This paper is a report of the development and psychometric testing of the Swedish version of the Body Awareness Questionnaire to measure bodily focus of attention.
The Body Awareness Questionnaire has been identified as an instrument with excellent psychometric properties within the concept of body awareness. It has been used in both research and clinical settings in different contexts. However, a validated Swedish version is not available.
A cross-sectional design was applied for adaptation of the Body Awareness Questionnaire and psychometric validation. Data were collected between autumn 2009 and spring 2011 from 120 patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and from 120 students. The 'concurrent think aloud' method was used in a pre-test to determine the usability of the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha was used to test the internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the construct validity.
According to the confirmatory factor analysis, neither the one-factor model nor the four-factor model tested in this study fulfilled the pre-specified criteria in accordance with the Comparative Fit Index, Standardized Root Mean Squared Residual and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation. The value of Cronbach's alpha for the Swedish version of the Body Awareness Questionnaire was satisfactory.
Our results indicate that the two models tested in this study do not provide a good fit to the observed data. Further refinement and testing of the Swedish version of the Body Awareness Questionnaire is therefore required. The concept of body awareness may be useful in the management of chronic disease and can be addressed in nursing.
本文旨在报告身体觉察问卷瑞典语版的开发和心理测量学测试，以测量身体注意力焦点。
身体觉察问卷已被确定为身体觉察概念内具有优异心理测量特性的工具。它已在不同背景下的研究和临床环境中使用。然而，目前尚无经过验证的瑞典语版本。
采用横断面设计对身体觉察问卷进行改编和心理测量学验证。数据于 2009 年秋季至 2011 年春季期间从 120 名被诊断为类风湿关节炎的患者和 120 名学生中收集。在预测试中使用“同时思考 aloud”方法来确定问卷的可用性。使用克朗巴赫 α检验内部一致性，采用验证性因子分析检验结构有效性。
根据验证性因子分析，在符合比较拟合指数、标准化根均方残差和近似均方根误差的标准下，本研究测试的单因素模型和四因素模型均不符合预设标准。身体觉察问卷瑞典语版的克朗巴赫 α 值令人满意。
我们的研究结果表明，本研究测试的两种模型与观察数据拟合不佳。因此，需要进一步改进和测试身体觉察问卷的瑞典语版本。身体觉察的概念在慢性病管理中可能是有用的，并且可以在护理中得到解决。
