 45）的二次分析，对新测量方法，即简化版前瞻性记忆评估（BAPM）的心理测量特性进行了检验。结果表明，BAPM 具有稳健的因子结构，与原始 CAPM 高度一致，具有可接受的内部一致性和重测信度，以及与心理社会整合相关的标准有效性的证据，作为 TBI 患者的参考点。
