The 'extended activities of daily living scale' was given to 44 depressed stroke patients. All were more than 1 year after stroke. The completed forms were then Guttman scaled to find whether the ranking of the items was valid in this group of patients. The items were not passed in the order expected from the ranking. The results therefore suggest that all items should be assessed when using this scale with depressed stroke patients.
对44名中风后抑郁患者进行了“日常生活能力扩展量表”测试。所有患者均在中风1年以上。然后对填写完整的表格进行古特曼量表分析,以确定项目排名在该组患者中是否有效。各项目未按排名预期的顺序通过。因此,结果表明,在对中风后抑郁患者使用该量表时,应评估所有项目。
