EQ-5D是一种通用的测量方法，它允许比较不同疾病状态下的生活质量，并可能为卫生政策和资源分配决策提供有用的数据。目前还没有关于阿拉伯语EQ-5D的可接受性和心理测量学特性的公开报道。因此，我们调查了阿拉伯语版EQ-5D在约旦的效度和可靠性。这项研究是在一个方便的样本中进行的，样本包括连续的讲阿拉伯语的成年门诊患者或前往大学教学医院就诊的访客。受试者使用包含EQ-5D(简写为36健康调查问卷)的标准化问卷进行两次访谈。为了评估阿拉伯文版EQ-5D的效度，我们检验了10个假设，将对EQ-5D维度或视觉模拟量表(EQ-VAS)的反应与SF-36分数或其他变量联系起来，并评估了重测信度。这项研究包括186名受试者，他们的平均年龄为45.3岁，其中87人(47%)为女性。超过102名(55%)的受试者报告的主要问题是焦虑/抑郁。所有与EQ-5D反应与外部变量相关的10个先验假设都得到满足。科恩的重测信度(n=52)的κ为0.48~1.0。阿拉伯文翻译的EQ-5D似乎在衡量约旦人民的生活质量方面是有效和可靠的。
EQ-5D is a generic measure that permits comparisons in quality of life across disease states, and which may provide useful data for health policy and resource allocation decision-making. There are no published reports on the acceptability and psychometric properties of the EQ-5D in the Arabic language. We therefore investigated the validity and reliability of the Arabic translation of the EQ-5D in Jordan. The study was conducted on a convenience sample consisting of consecutive adult Arabic-speaking outpatients or visitors attending a university teaching hospital. Subjects were interviewed twice using a standardized questionnaire containing the EQ-5D, Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). To assess the validity of the Arabic version of the EQ-5D, ten hypotheses relating responses to EQ-5D dimensions or the visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) to SF-36 scores or other variables were examined and test-retest reliability was assessed. The study included 186 subjects who had a mean age of 45.3 years and included 87 (47%) females. The major problem reported in more than 102 (55%) of the subjects was anxiety/depression. All of the ten a-priori hypothesis relating EQ-5D responses to external variables were fulfilled. Cohen's κ for test-retest reliability (n=52) ranged from 0.48 to 1.0. The Arabic translation of EQ-5D appears to be valid and reliable in measuring quality of life in Jordanian people.
