Abstract
Common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are prevalent globally, and rates are especially high in New York City (NYC) since the COVID-19 pandemic. Neighborhood social and physical environments have been found to influence mental health. We investigated the impact of neighborhood social cohesion and neighborhood rodent sightings (as an indicator of neighborhood cleanliness) on nonspecific serious psychological distress (NSPD) status using 2020 NYC Community Health Survey data from 8781 NYC residents. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationships among social cohesion, rodent sightings, and NSPD adjusted for confounders and complex sampling and weighted to the NYC population. Effect measure modification of rodent sightings on the effect of social cohesion on NSPD was evaluated on the multiplicative scale by adding the interaction term to the multivariable model and, if significant, stratifying on the effect modifier, and on the additive scale using the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Social cohesion was found to decrease the odds of NSPD, and rodent sightings were found to increase the odds of NSPD. We found significant evidence of effect measure modification on the multiplicative scale. In the stratified models, there was a protective effect of social cohesion against NSPD among those not reporting rodent sightings, but no effect among those reporting rodent sightings. Our findings suggest that both neighborhood social cohesion and rodent sightings impact the mental health of New Yorkers and that rodent infestations may diminish the benefit of neighborhood social cohesion.

[PMID: 38212717 PMCID: PMC10785474 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-08991-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the construct validity and reliability of the Iranian version of the COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale (C19-YRS) among the elderly population. METHOD A cohort of 230 elderly individuals who tested positive for Covid-19 via PCR were administered a health and demographic information questionnaire along with the C19-YRS. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, and Cronbach's alpha was calculated. RESULTS Findings from the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the C19-YRS revealed alterations compared to the original version, resulting in an adapted version with three factors achieved by redistributing the questions. These factors accounted for 57.46% of the total variance. Despite a relatively lower factor loading in the 6th question, it was retained due to its significance among the elderly. The Cronbach's alpha for the C19-YRS subscales ranged from 0.730 to 0.890, indicating acceptable reliability. CONCLUSION The validation results indicated a well-adjusted factor structure and internal consistency, affirming the utility of this tool among the elderly population. Consequently, the C19-YRS in Iran can serve as a valuable resource in healthcare settings, aiding in the assessment of chronic complications arising from Covid-19 in the elderly. It can be utilized as an initial screening or triage test and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.

Abstract
Background Nurses have to work different and often irregular shifts to provide care. This puts nurses at health risks, such as sleep impairment. Design and methods The aim of this study was to test the comprehensive conceptual framework for predicting shift work sleep disorder of female nurses, we used a structural equation model analysis based on shift worker's coping and transactional stress coping theory. This study used a cross-sectional design. We collected the data from three public hospitals and three private hospitals in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, with a total sample of 201 female shift work nurses. Data were collected from February to April 2020. We were also granted permission by the director and the head nurse of these hospitals. After obtaining the informed consent forms, we distributed the online self-report questionnaire using Google Forms. Demographic data were evaluated using descriptive statistical analysis. We used a structural equation model analysis to test the comprehensive conceptual framework for predicting shift work sleep disorder of female shift work nurses. Results The model's effectiveness in predicting factors contributing to shift work sleep disorder was confirmed by the good statistical fit indicated by the comparative fit index, root-mean-square error of approximation, incremental fit index, and Tucker Lewis Index. Conclusions This study provides evidences that workload and interpersonal conflict contribute to occupational stress. Workload, interpersonal conflict, and the biological sleep clock influences shift work sleep disorder through mediators of coping strategies and stress.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer patients with post-chemotherapy had self-care deficit problems. The patient is unable to perform activities of daily living which can decrease the quality of life. One of the factors that affected self-care deficit among breast cancer patients was inadequate information. This study aimed to determine the effects of peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning on the self-care demand. Design and methods This study used a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest. The independent variable of the study was the application of peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning and the dependent variable was the self-care demand. The inclusion criteria in this study were breast cancer patients with post-chemotherapy. The exclusion criteria in this study were patients who were unconscious. We selected the experimental and control group randomly. The total sample in this study was 60 people, 30 respondents for the experiment group and 30 respondents for the control group. Peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning was developed from Wauchope's psychoeducational theory, Orem's self-care, and David Kolb's experiential learning. We used a self-report questionnaire to measure self-care demand. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results Peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning has a significant effect on self-care demand, namely ADL (p = 0.002), pain management (p = 0.002), nutritional management (p = 0.000), and rest and sleep (p = 0.000). Conclusion Psychoeducation based on experiential learning was recommended for nursing care or physician to increase self-care demand.

