This study reports the development and preliminary validation of an instrument to measure geriatrics knowledge of primary care residents. A 23-item test was developed using questions selected from the American Geriatrics Society's Geriatrics Review Syllabus. Ninety-six internal medicine and family practice residents, 14 geriatrics fellows, and 11 geriatrics faculty members participated in the study. Findings support the reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.66) and validity (content and "known groups") of this short test. Predictive validity and sensitivity of the test to changes in knowledge will have to be further explored as residents progress through their training.
本研究报告了一种用于测量基层医疗住院医师老年医学知识的工具的开发及初步验证情况。通过从美国老年医学会的《老年医学复习大纲》中选取问题，编制了一份包含23个条目的测试题。96名内科和家庭医学住院医师、14名老年医学研究员以及11名老年医学教员参与了该研究。研究结果支持了这项简短测试的信度（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.66）和效度（内容效度及“已知群组”效度）。随着住院医师培训的推进，该测试在知识变化方面的预测效度和敏感性还有待进一步探究。
