The Rand Corporation medical outcomes short-form 36 health survey (SF-36) is a multidimensional measure of self-perceived general health status, which has been validated in adult populations in the United States and Great Britain, and, more recently, in an Australian population. The SF-36 is increasingly being used in health outcomes research internationally, mainly as a self-administered tool, and clearly has potential for use in Australia. This study aimed to assess the acceptability, reliability and validity of telephone administration of the instrument in the Queensland adult population, and to provide reliable population norms. We report the results of a telephone survey in which we interviewed 12,793 adults. It was the first large-scale, statewide application of the SF-36 in Australia. A response rate of 82 per cent was achieved, and the SF-36 satisfied psychometric criteria for reliability and construct validity. Population norms broken down by age and sex are provided. They will be important for the interpretation of future studies using the SF-36 in particular population or patient groups.
兰德公司医学结果简表36健康调查（SF - 36）是一种对自我感知的总体健康状况的多维度测量方法，该方法已在美国和英国的成年人群体中得到验证，最近在澳大利亚人群体中也得到了验证。SF - 36在国际健康结果研究中越来越多地被使用，主要作为一种自我管理工具，显然在澳大利亚也有使用潜力。本研究旨在评估该工具在昆士兰成年人群体中通过电话方式进行管理的可接受性、可靠性和有效性，并提供可靠的人群常模。我们报告了一项电话调查的结果，在该调查中我们采访了12793名成年人。这是SF - 36在澳大利亚首次在全州范围内大规模应用。实现了82%的回复率，并且SF - 36满足了可靠性和结构效度的心理测量标准。提供了按年龄和性别划分的人群常模。它们对于解释未来在特定人群或患者群体中使用SF - 36的研究将很重要。
