Abstract

Objective: To enable measurement of coping in the general Danish population the aims of this study are to 1) describe the translation and cultural adaption of the Danish Brief Approach/Avoidance Coping Questionnaire (BACQ) and 2) investigate the psychometric properties of the Danish BACQ.

Design: The BACQ was translated and adapted into Danish, and the psychometric properties tested in two samples of adult Danish citizens: Sample A = 167, used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and Sample B = 330 persons, used for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency was evaluated by Cronbach's Alpha, item-to-rest correlation, and scale-to-scale Pearson correlation.

Results: The EFA suggested reasonable fits for both a three-factor and four-factor model, confirmed by the CFA with acceptable goodness-of-fit indices for both models. Using the four-factor-model would require a re-evaluation of the scale. The three-factor model had admissible internal consistency with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.66. Individuals with low self-rated health, extreme concern about current health and poor physical fitness, respectively, had lower Approach and higher Diversion and Resignation scores.

Conclusion: The psychometric properties showed that the Danish BACQ could be used as a three-factor model. With some limitations, the Danish version had acceptable construct validity, internal consistency, and content validity.

丹麦普通人群的应对：丹麦版简略方法/回避应对问卷的心理测量特征。

目的：为了测量普通丹麦人的应对能力，本研究的目的是：1)描述丹麦简短方法/回避应对问卷（BACQ）的翻译和文化适应；2)调查丹麦简短方法/回避应对问卷的心理测量特性。设计：将BACQ翻译成丹麦语，并在两个成年丹麦公民样本中测试心理测量特性：样本A = 167人，用于探索性因素分析（EFA），样本B = 330人，用于验证性因素分析（CFA）。内部一致性通过Cronbach's Alpha、项目-休息相关和量表-量表Pearson相关来评估。结果：EFA显示三因素和四因素模型的拟合都是合理的，CFA证实了这两个模型的拟合优度指标都是可接受的。使用四因素模型需要对量表进行重新评估。三因素模型具有允许的内部一致性，总体Cronbach's alpha为0.66。自我评价健康水平较低、极度关注当前健康状况和身体素质较差的个体，其Approach得分较低，而Diversion和辞呈得分较高。结论：丹麦人的心理测量特征表明，丹麦人的BACQ可以作为一个三因素模型。尽管有一定的局限性，丹麦版本具有可接受的构念效度、内部一致性和内容效度。