Abstract
Introduction Healthcare workers have been suffering from workplace violence in alarming numbers, showing the importance of its prevention initiative. This study aims to develop and validate a new questionnaire to assess the perception and practice scores of workplace violence prevention among employers at healthcare facilities. Methods Existing literature has been reviewed to establish the domains and refine the items. The first drafted domain was the perception constructed by six components and 59 items. The second drafted domain was practice, consisting of six components and 41 items. Content validation was measured by a panel of experts using the item-level content validity index (I-CVI). Then, face validation analysis was carried out among 10 healthcare employers and presented as the item-level face validity index (I-FVI). Lastly, 222 participants were recruited to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaire by using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and internal consistency reliability. Results Following content validation, two items in the practice domain were removed because of the I-CVI below 0.78. The I-CVI values of the remaining items for both domains were above 0.78, indicating good relevancy of 59 items to assess the perception and 39 items to evaluate the practice domains. The I-FVI values for both domains were above 0.80, suggesting that the participants easily understood the questionnaire. Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant for both domains (p<0.001). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure was 0.879 for the perception domain and 0.941 for the practice domain. All items load above 0.6 in their respective factor. In addition, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of reliability test ranged from 0.71 to 0.92 and from 0.82 to 0.97 for the perception and practice domains, respectively. The final revised questionnaire consisted of nine components (35 items) for perception and four components (27 items) for practice. Conclusion The newly developed set of questionnaires is a valid and reliable tool to assess the perception and practice of workplace violence prevention among employers at healthcare facilities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore factors associated with prescribing confidence and competence of final-year medical students for prescribing antiplatelet and fibrinolytic agents in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS The study was conducted among final-year medical students with a triangular convergent mixed-methods approach. First, an online survey was conducted using a voluntary sampling method with concurrent in-depth interviews performed. The survey data was analysed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests, while survey factors were compared using the chi-squared or Fisher's exact test. The interview data were coded and analysed thematically. The relations between the qualitative and quantitative findings were finally described. RESULTS Totally 92 validly replied to the questionnaire, and 20 participated in the interviews. The quantitative analysis indicated that they had high competence in the diagnosis of STEMI and prescribing antiplatelet and fibrinolytic agents. The mean confidence score of prescribing for both was medium and was significantly lower in fibrinolytic agents. (M=3.3, SD=1.1 vs. M=2.8, SD=1.0, t(91)=5.39, p<0.01). Their experience, knowledge, and mentoring were accounted for, considering the prescribing confidence factors in both approaches. Besides, providing guidelines and standing orders were derived from the interview data. CONCLUSIONS This study has demonstrated that final-year medical students have a high ability to diagnose and prescribe essential medications in STEMI but tend to have low confidence in prescribing fibrinolytic agents. Experiential learning, mentorship and providing guidelines can help them, especially in emergency settings to prescribe confidently and safely. Further multicenter studies on undergraduate and graduate medical students' confidence and perspective of prescribing are required, especially for high-alert medications.

Abstract
Background: Religious health fatalism belief that health outcome is only determined by
God without seeking treatment. Tools are needed to measure fatalism among
patients with chronic disease, especially diabetic foot ulcer (DFU)
patients. The aim of this study was to conduct psychometric test of
religious health fatalism questionnaire (RHFQ) including translation,
validation, reliability, and cut-off point among DFU out-patients. Design and methods: This study employed cross sectional design, using self-report questionnaire.
Data were collected from diabetes clinic in five hospitals, Indonesia. The
inclusion criteria were patients who had history of DFU more than 2 years.
Total sample in this study was 184 patients. This study was conducted from
April to June 2021. Permission to use the RHFQ was permitted by the original
author. We conducted translation and adaptation questionnaire to Bahasa. We
employed reliability test with internal consistency, construct validity, and
convergent validity. Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory
factor analysis (EFA). Cut-off point RHS was analyzed using receiver
operating characteristic (ROC). ROC was evaluated using correlation score
between total score RHFQ and CDRISC-25 Indonesia version. Previous study
mentioned that resilience is a predictor of religious. The Cronbach’s alpha
for RHFQ Indonesia version was adequate. Results: EFA showed adequate with Kaiser–Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.72 and the
Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant. According to ROC curve
analysis, the cut-off point at a score 67.5 indicated the best sensitivity
and specificity. Conclusions: RHFQ Indonesia version had reliability and validity for screening religious
health fatalism among DFU outpatients.

Abstract
The world faces unprecedented challenges because of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Existing theories of human flourishing and coping efficacy are too broad and general to address COVID-19 unprecedented mental health challenges. This study examined two main objectives, first the associations between psychological outcomes (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) and psychological wellbeing of this phenomenon, and second, moderating and mediating factors emotions, resilience and coping self-efficacy. A nationwide survey was carried out on a Malaysian sample (n = 920). Participants completed an on-line survey that assessed psychological outcomes, psychological wellbeing, positive-negative emotions, resilience, and coping self-efficacy. The relationship between psychological states and psychological wellbeing was successfully mediated by coping self-efficacy (direct effects of -0.31 to -0.46 at p < 0.01) and resilience (direct effects of -0.06 to -0.26 at p < 0.01). Moreover, positive emotion significantly moderated depression (b = -0.02, p < 0.01) and anxiety (b = -0.14, p = 0.05) with psychological wellbeing. Findings highlighted the importance of these factors in developing a dedicated model to be built into the recovery plan to ameliorate the negative impact of COVID-19 on psychological wellbeing. Hence, the Positive Emotion-Resilience-Coping Efficacy Model was developed.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die faktorielle Struktur und die Messinvarianz der Kid-KINDL Selbst- und Fremdeinschätzung bei 8- bis 11-jährigen psychisch kranken Kindern untersucht (Kid-KINDLSelbst: N = 441, Mädchen: 52 %, Jungen: 48 %, Alter: M = 9.44, SD = 1.12; Kid-KINDLFremd: N = 462, Mädchen: 55 %, Jungen: 45 %, Alter: M = 9.51, SD = 1.11). An einer ersten Stichprobe ergaben sich in Explorativen Faktorenanalysen Hinweise auf zwei zusätzliche Psychopathologie-Faktoren. Mit konfirmatorischen Faktorenanalysen wurden an einer zweiten Stichprobe unterschiedliche Modelle untersucht. Das Modell mit Doppelladungen krankheitsassoziierter Items auf den HRQoL-Faktoren und Psychopathologie-Faktoren zeigte die beste Modellanpassung, wobei die HRQoL-Dimensionen mit den Pathologie-Faktoren unkorreliert waren. Zwischen Selbst- und Fremdeinschätzung konnte partielle metrische Invarianz nachgewiesen werden. Die Eindimensionalität einiger Items muss aufgrund der Ergebnisse angezweifelt werden, was eine valide Erfassung einiger HRQoL-Dimensionen einschränken dürfte. Für den Einsatz in der Qualitätssicherung empfehlen sich die Kid-KINDL Skalen Selbstwert, Familie und Freunde.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of Study 1 is to identify the psychometric assessment and reporting practices of authors who have analyzed data from the Kessler Abbreviated Psychological Distress Scale (K6), collected in Canadian population surveys. The goal of Study 2 is to compare the performance of six reliability coefficients estimated from K6 data. METHODS In Study 1, 71 publications using the K6 were reviewed and synthesized using an analysis grid. In Study 2, analyses were performed to compare the performance of the alpha coefficient to five other reliability coefficients using data from the 2009-2010 and 2013-2014 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Specifically, we estimated all six coefficient values, as well as their confidence intervals, regarding all respondents and respondent subgroups. RESULTS Out of the 71 publications identified in Study 1, only nine reported a reliability coefficient drawn from their own sample. Even though no condition essential to use of the alpha coefficient was mentioned, it was the only coefficient presented. In Study 2, the values of all the other coefficients were found to be higher than those of the alpha coefficient. Significant variations were found in some respondent subgroups. CONCLUSION Existing recommendations for the use of reliability coefficients are poorly implemented. It behooves authors to provide more information in their manuscripts, thereby enabling assessment of the psychometric qualities of the K6. The presentation of reliability coefficients for relevant subgroups and confidence intervals must also become standard practice, so that results can be more precisely interpreted.

