修订后的记忆和行为问题检查表（RMBPC）是一份由护理者报告的24项痴呆患者可观察到的行为问题量表，对患者的问题（记忆相关、抑郁和破坏性行为）提供1个总分和3个亚量表评分，并对护理者的反应提供平行评分。数据来自201名老年患者及其护理人员。因子分析证实了3个一阶因子，与刚刚命名的子量表一致，1个一般因素。量表总体信度较好，α值为。患者行为和。照顾者反应90分。子量表alpha值范围从。67到0.89。通过将RMBPC评分与抑郁、认知障碍和照顾者负担等指标进行比较，确认有效性。RMBPC被推荐为痴呆患者行为问题的临床和经验评估的可靠和有效的工具。
The Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist (RMBPC), a 24-item, caregiver-report measure of observable behavioral problems in dementia patients, provides 1 total score and 3 subscale scores for patient problems (memory-related, depression, and disruptive behaviors) and parallel scores for caregiver reaction. Data were obtained from 201 geriatric patients and their caregivers. Factor analysis confirmed 3 first-order factors, consistent with subscales just named, and 1 general factor of behavioral disturbance. Overall scale reliability was good, with alphas of .84 for patient behavior and .90 for caregiver reaction. Subscale alphas ranged from .67 to .89. Validity was confirmed through comparison of RMBPC scores with well-established indexes of depression, cognitive impairment, and caregiver burden. The RMBPC is recommended as a reliable and valid tool for the clinical and empirical assessment of behavior problems in dementia patients.
