| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To evaluate the reliability and validity of TCMPRO-COPD,which is a self-reported scales of patients with COPD,having traditional Chinese medicines features.[Methods] The reliability of TCMPRO-COPD by test-retest reliability,split-half reliability and homogeneity reliability was evaluated.The validity of TCMPRO-COPD by content validity,discrimination validity,and factor analysis was also evaluated.[Results] TCMPRO-COPD is composed of 27 items,including disease characters domain,Zheng Hou characters domain,seven modes of emotions of TCM domain,limitation of activity domain and social activities domain.By analyzing the materials from 250 cases,we got the results as below: the average time of completing the scale is 8.85 min,test-retest reliability and split-half reliability of TCMPRO-COPD are good,and the whole scale Cronbach’α is 0.899,which shows that the scale has good homogeneity reliability.At the same time,the scale shows its great content validity,structure validity and discrimination validity between COPD patients and healthy volunteers.[Conclusion] TCMPRO-COPD has wonderful reliability and validity.It can be used in evaluating COPD of TCM.It is found,however,that the domains structure of this scales has some inadequacy from factor analysis,and we believe that the scale should be studied and readjusted in the future. |
