摘要
目的：研究意大利语版儿童进食障碍检查（ChEDE）访谈和儿童进食障碍检查问卷（ChEDE-Q）的心理测量特征：方法：首先翻译 ChEDE（摘自 EDE 第 17 版）和 ChEDE-Q，然后对 147 名 18 岁以下进食障碍患者和 80 名年龄匹配的对照者进行测试。对它们的内部一致性（Cronbach alpha）、评分者之间的可靠性（Spearman rho）、短期（7-23 天）重测可靠性（Spearman rho）和标准效度（用 Mann-Whitney U 表示的组间差异）进行了评估：结果：饮食失调症患者的 ChEDE/ChEDE-Q得分明显高于年龄匹配的对照组，这表明该工具具有充分的标准效度（所有分量表和总分在 p 结论时均有显著性）：意大利语版的 ChEDE 访谈和 ChEDE-Q 具有良好的心理测量学特性，因此建议在临床实践和研究环境中用于评估 18 岁以下的意大利进食障碍患者。证据等级III，证据来自队列或病例对照分析研究。
Child eating disorder examination (ChEDE) interview and child eating disorder examination questionnaire (ChEDE-Q): psychometric properties of the Italian versions.
Purpose: To examine the psychometric characteristics of the Italian language versions of the child eating disorder examination (ChEDE) interview and child eating disorder examination questionnaire (ChEDE-Q).
Methods: ChEDE (from EDE 17th edition) and ChEDE-Q were first translated, and then administered to 147 patients with eating disorders under the age of 18, along with 80 age-matched controls. Their internal consistency (Cronbach alpha), inter-rater reliability (Spearman rho), short-term (7-23 days) test-retest reliability (Spearman rho), and criterion validity (group differences by Mann-Whitney U) were evaluated.
Results: Patients with eating disorders displayed significantly higher ChEDE/ChEDE-Q scores than age-matched controls, demonstrating the adequate criterion validity of the instrument (all subscales and global scores significant at p < 0.001). Internal consistency was high for all original ChEDE/ChEDE-Q subscales (minimum Cronbach alpha 0.752), apart from Eating Concerns (minimum Cronbach alpha 0.591). Inter-rater reliability was excellent for global ChEDE/ChEDE-Q scores and each subscale (minimum Spearman rho 0.999). Test-retest reliability was excellent for global ChEDE/ChEDE-Q scores and each subscale (minimum Spearman rho 0.791).
Conclusions: The Italian versions of the ChEDE interview and ChEDE-Q exhibited excellent psychometric properties and may, therefore, be recommended for the assessment of Italian patients with eating disorders less than 18 years old, both in clinical practice and research settings. Level of evidence III evidence obtained from cohort or case-control analytic studies.
期刊介绍：
Eating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity is a scientific journal whose main purpose is to create an international forum devoted to the several sectors of eating disorders and obesity and the significant relations between them.