The aim of the present studies was to provide a psychometric evaluation of a version of the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) for assessing motivations derived from self-determination theory for responsible drinking among college students. Methods: A convenience sample of 308 college student drinkers (71.7% female) were recruited for Study 1 and a random sample of 192 college student drinkers (58.9% female) were recruited for Study 2. Participants completed the TSRQ and other self-report measures in both studies. Results: In Study 1, confirmatory factor analyses supported a revised four-factor structure of the TSRQ. In Study 2, correlation analyses generally provided support for the concurrent validity of the TSRQ subscales. Conclusion: The present studies provide some initial support for the TSRQ for assessing motivations for responsible drinking. Directions for future research and implications of a measure for assessing motivations for responsible drinking among college students are discussed.

Measuring job stress in transportation workers: psychometric properties, convergent validity and reliability of the ERI and JCQ among professional drivers. BMC Public Health 2021; 21:1594. [PMID: 34454472 PMCID: PMC8399823 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-11575-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The accumulated evidence has shown how professional drivers are, in psychosocial terms, among the most vulnerable workforces, and how their crashes (some of them preceded by stressful working conditions) constitute both an occupational and public health concern. However, there is a clear lack of validated tools for measuring stress and other key hazardous issues affecting transport workers, and most of the existing ones, frequently generic, do not fully consider the specific features that properly describe the work environment of professional driving. This study assessed the psychometric properties, convergent validity and consistency of two measures used for researching occupational stress among professional drivers: the Siegrist's ERI (Effort-Reward Imbalance Inventory) and Karasek's JCQ (Job Content Questionnaire). METHODS We examined the data collected from 726 Spanish professional drivers. Analyses were performed using Structural Equation Models, thus obtaining basic psychometric properties of both measures and an optimized structure for the instruments, in addition to testing their convergent validity. RESULTS The results suggest that the abbreviated versions of ERI (10 items) and JCQ (20 items) have clear dimensional structures, high factorial weights, internal consistency and an improved fit to the task's dynamics and hazards, commonly faced by of professional drivers; a short set of items with low psychometrical adjustment was excluded, and the root structure of the questionnaires was kept. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the value and reliability of ERI-10 and JCQ-20 for measuring job stress among professional drivers. Also, there is a high consistency between both measures of stress, even though they belong to different theoretical conceptions of the phenomenon. In practical settings, these instruments can be useful for occupational researchers and practitioners studying stress-related issues from the perspective of human factors.

Abstract
Our research has two main aims. It undertakes the validation of a six-item trait mindfulness scale called Mindful Presence Scale (MPS), which measures central aspects of mindfulness. For the first time in mindfulness literature, the construal level of scale items is also examined. Four questionnaire-based online studies were conducted. Study 1 drew three samples (n n = 391, n p = 215, and n b = 235) from the students at the University of Debrecen. It examined the factor structure, reliability, and internal consistency of the three differently worded scale versions. The positively worded scale version (MPSp) yielded a stable two-factor structure and demonstrated the best psychometric properties. Study 2 performed a confirmatory factor analysis on a sample drawn from public employees across the country (n cfa = 420). The two-factor solution in Study 1 was confirmed. χ2 tests were not significant, and fit indices were excellent. There was no significant difference between the high-level construal subscale (Fhlc) and the low-level construal subscale (Fllc) in terms of factorial stability. Participant of Study 3 were students who did not take part in Study 1. The sample (n inv = 250) was tested for measurement invariance across gender. The scaled results supported strong/threshold invariance. Study 4 tested concurrent validity with 10 concurrent instruments. A sample of secondary school teachers (n con = 128) was tested by examining Spearman's rank order correlations. There was a significant difference in how the Fhlc and Fllc subscales predicted scores of some of the concurrent instruments. Further research is warranted into how the construal level of mindfulness scale items affects the recollection of the mindful experience. Overall, MPSp proved to be a valid short mindfulness measure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous factors impact HIV care, often requiring consideration of indices to prevent collinearity when using statistical modeling. Using the Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations, we developed vulnerable and enabling indices for people living with HIV (PLWH). METHODS We used Ryan White Program (RWP) data and principal component analysis to develop general and gender- and racial/ethnic-specific indices. We assessed internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha), convergent validity (correlation coefficient), and predictive utility (logistic regression) with non-viral suppression. RESULTS Three general factors accounting for 79.2% of indicators' variability surfaced: mental health, drug use, and socioeconomic status (Cronbach's alpha 0.68). Among the overall RWP population, indices showed convergent validity and predictive utility. Using gender- or racial/ethnic-specific indices did not improve psychometric performance. DISCUSSION General mental health, drug use, and socioeconomic indices using administrative data showed acceptable reliability, validity, and utility for non-viral suppression in an overall PLWH population and in gender- and racial/ethnic-stratified populations. These general indices may be used with similar validity and utility across gender and racial/ethnic diverse populations.

