The authors describe an 11-item short form of the Profile of Mood States' 58-item Total Mood Disturbance Score (TMDS). The Brief TMDS was derived from a sample of 619 adults with mixed cancer diagnoses, and replicated on a second sample of 295 lung cancer patients. Internal consistency of the Brief TMDS and the correlations of the Brief TMDS with the full TMDS were highly satisfactory for both samples. Given the difficulty many medically ill people have with lengthy self-report scales, and the increasing importance of measuring distress as an adjunct to patient care, this measure shows promise as a rapid, reliable tool.
作者描述了一种情绪状态剖面图58项总情绪紊乱量表（TMDS）的11项简短形式。简短TMDS源自619名患有多种癌症诊断的成年人样本，并在295名肺癌患者的第二个样本上进行了复制。对于两个样本，简短TMDS的内部一致性以及简短TMDS与完整TMDS的相关性都非常令人满意。鉴于许多患病的人在使用冗长的自我报告量表时存在困难，以及将痛苦程度作为患者护理辅助指标进行测量的重要性日益增加，该测量方法有望成为一种快速、可靠的工具。
