Abstract
Objectives
To develop and evaluate the epilepsy scale among the System of Quality of Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases QLICD-EP(V2.0).
Methods
The QLICD-EP(V2.0) was developed based on a modular approach and programmed decision procedures with multiple nominal and focus group discussions. The data measuring quality of life (QOL) three times before and after treatment of patients with epilepsy (PWE) was used to evaluate the psychometric properties of the scale, including reliability, validity, and responsiveness.
Results
The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the total scale was 0.902. The test–retest reliability of the total scale was 0.913, and the ICC(95 %CI) of the total scale was 0.953(0.928,0.969). Correlation and confirmatory factor analyses by the structural equation model confirmed good construct validity. Correlation analysis showed good criterion-related validity when using the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) as a criterion. The paired t-test results showed that the special mentality facet was statistically significant (P < 0.05) before and after the treatment with standard response mean (SRM) being 0.31, there was no statistical significance in other domains and facets with SRM being less than 0.50, which was a low effect.
Conclusion
QLICD-EP (V2.0) can be used to clinically assess the QOL of PWE in China. Providing a scientific basis for precision medicine and contributing to global health.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy.
Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.
From September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.
