The development and validation of a short and simple measure of perceived health problems is described. Extensive testing with selected groups, including the elderly, the chronically ill, pregnant women, fracture victims, and a random sample of the community has established the face, content and criterion validity, and the reliability of the instrument. The Nottingham Health Profile is intended as a standardized tool for the survey of health problems in a population, but is equally valid and useful as a means of evaluating the outcome of medical and/or social interventions and as an adjunct to the clinical interview.
本文描述了一种简短且简单的感知健康问题测量方法的开发与验证过程。通过对特定群体(包括老年人、慢性病患者、孕妇、骨折患者以及社区随机样本)进行广泛测试,确立了该测量工具的表面效度、内容效度、标准效度以及信度。诺丁汉健康概况旨在作为一种标准化工具,用于调查人群中的健康问题,但它同样有效地适用于评估医疗和/或社会干预的结果,并且可作为临床问诊的辅助手段。
