Abstract

Positive thinking is a form of positive cognition and a coping strategy. The Positive Thinking Scale (PTS) is used to measure positive thinking, but the reliability and validity of the PTS-Chinese have yet to be tested. This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the PTS-Chinese. A total of 154 patients post-hip fracture surgery completed the questionnaire in a hospital in Taiwan between April 2020 and December 2020. The scales in the questionnaire included the PTS, Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire-Positive, Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire-Negative, Barthel Index, and items related to happiness, demographics, and disease treatment. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis and average variance extracted show that the PTS-Chinese version exhibits construct validity. Scores on the PTS-Chinese version are positively related to scores on the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire-Positive and happiness items and negatively related to scores on the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire-Negative. This finding indicates that the PTS-Chinese demonstrates concurrent, predictive, and discriminant validity. The scale also presents acceptable reliability and test-retest reliability. Overall, the PTS-Chinese can be used to evaluate and track the positive thinking of patients. Further studies are needed to assess the psychometric properties of the PTS-Chinese in different cultures and ethnic groups.

中文版积极思考量表在髋部骨折术后个体的心理测量特征。

积极思考是积极认知的一种形式，是一种应对策略。积极思维量表(PTS)用于衡量积极思维，但PTS- chinese的信度和效度尚未得到检验。本研究旨在探讨PTS-Chinese的心理测量特征。2020年4月至2020年12月，台湾某医院共有154例髋部骨折术后患者完成了问卷调查。问卷的量表包括PTS、积极自动思维问卷、消极自动思维问卷、Barthel指数以及与幸福感、人口统计学和疾病治疗相关的项目。验证性因子分析和平均方差提取结果表明，pts -中文版具有建构效度。pts -中文版的得分与自动思维问卷-积极和快乐条目的得分呈正相关，与自动思维问卷-消极条目的得分呈负相关。这一发现表明PTS-Chinese具有并发效度、预测效度和判别效度。量表具有可接受的信度和重测信度。总的来说，PTS-Chinese可以用来评估和跟踪患者的积极思维。不同文化和民族背景下PTS-Chinese的心理测量特征有待进一步研究。