Abstract
The International Index of Erectile Functioning (IIEF) has been widely used to measure gay men's erectile functioning. However, the IIEF was initially developed using a sample of men whose sexual orientation was unspecified. Using scales not validated for specific populations can result in inaccurate assessments. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the dimensionality, reliability, and validity of the IIEF with a large sample of gay men. One thousand and eighteen men self-identifying as "exclusively gay" completed an online survey consisting of demographics, the IIEF, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Perceived Stress Scale 4 (PSS4), and the Gay Male Sexual Difficulties (GMSD) erectile difficulties sub-scale. The replicability of the IIEF factor structure with a gay male sample was determined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Additionally, the HADS, PSS4, and GMSD were used to determine the validity of the IIEF. The current study was unable to replicate the IIEF factor structure. Four items required deletion and the factor solution differed from the original. Thus, reinterpretation of the latent variables was deemed necessary. Although the resultant 12-item IIEF evidenced model fit, validity, and reliability, it is not recommended for use with gay men. The revised IIEF is unable to accurately measure gay men's erectile functioning as the content of the items fail to capture their sexual behaviors (i.e., insertive and receptive anal sex).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To translate the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) and Person-Centered Dermatology Self-care Index (PeDeSI) from English to Arabic and validate their use among Arabic-speaking patients with psoriasis. METHODS Forward-backward translation was used to translate AIS and PeDeSI from English to Arabic language. Validation of the developed Arabic versions was performed using a cross-sectional study design. Arabic-speaking psoriatic patients were asked to complete the Arabic AIS and PeDeSI tools. Patients were also asked to complete the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), which was used as a reference to study external validity. The correlation between questionnaires was tested using Spearman rank correlation test. Factor analysis was used to study the dimensionality of the various tools. Cronbach α coefficient was used to evaluate internal consistency of Arabic versions of AIS and PeDeSI. Floor or ceiling effects were detected if more than 15% of patients achieved the lowest or the highest possible scores, respectively. RESULTS A total of 116 Arabic patients with psoriasis submitted the questionnaires. Both translated questionnaires were unidimensional. The internal consistencies of the AIS and PeDeSI were excellent (α coefficient = .90) and good (α coefficient = .87), respectively. There was a significant negative moderate correlation between the AIS and DLQI (ρ = -0.44), whereas the PeDeSI and DLQI were significantly weakly correlated (ρ = -0.23). No floor or ceiling effects were detected. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the Arabic versions of the AIS and PeDeSI questionnaires fulfilled the criteria for validation and may be used in research and routine clinical practice with Arabic speakers.

Abstract
Objective To assess the clinical benefit and compare the cost‐effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with different personality traits. Methods The present study was retrospectively conducted from January 2017 to May 2018. A total of 232 patients between 46 and 71 years old who underwent unilateral, primary TKA with the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis were interviewed. Three types of data were required to compare the cost‐effectiveness differences among groups: personality traits, postoperative clinical outcomes about health‐related quality of life, and costs associated with TKA. Personality was assessed using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, functional outcome was assessed through the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire, and costs were evaluated. Besides, the marginal cost‐effectiveness ratio (MCER) as the primary outcome, which relates the direct costs to the associated patient benefit as assessed by the clinical endpoint ($/quality‐adjusted life years [QALY]), was compared among different personality traits. All information for this study was acquired by directly interviewing the patients and reviewing the medical computer records at our hospital. Results Two hundred and eleven patients completed the final analysis with an average of 24.6 months follow‐up postoperatively. The choleric group, sanguine group, melancholic group, and phlegmatic group has 41, 70, 46, and 54 patients, respectively. A statistically significant difference in MECR, QALYs, and postoperative WOMAC existed among different personality traits (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in mean age (P = 0.588), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.790), smoking (P = 0.934), heavy drinking (P = 0.994), chronic comorbidities (all P > 0.05), preoperative albumin <3.5 g/dL (P = 0.991), and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) score (P = 0.687) among personality traits. More women tend to be melancholic in comparison to other personality traits (P = 0.016). Melancholic patients attested inferiority of TKA compared with other personality traits, who would pay for the same QALYs at the highest costs (P < 0.05). By contrast, sanguine patients have a more cost‐effective TKA than other personality traits, as they pay the least money for the same QALYs (P < 0.05). Although phlegmatic and choleric patients seemingly have moderate gains from TKA, in general, the extroversion (measured by the extroversion subscale) and stability (measured by the neuroticism subscale) displayed more pleasurable QALYs in comparison with introversion and instability (P < 0.05). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results mentioned above appeared not to be sensitive when varying key parameters (prosthesis survival and life expectancy) in a one‐way sensitivity analysis. Sanguine and melancholic patients still have the lowest and highest MCER in comparison with choleric and phlegmatic traits (P < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression showed that RA (adjusted OR = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.2–1.4, P < 0.01), ASA Class I–II (adjusted OR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.8–1.0, P < 0.001), sanguine (adjusted OR = 0.8, 95% CI = 0.7–0.9, P < 0.001) and melancholic (adjusted OR = 1.2, 95% CI = 1.1–1.3, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with MCER. Conclusions Before surgery, screening the melancholic patients would significantly reduce the economic burden, avoid unnecessary suffering, and shorten the recovery period.

A Pictorial Dot Probe Task to Assess Food-Related Attentional Bias in Youth With and Without Obesity: Overview of Indices and Evaluation of Their Reliability. Front Psychol 2021; 12:644512.

