To develop a questionnaire to measure satisfaction with abilities and well-being of persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
We used data from a panel study of persons with RA (n = 446). The 13 items of the Satisfaction with Abilities and Well-Being Scale (SAWS) were based on problematic aspects of RA and domains of life activities.
The SAWS demonstrated internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93). Two subscales were identified, Satisfaction with Abilities and Satisfaction with Well-Being, which also demonstrated internal consistency (alpha = 0.91 and alpha = 0.82, respectively). Construct validity was supported by significant correlations with psychosocial and clinical variables. After controlling for demographic, psychosocial, and clinical characteristics, there was a significant inverse association between SAWS scores and depressive symptoms scores.
The SAWS appears to be a valid and reliable measure of satisfaction with abilities and well-being among persons with RA. Longitudinal studies will examine the role of satisfaction in the development of depressive symptoms.
编制一份问卷，用于测量类风湿关节炎（RA）患者对自身能力及幸福感的满意度。
我们使用了一项针对RA患者的面板研究（n = 446）的数据。能力与幸福感满意度量表（SAWS）的13个条目基于RA的问题方面及生活活动领域。
SAWS显示出内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数 = 0.93）。确定了两个子量表，即能力满意度和幸福感满意度，它们也显示出内部一致性（α系数分别为0.91和0.82）。结构效度通过与心理社会和临床变量的显著相关性得到支持。在控制了人口统计学、心理社会和临床特征后，SAWS得分与抑郁症状得分之间存在显著的负相关。
SAWS似乎是一种有效且可靠的测量RA患者对自身能力及幸福感满意度的工具。纵向研究将考察满意度在抑郁症状发展中的作用。
