Abstract

Purpose: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and postpandemic era have significantly impacted the physical, mental, and social health (global health) of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Extensive evidence highlights the positive relationships among global health, employment, and subjective well-being. For rehabilitation psychologists and health professionals serving individuals with MS, it is crucial to incorporate a global health measure into their assessment toolkit. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health (PROMIS^©GH) Scale is widely used and validated for diverse patient populations worldwide. However, there is no study that validates the PROMIS^©GH for people with MS.

Research method: We conducted an exploratory factor analysis with a sample of U.S. adults with MS (N = 495) to examine the measurement structure of the PROMIS^©GH.

Results: Exploratory factor analysis results indicated a two-factor measurement structure (physical health and mental-social health) that accounted for 67.80% of the total variance. All items loaded highly onto their respective factors (ranging from 0.59 to 0.93). The Cronbach's α of the two subscales was .85 and .86, which is high for very brief measures. The two factors were significantly and positively associated with employment, subjective well-being, resilience, core self-evaluations, and social support, and negatively associated with stress and depression in the theoretically expected directions, supporting its construct validity.

Conclusions: The findings of this study indicated that PROMIS^©GH is a psychometrically sound global health measure for people with MS and should be included as a health assessment tool for rehabilitation psychologists and health professionals who provide services to people with MS.

针对多发性硬化症患者的患者报告结果测量信息系统全球健康量表的心理测量验证。

目的：2019 年冠状病毒疾病大流行和大流行后对多发性硬化症（MS）患者的身体、精神和社会健康（全球健康）产生了重大影响。大量证据强调了全球健康、就业和主观幸福感之间的积极关系。对于为多发性硬化症患者提供服务的康复心理学家和卫生专业人员来说，将全球健康测量纳入其评估工具包至关重要。患者报告结果测量信息系统全球健康（PROMIS©GH）量表在全球不同患者群体中得到了广泛应用和验证。然而，目前还没有研究对多发性硬化症患者的 PROMIS©GH 进行验证：研究方法：我们对美国成年多发性硬化症患者样本（N = 495）进行了探索性因子分析，以研究 PROMIS©GH 的测量结构：探索性因子分析结果表明，双因子测量结构（身体健康和心理社会健康）占总方差的 67.80%。所有项目在各自因子上的负荷量都很高（从 0.59 到 0.93 不等）。两个分量表的 Cronbach's α 分别为 0.85 和 0.86，这对于非常简短的测量来说是很高的。这两个因子与就业、主观幸福感、复原力、核心自我评价和社会支持呈显著正相关，与压力和抑郁呈负相关，符合理论预期的方向，支持其建构效度：本研究的结果表明，PROMIS©GH 是一种针对多发性硬化症患者的心理测量方法，应作为康复心理学家和为多发性硬化症患者提供服务的卫生专业人员的健康评估工具。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