Abstract
Several versions of the dot probe detection task are frequently used to assess maladaptive attentional processes associated with a broad range of psychopathology and health behavior, including eating behavior and weight. However, there are serious concerns about the reliability of the indices derived from the paradigm as measurement of attentional bias toward or away from salient stimuli. The present paper gives an overview of different attentional bias indices used in psychopathology research and scrutinizes three types of indices (the traditional attentional bias score, the dynamic trial-level base scores, and the probability index) calculated from a pictorial version of the dot probe task to assess food-related attentional biases in children and youngsters with and without obesity. Correlational analyses reveal that dynamic scores (but not the traditional and probability indices) are dependent on general response speed. Reliability estimates are low for the traditional and probability indices. The higher reliability for the dynamic indices is at least partially explained by general response speed. No significant group differences between youth with and without obesity are found, and correlations with weight are also non-significant. Taken together, results cast doubt on the applicability of this specific task for both experimental and individual differences research on food-related attentional biases in youth. However, researchers are encouraged to make and test adaptations to the procedure or computational algorithm in an effort to increase psychometric quality of the task and to report psychometric characteristics of their version of the task for their specific sample.

Abstract
METHOD Two hundred Hispanic emerging adults from Arizona (n = 99) and Florida (n = 101) completed a cross-sectional survey, and data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression and moderation analyses. RESULTS Higher social media discrimination was associated with higher symptoms of depression and generalized anxiety. Moderation analyses indicated that higher social media discrimination was only associated with symptoms of depression and generalized anxiety among men, but not women. CONCLUSION This is likely the first study on social media discrimination and mental health among emerging adults; thus, expanding this emerging field of research to a distinct developmental period.

Useche SA, Hezaveh AM, Llamazares FJ, Cherry C. Not gendered… but different from each other? A structural equation model for explaining risky road behaviors of female and male pedestrians. ACCIDENT; ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION 2021; 150:105942. [PMID: 33338915 DOI: 10.1016/j.aap.2020.105942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Revised: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 12/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED As alternative transportation is getting more and more fashionable, and more people worldwide are "shifting" to walking trips, even for their daily commuting, traffic crashes suffered by pedestrians are still a great concern for road safety and public health researchers and practitioners. In this regard, risky or "aberrant" road behaviors have emerged, during the last few years, as a key issue to be considered for crash prevention. Nevertheless, the idea of a "generic pedestrian" is getting re-evaluated, and analyzing key features, such as gender, seems to be crucial for understanding pedestrians' performance and safety outcomes. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the effect of gender on pedestrians' both deliberate (traffic violations) and undeliberate (errors) risky walking behaviors, considering a set of theoretically based demographic and psychosocial variables as their potential predictors. METHOD For this cross-sectional study, data from 1070 Spanish pedestrians (60 % females and 40 % males, aged between 16 and 79) from the 17 regions of Spain, responding to an electronic questionnaire, were analyzed through a multi-group structural equation modeling (MGSEM) approach. RESULTS Although age, handheld device-interaction, and sensation-seeking seem to have a similar effect on the errors and violations reported by both genders (similarities), factors such as risk perception, educational level and the misbehaviors observed in other road users are significant predictors only in the case of male pedestrians. On the other hand, road distractions have been shown to play a significant role in females' errors and violations, while males' road distractions seem to only affect their involuntary risky behaviors. CONCLUSION The findings of this study support the influence of gender in the statistical explanation of both deliberate and undeliberate walking risky road behaviors, also depicting the differential role of certain demographic and psychosocial factors when we compare male and female pedestrians.

