At present general practitioners lack a tool for defining the level of disability of individual patients and groups of patients with arthritis. An assessment technique (health assessment questionnaire) developed in the United States is described, and its use in general practice evaluated. Sixty two patients agreed to be visited at home to compare their observed abilities when performing the tasks of the health assessment questionnaire. The health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) is easily understood and takes patients only 10-15 minutes to complete. The numerical scores (range 0-3) for disability obtained on the postal questionnaire are close to the observed scores when patients are visited at home.
目前,全科医生缺乏一种工具来界定关节炎患者个体及患者群体的残疾程度。本文介绍了一种在美国开发的评估技术(健康评估问卷),并对其在全科医疗中的应用进行了评估。62名患者同意接受家访,以便比较他们在完成健康评估问卷任务时的实际能力。健康评估问卷(HAQ)易于理解,患者只需10 - 15分钟即可完成。通过邮寄问卷获得的残疾程度数值评分(范围为0 - 3)与患者在家访时的实际评分相近。
