In this article the development of a self-rating symptom questionnaire is described. The questionnaire records physical, psychological and social-interactionary impairments typical for neurotic and psychosomatic disorders. Contrary to most of the established self-assessment instruments the KOPS-questionnaire consequently records symptoms from these three areas. The questionnaire contains 64 items scaled on four steps and can be filled out by the test person in a short period of time. The results depicted here from different sample groups which were examined verify the differential and criterion related validity and furthermore an explorative factor analysis also verifies the content validity. The instrument is suited for screening purposes as well as for clinical course studies of psychological disorders. The problems of the assessor perspective (by an expert or by a patient) in recording symptoms is discussed.
本文描述了一种自评症状问卷的开发。该问卷记录了神经症和心身疾病典型的身体、心理和社会互动方面的损伤。与大多数已有的自我评估工具不同，KOPS问卷相应地记录了这三个领域的症状。该问卷包含64个按四个等级划分的项目，测试者可以在短时间内填写完毕。这里展示的来自不同被检查样本组的结果验证了区分效度和与标准相关的效度，此外，探索性因素分析也验证了内容效度。该工具适用于筛查目的以及心理障碍的临床病程研究。文中还讨论了评估者视角（由专家或患者进行评估）在记录症状方面的问题。