Useche SA, Esteban C, Alonso F, Montoro L. Are Latin American cycling commuters "at risk"? A comparative study on cycling patterns, behaviors, and crashes with non-commuter cyclists. ACCIDENT; ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION 2021; 150:105915. [PMID: 33276186 DOI: 10.1016/j.aap.2020.105915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2019] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION As part of the transformation of urban transportation dynamics, commuter cycling has acquired a high relevance as an alternative mode of transport in different countries, and Latin America seems to be one of the main focus of this worldwide "revolution". However, the high rates of crashes and injuries suffered by commuters have become a relevant issue in the field of road safety, especially in emerging regions with low cycling tradition, where social and infrastructural gaps may endanger the cyclists' safety. OBJECTIVES This study had two objectives. First, to compare key safe cycling-related variables between cycling commuters and non-commuters; and second, to differentially asses the effect of individual and cycling-related variables on their self-reported crash rates. METHOD For this cross-sectional research, the data provided by 577 Latin American urban cyclists from three countries (Argentina, Colombia and Mexico) with a mean age of 32.7 years was used. They answered a questionnaire on cycling habits, risk perception, rule knowledge, cycling behaviors and riding crashes. RESULTS The outcomes of this study showed that, despite having a higher risk perception, cycling commuters perform deliberate risky cycling behaviors (traffic violations) more frequently, and they suffer more crashes; cycling commuters report higher rates of psychological distress, and a lower degree of rule knowledge and protective behaviors than non-commuters. Furthermore, structural similarities and differences in the explanation of cycling crashes were found across commuters and non-commuters. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that non-commuters, whose purposes for cycling are more aimed at leisure and occasional trips, perform less risky behaviors but suffer more cycling distractions, whereas commuters are comparatively more exposed to behavioral-based safety risks, and suffer more frequent crashes. Since recent evidence forecasts that urban cycling will keep growing in Latin American cities, it is necessary to implement policies and educational/training improvements that may enhance the safety and health of cyclists in these countries.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine a serial-multiple mediation of physical activity (PA) enjoyment and PA intention in the relationship between creativity and PA level (i.e., moderate-to-vigorous PA). A total of 298 undergraduate and graduate students completed a self-reported questionnaire evaluating creativity, PA enjoyment, PA intention, and PA level. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, ordinary least-squares regression analysis, and bootstrap methodology. Based on the research findings, both PA enjoyment (β = 0.06; 95% CI [0.003, 0.12]) and PA intention (β = 0.08; 95% CI [0.03, 0.13]) were found to be a mediator of the relationship between creativity and PA level, respectively. Moreover, the serial-multiple mediation of PA enjoyment and PA intention in the relationship between creativity and PA level was statistically significant (β = 0.02; 95% CI [0.01, 0.04]). These findings underscore the importance of shaping both cognitive and affective functions for PA promotion and provide additional support for a neurocognitive affect-related model in the PA domain. In order to guide best practices for PA promotion programs aimed at positively influencing cognition and affect, future PA interventions should develop evidence-based strategies that routinely evaluate cognitive as well as affective responses to PA.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with depression are in high need of optimal pharmaceutical care as they have poor quality of life and functioning. However, little is known about the delivery of pharmaceutical care to patients with depression in Egypt. This study aimed to detect pharmacists' stigma of patients with depression, assess attitudes toward providing depression care, evaluate pharmacists' confidence with depression medication consultation, and identify barriers in providing pharmaceutical care to patients with depression. Methods A cross-sectional survey was posted on the social media websites of Egyptian pharmacists' groups and associations. The survey collected pharmacists' demographic information, then measured their confidence in medication consultation through the Pharmacists' Confidence scale about Medication Consultation for Depressive Patients (PCMCD), with items to assess stigma of patients with depression and attitudes toward providing care to patients with depression compared with other physical conditions. The pharmacists were also asked about the barriers to providing pharmaceutical care to patients with depression. Results Totally, 86 pharmacists completed the survey: 56 (65.1%) were aged 30 years or older, and 64 (74.6%) had more than five years of experience. The stigma of patients with depression was generally low. The mean (SD) PCMCD score was 51.4 (6.6), reflecting that most pharmacists were confident about medication consultation for patients with depression. Attitudes toward providing pharmaceutical care to patients with depression were generally positive but significantly lower than those reported for patients with other conditions. Lack of education on mental health was the most commonly reported barrier (81.2%) to providing pharmaceutical care to patients with depression. Conclusion Participants were confident about medication consultation with a positive attitude toward providing pharmaceutical care. Frequent mental health educational courses, tools, and other methods of consistent engagement that enhance practice, behaviors, and outcomes should be considered for Egyptian pharmacists to improve pharmaceutical care provided to patients with depression.

Abstract
Background: Curiosity is a personality characteristic, which fits with wellbeing and positive functioning. The objective of this study was to assess the construct validity of the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory II (CEI-II) in Indonesia. Design and Methods: The study included 256 undergraduate students who lived in Indonesia, mean age 19.8 years old. The CEI-II measures stretching and embracing using 11 items. The English version of CEI-II was translated into Bahasa. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were addressed to examine internal consistency reliability and the test-retest reliability. To evaluate construct validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to assess factor structure and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the structural model fit of the CEI-II Indonesia version. Results: The study showed Cronbach's alpha for the internal consistency of the overall CEI-II Indonesia version was 0.77. The ICC for the test-retest reliability ranged between 0.753-0.829. EFA showed adequate with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of 0.86 and the Bartlett's test of sphericity was statistically significant. CFA tested the second-order model with two-order factors and showed a model fit. Conclusions: The CEI-II Indonesia version indicated acceptable construct validity to evaluate curiosity in Indonesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of EuroQOL-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) in Singapore. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted involving patients with axial SpA in an Asian tertiary hospital from 2017 to 2018. This study followed the COnsensus-based Standards for selection of health Measurement Instruments framework. Construct validity was evaluated by testing 22 a priori hypotheses with other patient-reported outcomes measures. Cronbach's alpha was used to estimate the internal consistency of the EQ-5D-5L, while its test-retest reliability was assessed using weighted kappa and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The measurement error was assessed by analyzing minimal detectable change (MDC). RESULTS The median age of included patients (n=118) was 35 years (interquartile range: 28, 49). Ninety-six (81.4%) patients were male, while 112 (94.9%) patients were of Chinese ethnicity. The EQ-5D-5L demonstrated good internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.79. The test-retest reliability of the EQ-5D-5L was good with a weighted kappa of ≥0.61 for mobility, self-care, usual activities, and anxiety/depression; the ICC was 0.92 and 0.99 for the EQ-5D-5L index and visual analog scale (VAS) scores, respectively. The weighted kappa for the EQ-5D-5L pain/discomfort was moderate [0.53, 95% confidence interval: 0.41-0.60]. The MDC for EQ-5D-5L index and VAS scores was 0.06 and 4.5, respectively. Convergent validity was supported as all hypotheses were confirmed in the results. CONCLUSION This study supports EQ-5D-5L as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing health-related quality of life among patients with axial SpA in Singapore.

Abstract
AIM The study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Indonesian version. BACKGROUND The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index has never been translated into Bahasa. DESIGN This study employs a cross-sectional and correlational study. METHODS Data were collected from 528 adolescents of junior high school age (13-16 years) during August to September 2014. All participants agreed on the Indonesian version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Beck Depression Inventory-II. Psychometric properties were examined including internal consistency, construct validity and known group validity, and the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to measure the cut-off point. RESULTS The Cronbach's alpha for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Indonesian version was adequate. There were positive correlations between the total score and seven component scores. Construct validity revealed that the total score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Indonesian version was correlated with the total score of the Indonesian version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Known group validity indicated that adolescents without depression risk had better sleep quality. According to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the cut-off point at a score of 6.5 indicated the best possible relationship of sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Indonesian version has high reliability and validity for screening sleep quality among adolescents.

