摘要

背景与目的编制了温斯坦噪声敏感量表（Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale， NSS）来测量学生的噪声敏感程度。然而，直到现在，NSS工具还没有适应或评估孟加拉的心理测量特性。本研究旨在探讨孟加拉语版噪音敏感度量表简表（NSS-SF-BV）在学生和一般人群中的心理测量特性。方法采用方便抽样的横断面调查方法。共有793名被试完成了NSS-SF-BV、噪音烦恼量表（NAS）和抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS-21）问卷。学生样本包括491名18-28岁的学生（M = 22.90，男性41.8%），一般样本包括302名19-69岁的成年人（M = 36.90，男性50.3%），来自孟加拉国拉杰沙希市。采用探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）对两个独立样本进行因子结构检验。81名参与者在两周内完成了两次NSS-SF-BV，以确保重测信度。结果EFA证实了NSS-SF包含5个项目的单因素结构，解释了学生样本总方差的52.23%。CFA验证了量表的单向度因子，并认可了量表的结构效度。通过Cronbach's α和ω测量的内部一致性显示出令人满意的信度(学生样本：α = 0.76, ω = 0.79；一般样本：α = 0.75, ω = 0.79)。同时效度和收敛效度（学生样本为0.86，一般样本为0.71）令人满意。模型拟合指标可接受。NSS-SF-BV与NAS呈显著正相关（r = 0.381, p = 0.01），与应激呈显著弱相关（r = 0.089, p = 0.05）。综上所示，NSS-SF-BV是评价孟加拉国居民噪声敏感性的有效、可靠的工具。

Psychometric Properties of the Bangla Version of Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale Short Form (NSS-SF-BV) Among Bangladeshi Individuals: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background and Aims

The Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale (NSS) was developed to measure the noise sensitivity of the students. However, until now, NSS tools have not been adapted or assessed for psychometric properties in Bangla. The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Bangla Version of the Noise Sensitivity Scale Short Form (NSS-SF-BV) in both student and general populations.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted with convenience sampling among the participants. A total of 793 participants completed the NSS-SF-BV, Noise Annoyance Scale (NAS) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire in this study. The student sample consisted of 491 students aged 18–28 (M = 22.90, 41.8% males), and the general sample consisted of 302 adults aged 19–69 (M = 36.90, 50.3% males) from Rajshahi city, Bangladesh. The factor structure was tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with two independent samples. 81 participants completed the NSS-SF-BV twice over a 2-week interval to ensure test-retest reliability.

Results

The EFA confirmed the one-factor structure of the NSS-SF with five items, explained 52.23% of the total variance in the student sample. The CFA confirmed the unidimensional factor and approved the structural validity of the scale. Internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha and Omega demonstrated satisfactory reliability (student sample: α = 0.76, ω = 0.79; general sample: α = 0.75, ω = 0.79). Concurrent and convergent validity (student sample 0.86 and general sample 0.71) were found satisfactory. The model fit indices were acceptable. Positive and strong correlations were observed between the NSS-SF-BV and NAS (r = 0.381, p = 0.01), along with a significant, although weak correlation with stress (r = 0.089, p = 0.05).
