A twenty-seven item life stress questionnaire was derived from the Holmes-Rahe Social Readjustment Rating Scale, modified for older respondents, and administered to sixty-two patients hospitalized for neuro-behavioral diagnosis and treatment. The aims were to focus on significant life stresses and the patients' responses to these, and to identify those life events that were subjectively evaluated by the patients as significantly affecting their life adjustment. The study suggests that fewer than twenty items--seventeen in this investigation--may be an efficient range of events to estimate life change effects and that the degree of impact of these stresses must be sought out systematically if these phenomena are to be better understood.
一份包含27个项目的生活压力问卷源自霍姆斯-拉赫社会再适应评定量表，并针对老年受访者进行了修改，该问卷被施用于62名因神经行为诊断和治疗而住院的患者。目的是关注重大生活压力以及患者对这些压力的反应，并确定那些被患者主观评估为对其生活适应有重大影响的生活事件。该研究表明，少于20个项目——本研究中为17个——可能是估计生活变化影响的有效事件范围，并且如果要更好地理解这些现象，就必须系统地找出这些压力的影响程度。
