To cross-culturally adapt and validate Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54) instrument.
The study which enrolled 134 Slovenian multiple sclerosis (MS) patients was conducted from March to December 2013. The internal consistency of the MSQOL-54 instrument was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α), and its dimensionality assessed by the principal component analysis (PCA).
The whole instrument had high internal consistency (α=0.88), as well as the majority of its twelve subscales (α=0.83-0.94). The results of the PCA showed two components with eigenvalue greater than 1, explaining 59.4% of the cumulative variance. Further results indicated good construct validity of the instrument with the physical health-related-quality-of-life subscales loading highly on the physical component, and mental health-related-quality-of-life subscales loading highly on the mental component.
The Slovenian version of the MSQOL-54 instrument proved to be an internally consistent and accurate tool, well accepted by the Slovenian MS patients. The adequate psychometric properties warrant the scientifically sound version of the MSQOL-54 instrument, which is from now on at disposal to all health professionals dealing with MS patients in Slovenia.
对多发性硬化症生活质量-54(MSQOL-54)量表进行跨文化调适及验证。
该研究于2013年3月至12月开展,纳入了134名斯洛文尼亚多发性硬化症(MS)患者。采用克朗巴赫α系数(α)评估MSQOL-54量表的内部一致性,并通过主成分分析(PCA)评估其维度。
整个量表具有较高的内部一致性(α=0.88),其十二个分量表中的大多数也具有较高的内部一致性(α=0.83 - 0.94)。主成分分析结果显示有两个特征值大于1的成分,解释了累积方差的59.4%。进一步结果表明该量表具有良好的结构效度,与身体健康相关生活质量分量表在身体成分上的负荷较高,与心理健康相关生活质量分量表在心理成分上的负荷较高。
斯洛文尼亚版的MSQOL-54量表被证明是一个内部一致且准确的工具,受到斯洛文尼亚MS患者的良好接受。其充分的心理测量学特性保证了MSQOL-54量表科学合理的版本,从现在起可供斯洛文尼亚所有治疗MS患者的医疗专业人员使用。
