癌症患者生命质量测定量表体系共性模块的研制(二):信度与效度分析

背景与目的:我们已经开发了癌症患者生命质量测定量表体系共性模块(quality of life instruments for cancer patients-general module,QLICP-GM),但其心理测量学特性有待考评.本研究拟考评QLICP-GM的信度与效度.方法:用QLICP-GM对600例肺癌、乳腺癌、大肠癌、胃癌和头颈癌患者的生命质量进行测定和评价,用相关分析、配对t检验、等效检验、结构方程模型等统计学方法分析QLICP-GM的信度和效度;同时与FACT-G量表测定和评价结果比较,分析QLICP-GM的效标效度.结果:QLICP-GM各领域及总量表的重测信度均在0.85以上,除社会功能外各领域内部一致性信度α值均在0.70以上,总量表的α值和分半信度分别为0.88和0.93;相关分析与结构方程模型分析显示量表有较好的结构效度:与FACT-G的相关分析显示有较好的效标关联效度.结论:QLICPGM具有较好的信度和效度,可用于癌症患者生命质量测定.

Development of the general module of the system of quality of life instruments for cancer patients: reliability and validity analysis

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The general module of the system of quality of life instruments for cancer patients (QLICP-GM) has been developed by us, but its psychologic properties need to be evaluated. This study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of QLICP-GM. METHODS: The QOL data of 600 patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and head and neck cancer were analyzed by paired t-tests, correlation analysis, equivalence tests, and structural equation models to evaluate QLICP-GM. RESULTS: The test-retest reliability for all domains and the overall scale was above 0.85. Internal consistency alpha values for all domains except social function domain were above 0.70. The alpha value and split-half reliability of the overall scale were 0.88 and 0.93, respectively. Correlation analyses and structural equation models displayed good construction validity of the scale. It also showed good criterion-related validity when FACT-G was used as the criterion. CONCLUSION: QLICP-GM can be used to measure QOL for cancer patients with good reliability and validity.
