BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Wisconsin Smoking Withdrawal Scale (WSWS-K) for use in clinical practice and research on Korean smokers.
The Wisconsin Smoking Withdrawal Scale was translated into Korean and then back-translated into English. The authors reviewed the translation and back-translation and approved the final questionnaire draft. The validity and reliability of the WSWS-K were evaluated based on data collected from 300 participants. Construct validity was evaluated with a confirmatory factor analysis. Criterion-related validity was assessed by examining the relationships between the subscales of the WSWS-K and the matched items of the Korean version of the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS-K).
The participants were predominantly male (93.6%) and the mean age was 59.23 ± 15.19 years. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that fit indices (namely, the goodness-of-fit index, adjusted goodness-of-fit index, comparative fit index, and the normed fit index) exceeded or approached 0.9. Cronbach's alpha for the entire scale was 0.87. The total score of the WSWS-K had a statistically significant positive correlation with that of the MNWS-K (Pearson's correlation coefficient, 0.768; p < 0.01). Additionally, we performed linear regression between the WSWS-K and MNWS-K scores after adjusting for age, gender, comorbidity, and smoking history. After this adjustment, the p value of the WSWS- K was < 0.001.
The WSWS-K had satisfactory validity and reliability. The WSWS- K can be used with acceptable validity and reliability in research and clinical evaluation of Korean smokers.
背景/目的:本研究旨在评估威斯康星州戒烟量表(WSWS-K)韩文版在韩国吸烟者的临床实践和研究中的有效性和可靠性。
将威斯康星州戒烟量表翻译成韩文,然后再翻译回英文。作者对翻译和回译进行了审查,并批准了最终问卷草案。根据从 300 名参与者那里收集的数据,评估了 WSWS-K 的有效性和可靠性。通过验证性因子分析评估结构效度。通过检查 WSWS-K 的子量表与韩文版明尼苏达州尼古丁戒断量表(MNWS-K)的匹配项目之间的关系来评估效标关联效度。
参与者主要为男性(93.6%),平均年龄为 59.23 ± 15.19 岁。验证性因子分析显示,拟合指数(即,拟合优度指数、调整拟合优度指数、比较拟合指数和标准化拟合指数)均超过或接近 0.9。整个量表的克朗巴赫 α 为 0.87。WSWS-K 的总分与 MNWS-K 呈显著正相关(皮尔逊相关系数为 0.768;p < 0.01)。此外,我们在调整年龄、性别、合并症和吸烟史后,对 WSWS-K 和 MNWS-K 评分进行了线性回归。调整后,WSWS-K 的 p 值<0.001。
WSWS-K 具有令人满意的有效性和可靠性。WSWS-K 可以在韩国吸烟者的研究和临床评估中具有可接受的有效性和可靠性。
