Overall, people with chronic illnesses have lower life satisfaction compared to nonclinical populations. The objective of this international study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
PD patients (n = 350) were recruited and interviewed at different specialized services in the United Kingdom, Spain, Czech Republic, Italy, and The Netherlands. A questionnaire set including a measure of life satisfaction, quality of life (QoL), self-reported health and disability status, and sociodemographic information was used. Acceptability, reliability, and validity were examined.
The internal consistency was good ( α = 0.81). The scale structure was satisfactory (comparative fit index = 0.99; root mean square error of approximation = 0.08). The SWLS was able to discriminate between healthy and unhealthy, disabled and nondisabled, and those perceiving a more severe impact of the disability on their lives. Concurrent validity using multiple linear regression models confirmed associations between SWLS and QoL and age.
This study is the first to report on the use of the SWLS in PD patients in different European countries. It is a useful tool in assessing satisfaction with life in PD patients through the continuum of care.
总体而言,与非临床人群相比,慢性病患者的生活满意度较低。这项国际研究的目的是检验帕金森病(PD)患者中生活满意度量表(SWLS)的心理测量特性。
在英国、西班牙、捷克共和国、意大利和荷兰的不同专科服务机构招募并访谈了350名PD患者。使用了一套问卷,包括生活满意度、生活质量(QoL)、自我报告的健康和残疾状况以及社会人口学信息的测量。检验了可接受性、信度和效度。
内部一致性良好(α = 0.81)。量表结构令人满意(比较拟合指数 = 0.99;近似均方根误差 = 0.08)。SWLS能够区分健康与不健康、残疾与非残疾以及那些认为残疾对其生活影响更严重的人群。使用多元线性回归模型的同时效度证实了SWLS与QoL和年龄之间的关联。
本研究首次报告了在不同欧洲国家的PD患者中使用SWLS的情况。它是通过连续护理评估PD患者生活满意度的有用工具。
