The aim of the study was to analyze the reliability of the Korean version of the NEWS and to investigate the relationship between walking and environmental factors by gender.
A total of 1407 Korean adults, aged 20-59 yr, participated in the study. Data were collected between Sep 2013 and Oct 2013. To examine the test-retest reliability, 281 of the 1407 participants were asked to answer the same questionnaire (Korean NEWS-A scale) after a 7-d interval.
The ICC range of the entire questionnaire was 0.71-0.88. The item on land use mix-diversity had the highest ICC, and that on physical barriers had the lowest. In addition, presents the partial correlation coefficients for walking and the NEWS-A score, adjusted for social demographic variables. Overall, land use mix-diversity (<0.034) and land use mix-access (<0.014) showed a positive relationship with walking.
Examination of the reliability of the Korean NEWS-A scale based on Korean adults who reside in large cities showed that all items had statistically satisfactory reliability. Korean NEWS-A scale may be a useful measure for assessing environmental correlates of walking among population in Korea.
本研究旨在分析韩国版 NEWS 的可靠性,并按性别调查步行与环境因素之间的关系。
共有 1407 名年龄在 20 - 59 岁的韩国成年人参与了本研究。数据收集于 2013 年 9 月至 2013 年 10 月期间。为检验重测信度,在 1407 名参与者中,281 人被要求在间隔 7 天后回答相同问卷(韩国 NEWS - A 量表)。
整个问卷的组内相关系数(ICC)范围为 0.71 - 0.88。土地利用混合多样性项目的 ICC 最高,物理障碍项目的 ICC 最低。此外,给出了经社会人口统计学变量调整后的步行与 NEWS - A 得分的偏相关系数。总体而言,土地利用混合多样性(<0.034)和土地利用混合可达性(<0.014)与步行呈正相关。
基于居住在大城市的韩国成年人对韩国 NEWS - A 量表的信度检验表明,所有项目在统计学上都具有令人满意的信度。韩国 NEWS - A 量表可能是评估韩国人群中步行与环境相关性的有用指标。