Abstract
Background: Sleep is associated with some behavioral factors such as maladaptive, which tend to disrupt its normal mechanism, therefore, a tool is needed to measure maladaptive sleep hygiene. This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of sleep hygiene index (SHI), translation, factor structure, validity, and reliability. Design and Methods: Data were collected from 101 Indonesia adolescents in junior high school, with SHI-Indonesia translated based on WHO guideline. The obtained data were analyzed using varimax rotation, while the convergent validity was evaluated by calculating the correlation between the item and total score. In addition, the Cronbach's alpha was computed to investigate internal consistency, and two-week interval test-retest was conducted to assess reliability. Results: SHI is a unidimensional factor structure with an excellent test-retest reliability of P<0.001 at 0.618, and a positive convergent validity correlation between each item and the total score. Conclusions: The SHI Bahasa translation is a reliable and valid tool to assess maladaptive sleep hygiene among Indonesia Adolescents.

Abstract
The goal of personnel selection is to find predictors that, together, maximize the explained variance in important job outcomes such as Task Performance or Work Engagement. Common predictors include Intelligence and Big Five Personality. Using Person-Organization Fit (P-O Fit) for selection purposes has been discussed, but, beyond Intelligence and Personality, evidence of the incremental predictive validity of P-O Fit in relation to task performance and work engagement is scarce. This study examines the practical utility of indirectly measured P-O Fit as a selection tool in a military setting. Measures of objective P-O Fit were obtained from actual applicants in a military selection setting and combined with self-report measures of Work Engagement upon organizational entry, and supervisor-rated Task Performance approximately two weeks later. P-O Fit predicted both Task Performance (R 2 = .041) and Work Engagement (R 2 = .038). More importantly, P-O Fit yielded incremental predictive validity in relation to both outcomes, also after controlling for intelligence and personality traits. While our initial models (including age, gender, intelligence, and personality) explained 25.1% and 5.8% of the variance in work engagement and task performance, respectively, this increased to 26.3% and 6.3%, respectively, after the inclusion of P-O Fit. Implications for practical use in selection systems are discussed.

Abstract
Background: National surveys show that primary care physicians feel responsible for addressing the opioid epidemic. They feel their training in managing chronic pain and addiction was insufficient, and commonly endorse the need for more residency training in these areas. However, residency training in these areas remains low, with a lack of faculty expertise and time as the most commonly cited barriers for improvement. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of an educational program for chronic pain management and addiction that does not rely on faculty expertise or additional time, and assess resident opioid-prescribing practices and confidence in managing chronic pain after its implementation. Methods: A 16-week educational curriculum was incorporated into existing residency didactics. Internal medicine residents attended six educational sessions in 2016 over a 16-week period and implemented a protocol based on CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain. Surveys were completed pre- and post-intervention. Results: Implementation of this educational intervention was feasible. Surveys showed improvement in resident confidence in detecting and managing addiction and improved prescribing practices and adherence to CDC recommendations. Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrates that increasing residency education in managing chronic pain and opioid use disorder is feasible, and no longer needs to be postponed due to lack of time or faculty expertise.

Abstract
Introduction Psychosocial work environment has been related to many negative health outcomes in different workforces. However, evidence in this regard is still limited in the case of transport workers, and most of the tools used in research, often excessively generic, do not fully consider the specific key stressors, and adverse issues present in the psychosocial environment of professional driving. Objective Thus, the purpose of this study was to obtain a complete description of the validation of measurement applied to psychosocial factors at work in professional drivers, using the Enterprise version (2018) of COPSOQ-III. Methods The data was collected from 726 Spanish professional drivers, and the analyses were conducted using the competitive Confirmatory Factor Analysis or CFA, obtaining basic psychometric properties and an optimized structure for the instrument applied to active transport workers. Results The results suggest a clear factorial structure, high factorial weights, internal consistency, and an improved adjustment to the psychosocial conditions of this group, excluding a set of items with low psychometrical adjustment and keeping the five-factor structure of the questionnaire: demands, influence and development, interpersonal relationships and leadership, job insecurity, and strain-effects and outcomes. Conclusion Overall, what was found in this study supports the hypothesis that the validated version of COPSOQ in professional drivers, together with complementary information sources specific for their work environment, may have a relevant research value and some important practical implications for the improvement of the occupational safety, and health within the typically vulnerable industry of transportation.

[PMID: 31245926 DOI: 10.1111/1756-185x.13640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2018] [Revised: 04/17/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the validity and reliability of the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society Health Index (ASAS HI) among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in Singapore. METHODS We collected data from English-speaking patients with axSpA seen at a dedicated axSpA clinic in a Singapore tertiary referral hospital from 2017 to 2018. Face validity of the English version of ASAS HI was assessed through cognitive debriefing interviews (CDIs). Structural validity was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis. Convergent construct validity was assessed with 12 a priori hypotheses about the magnitude and direction of correlations between the ASAS HI summary score and other patient-reported outcome measures. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Measurement error was assessed by analyzing smallest detectable change (SDC). RESULTS Ten patients (age range 22-46 years, 50% male) participated in CDIs and face validity was supported. Among 108 patients (median age: 37 [21-77], 80.6% males), unidimensionality was confirmed (comparative fit index = 0.960, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.952, root mean square error of approximation = 0.038, standardized root mean residuals = 0.068, model Chi-square test P = 0.1251) in the 17-item ASAS HI. The ASAS HI showed good internal consistency of 0.83 and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.95; 95% CI 0.91-0.98) when baseline was compared with week 2. SDC was 1.02. Convergent validity was supported as hypotheses were confirmed in 100% of the results. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the ASAS HI as a valid and reliable measure of health status for use in patients with axSpA in Singapore.

