In recent years a variety of questionnaires has been used to identify subjects with psychological illness in both community and hospital settings. Most questionnaires, unfortunately, lack of clinical validity, and, to date, none has been validated for an Australian sample. The present study describes a validation of the General Health Questionnaire in a sample of general-practice patients in Sydney, and finds this instrument to be an efficient, reliable, and valid index of non-psychotic psychological impairment.
近年来,各种问卷被用于在社区和医院环境中识别患有心理疾病的个体。不幸的是,大多数问卷缺乏临床效度,并且迄今为止,尚无一份问卷在澳大利亚样本中得到验证。本研究描述了在悉尼全科医疗患者样本中对一般健康问卷的验证情况,并发现该工具是一种有效、可靠且能反映非精神病性心理障碍的指标。
