CONTEXT
The Caregiver Pain Medicine Questionnaire is designed to measure caregiver agreement with statements regarding pain management. However, little testing has been done to determine its reliability and validity.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the study was to test the factorial validity of scores from the Caregiver Pain Medicine Questionnaire as hypothesized by the original study authors.
METHODS
Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess whether the subscales postulated by the instrument authors could be replicated in external data.
RESULTS
Fit statistics reveal an unsatisfactory fit between the hypothesized model and the observed data.
CONCLUSION
The theoretical model hypothesized by the original study authors was not confirmed. Results lead us to conclude that the instrument is poor and should not be used. Further research is needed to define content domains and validate the items developed to assess them.
背景
照顾者疼痛药物问卷旨在衡量照顾者对有关疼痛管理陈述的认同度。然而，为确定其信度和效度所做的测试很少。
目的
本研究的目的是检验照顾者疼痛药物问卷得分的因子效度，正如原始研究作者所假设的那样。
方法
进行验证性因子分析，以评估该工具作者假定的子量表是否能在外部数据中得到复制。
结果
拟合统计显示，假设模型与观察数据之间的拟合度不理想。
结论
原始研究作者假设的理论模型未得到证实。结果使我们得出结论，该工具质量不佳，不应使用。需要进一步研究来界定内容领域，并验证为评估这些领域而编制的项目。
