Abstract

Objective: The Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS) is a five-item, single-dimension questionnaire that is used to measure a patient's alcohol craving. We sought to develop the Chinese version of the PACS (PACS-C) and assess its reliability and validity.

Methods: A total of 160 Taiwanese patients with alcohol use disorder were enrolled in this study. The internal consistency and concurrent validity of the PASC-C with the visual analogue scale (VAS) for craving, the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for heavy drinking (YBOCS-hd), and the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ) were assessed. The test-retest reliability of the PASC-C was evaluated 1 day after the baseline measurements. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to examine the psychometric properties of the PACS-C.

Results: The PACS-C exhibited good internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.95) and test-retest reliability (r=0.97). This scale showed high correlations with the VAS (r=0.81) and YBOCS-hd (r=0.81 and 0.79 for the obsession and compulsion subscales, respectively), and moderate correlation with the SADQ-C (r=0.47). Furthermore, CFA results revealed that the PACS-C had good fit indices under various models.

Conclusion: The PACS-C appears to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing alcohol craving in patients with alcohol use disorder in Taiwan.

针对酒精使用障碍患者的宾恩酒精渴求量表中文版的验证。

目的：宾大酒精渴求量表（PACS宾州酒精渴求量表（PACS）是一种五项单维度问卷，用于测量患者的酒精渴求程度。我们试图开发 PACS 的中文版（PACS-C），并评估其信度和效度：方法：本研究共招募了 160 名台湾酒精使用障碍患者。评估了 PASC-C 与渴求视觉模拟量表（VAS）、耶鲁-布朗重度饮酒强迫量表（YBOCS-hd）和酒精依赖严重程度问卷（SADQ）的内部一致性和并发效度。在基线测量结束一天后，对 PASC-C 的重测可靠性进行了评估。对PACS-C进行了确认性因子分析（CFA），以检验其心理测量特性：结果：PACS-C表现出良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's α=0.95）和测试-再测可靠性（r=0.97）。该量表与 VAS（r=0.81）和 YBOCS-hd（强迫分量表和痴迷分量表的相关性分别为 0.81 和 0.79）呈高度相关，与 SADQ-C 呈中度相关（r=0.47）。此外，CFA结果显示，PACS-C在各种模型下都具有良好的拟合指数：结论：PACS-C似乎是评估台湾酒精使用障碍患者酒精渴求的一种可靠有效的工具。
