Abstract

Purpose. The Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (MANSA; Priebe et al., 1999) is one of the most widely used QoL-measures in psychiatry. We aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the MANSA in a broad sample of people with severe mental illnesses (SMI). Method. QoL-data from three studies were available (total n = 806). Internal consistency and construct validity were assessed. Furthermore, it was investigated whether the 12 subjective MANSA-items were capable of discriminating between specific psychiatric disorders. Results. Cronbach’s alpha ranges from 0.78 to 0.85; overall convergent and divergent validity of the MANSA is good. For people with SMI, their financial situation, mental health and life as whole are the most important QoL-domains. Conclusions. The psychometric properties of the MANSA are good and the instrument can be used to discriminate between important QoL domains within people with SMI.

衡量重症精神病患者的生活质量：在三种不同人群中对荷兰版曼彻斯特生活质量简短评估（MANSA）的评估以及对创新机会的展望衡量生活质量

目的曼彻斯特生活质量简短评估（MANSA；Priebe 等人，1999 年）是精神病学中使用最广泛的生活质量测量方法之一。我们旨在对荷兰版 MANSA 的心理测量特性进行调查，调查对象为重症精神病患者（SMI）。研究方法。我们获得了三项研究的 QoL 数据（总人数 = 806）。对其内部一致性和构建有效性进行了评估。此外，还调查了 MANSA 的 12 个主观项目是否能够区分特定的精神疾病。结果显示Cronbach'sα值在0.78至0.85之间；MANSA的整体收敛性和发散性良好。对于 SMI 患者来说，他们的财务状况、心理健康和整体生活是最重要的 QoL 领域。结论MANSA 的心理测量特性良好，可用于区分 SMI 患者的重要 QoL 领域。
