To provide New Zealand population norms for version 2 of the SF-36 and SF-12 health surveys and report scoring coefficients that enable the construction of Physical and Mental Component Summary scores from New Zealand SF-36v2 and SF-12v2 data.
Norms for the SF-36v2 and scoring coefficients for the Physical and Mental Component Summary scores are estimated using 2006/07 New Zealand Health Survey data, which included 12,488 adults (aged 15 years and over). Norms for the SF-12v2 are derived from 2008 New Zealand General Social Survey data, including 8,721 adults. Comparisons are made between New Zealand norms for versions 1 and 2 of the SF-36 instrument. In addition, New Zealand SF-36v2 and SF-12v2 norms and the scoring coefficients are compared with those for the United States and South Australia.
Differences between: 1) New Zealand population norms for the SF-36 versions 1 and 2; and 2) SF-36v2 and SF-12v2 population norms for New Zealand and those for the United States and South Australia highlight the importance of using version-specific and country-specific population norms.
The analysis reported here allows for the appropriate use of the SF-36v2 and SF-12v2 instruments in New Zealand.
为新西兰人群提供 SF-36 和 SF-12 健康调查版本 2 的常模，并报告评分系数，以便从新西兰 SF-36v2 和 SF-12v2 数据构建身体和心理成分综合评分。
使用 2006/07 年新西兰健康调查数据估计 SF-36v2 的常模和身体与心理成分综合评分的评分系数，该调查包括 12488 名成年人（15 岁及以上）。SF-12v2 的常模来自 2008 年新西兰综合社会调查数据，包括 8721 名成年人。比较了 SF-36 仪器版本 1 和 2 的新西兰常模。此外，还比较了新西兰 SF-36v2 和 SF-12v2 的常模和评分系数与美国和南澳大利亚的常模和评分系数。
新西兰 SF-36 版本 1 和 2 的人群常模之间的差异；以及新西兰 SF-36v2 和 SF-12v2 人群常模与美国和南澳大利亚的常模之间的差异，强调了使用特定版本和特定国家的人群常模的重要性。
这里报告的分析允许在新西兰适当使用 SF-36v2 和 SF-12v2 工具。
