Attachment theory helps us to understand patients´ health behavior. Attachment styles might explain patient differences in coping behavior, self-treatment, or patient-provider relationships. In primary care time constrains are relevant. A short instrument may facilitate screening and assessment in daily medical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate a 12-item short version of the Experience in Close Relationships-revised (ECR-R-D) to be used in primary care settings. We included 249 patients from ten general practices in central Germany into a cross-sectional study. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the factor structure of the ECR-items. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess internal consistency. The results related to the short form of the ECR are in line with those of the German full-length version of the measure (ECR-RD 36). Internal consistencies were in an adequate range. The ECR short form can be recommended as a screening measure of attachment styles in primary care.
依恋理论有助于我们理解患者的健康行为。依恋风格可能解释患者在应对行为、自我治疗或医患关系方面的差异。在初级保健中，时间限制是相关的。一个简短的工具可能有助于日常医疗实践中的筛查和评估。本研究的目的是评估一个12项的亲密关系体验修订版简版（ECR-R-D），以用于初级保健环境。我们将来自德国中部十个普通诊所的249名患者纳入一项横断面研究。进行探索性因素分析以评估ECR项目的因素结构。使用克朗巴哈系数来评估内部一致性。与ECR简版相关的结果与该量表的德国完整版（ECR-RD 36）一致。内部一致性处于适当范围内。ECR简版可推荐作为初级保健中依恋风格的筛查工具。