Abstract
Multiplatform digital media use and gaming have been increased in recent years. The aim of this study was to examine associations between sociodemographics and digital gaming behavior characteristics (i.e., gaming time, medium, and genres) with problematic gaming behavior in adolescents. A convenience sample of Finnish junior high school students (n = 560; mean age 14 years, ranging from 12 to 16 years) participated in the cross-sectional survey, of which, 83% (n = 465) reported having played digital games regularly. Sociodemographic data, different forms of digital media use, gaming behavior characteristics and problematic gaming behavior was assessed. Study participants spent on average one hour per day playing digital games; casual games (23.9%), shooting games (19.8%), and sport games (12.9%), were the most popular games among participants. By using regression analysis, a blended family structure and gaming time related positively to problematic gaming behavior. Preferences for game genres such as solo, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing and strategy-management games were also positively associated with problematic use of digital games. These findings provide knowledge that can be utilized in the prevention of the possible negative consequences of digital gaming.

Abstract
Individualized coefficient alpha is defined. It is item and subject specific and is used to measure the quality of test score data with heterogenicity among the subjects and items. A regression model is developed based on 3 sets of generalized estimating equations. The first set of generalized estimating equation models the expectation of the responses, the second set models the response's variance, and the third set is proposed to estimate the individualized coefficient alpha, defined and used to measure individualized internal consistency of the responses. We also use different techniques to extend our method to handle missing data. Asymptotic property of the estimators is discussed, based on which inference on the coefficient alpha is derived. Performance of our method is evaluated through simulation study and real data analysis. The real data application is from a health literacy study in Hunan province of China.

Abstract
Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are most commonly defined as behaviors that are used while drinking to reduce alcohol use and/or limit alcohol-related problems. Few studies have examined and quantified PBS use among non-college student populations. The purpose of the present two studies was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale-20 (PBSS-20; Treloar, Martens, & McCarthy, 2015) among internet samples of adult drinkers. In the first study, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis of the PBSS-20 with a sample (n = 360) of adult drinkers who were recruited from Mechanical Turk. We then conducted a second study that recruited adult drinkers from Mechanical Turk and randomly split the data in half. With the first split-half sample (n = 339), we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the PBSS-20 and assessed the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the subscales. With the second split-half sample (n = 338), we tested measurement invariance across gender. The results support a three-factor structure of the PBSS-20 that is similar to what has been found among college students. However, six items were dropped and two Serious Harm Reduction items loaded best onto the Manner of Drinking factor. Furthermore, two subscales demonstrated adequate internal consistency and all three subscale were negatively associated with alcohol-related outcomes. Similar to college students, there was lack of measurement invariance across gender. We discuss the implications of the present findings in extending research on PBS to the more general population of U.S. adult drinkers.

Abstract
Background Addiction, or substance dependence, is nowadays considered a chronic relapsing condition. However, perceptions of addiction vary widely, also among healthcare professionals. Perceptions of addiction are thought to contribute to attitude and stigma towards patients with addiction. However, studies into perceptions of addiction among healthcare professionals are limited and instruments for reliable assessment of their perceptions are lacking. The Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) is widely used to evaluate perceptions of illness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the IPQ: factor structure, internal consistency, and discriminant validity, when applied to evaluate healthcare professionals’ perceptions of addiction. Methods Participants were 1072 healthcare professionals in training and master students from the Netherlands and Indonesia, recruited from various addiction-training programs. The revised version of the IPQ was adapted to measure perceptions of addiction (IPQ-A). Maximum likelihood method was used to explore the best-fit IPQ factor structure. Internal consistency was evaluated for the final factors. The final factor structure was used to assess discriminant validity of the IPQ, by comparing illness perceptions of addiction between 1) medical students from the Netherlands and Indonesia, 2) medical students psychology students and educational science students from the Netherlands, and 3) participants with different training levels: medical students versus medical doctors. Results Factor analysis revealed an eight-factor structure for the perception subscale (demoralization, timeline chronic, consequences, personal control, treatment control, illness coherence, timeline cyclical emotional representations) and a four-factor structure for the attribution subscale (psychological attributions, risk factors, smoking/alcohol, overwork). Internal reliability was acceptable to good. The IPQ-A was able to detect differences in perceptions between healthcare professionals from different cultural and educational background and level of training. Conclusions The IPQ-A is a valid and reliable instrument to assess healthcare professionals’ perceptions of addiction.

Validity and reliability of the Short Form 36 Health Surveys (SF-36) among patients with spondyloarthritis in Singapore. Rheumatol Int 2016; 36:1759-1765.

Abstract
The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a popular health-related quality of life (HrQoL) tool. However, few studies have assessed its psychometric properties in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). We therefore aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the SF-36 in patients with SpA in Singapore. Cross-sectional data from a registry of 196 SpA patients recruited from a dedicated tertiary referral clinic in Singapore from 2011 to 2014 was used. Analyses were guided by the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments framework. Internal consistency reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Construct validity was assessed through 33 a priori hypotheses by correlations of the eight subscales and two summary scores of SF-36 with other health outcomes. Known-group construct validity was assessed by comparison of the means of the subscales and summary scores of the SF-36 of SpA patients and the general population of Singapore using student's t tests. Among 196 patients (155 males (79.0 %), median (range) age: 36 (17-70), 166 Chinese (84.6 %)), SF-36 scales showed high internal consistency ranging from 0.88 to 0.90. Convergent construct validity was supported as shown by fulfillment of all hypotheses. Divergent construct validity was supported, as SF-36 MCS was not associated with PGA, pain and HAQ. Known-group construct validity showed SpA patients had lower scores of 3.8-12.5 when compared to the general population at p < 0.001. This study supports the SF-36 as a valid and reliable measure of HrQoL for use in patients with SpA at a single time point.
