The aim of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in the men who have sex with men (MSM) population in China.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 373 MSM from September to December, 2012, in Zhengzhou and Huludao City, China. Internal reliability of the questionnaire was calculated by Cronbach's α coefficient. Validity was analyzed through construct validity, divisional validity, and collective validity testing.
The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the SF-36 questionnaire was 0.943, while the Cronbach's α coefficients for each of the dimensions were all > 0.70. Results showed that the SF-36 questionnaire was reliable and valid.
This study provided evidence that the SF-36 is an acceptable, valid and reliable instrument in evaluating the quality of life of MSM in Mainland China.
本研究旨在评估36项简明健康状况调查问卷(SF - 36)在中国男男性行为者(MSM)人群中的心理测量学特性。
2012年9月至12月,在中国郑州和葫芦岛市对373名男男性行为者进行了横断面调查。通过Cronbach's α系数计算问卷的内部信度。通过结构效度、区分效度和聚合效度检验分析效度。
SF - 36问卷的总体Cronbach's α系数为0.943,而各维度的Cronbach's α系数均>0.70。结果表明,SF - 36问卷可靠且有效。
本研究提供了证据,表明SF - 36是评估中国大陆男男性行为者生活质量的一种可接受、有效且可靠的工具。
