背景和目的：本研究考察了一种新开发的工具——马丁和帕克环境需求（MPED）问卷的有效性，以衡量35至84岁的成年人在日常事件中所面临的自我报告的环境需求水平，特别是因为这些需求会影响服药时的健忘。方法：MPED有两个量表，包括忙碌度，它解决了个人参加的日常事件的密度或速度；常规，解决独立于密度的事件的可预测性或常规化。研究人员对121名类风湿性关节炎患者进行了MPED测试，并对他们的年龄、教育程度、就业状况、家庭规模和其他可能影响“忙碌”和“例行”自我认知的因素进行了基线评估。结果：量表具有良好的内部一致性和外部效度。较高的环境需求水平与年龄呈负相关，与就业、家庭规模和用药错误呈正相关。即使在控制了这些社会人口变量的影响之后，忙碌和依从性错误之间仍然存在显著的独立关联。结论：在评估一般每日环境需求水平时，建议使用MPED。
Background and aims:The present study examines the usefulness of a newly developed instrument, the Martin and Park Environmental Demands (MPED) Questionnaire, to measure the level of self-reported environmental demands of day-to-day events faced by adults aged 35 to 84 years, particularly as these demands influence forgetfulness in taking medications.Methods:The MPED has two scales including Busyness, which addresses the density or pace of daily events to which an individual attends; and Routine, addressing the predictability or routinization of events independent of density. The MPED was administered to a sample of 121 rheumatoid arthritis patients, along with a baseline assessment battery measuring age, education, employment status, household size and other factors that might influence self-perception of Busyness and Routine.Results:The scale showed good internal consistency and external validity. Higher levels of environmental demand were negatively correlated with age and positively correlated with employment, household size and medication-taking errors. There was a significant independent association between Busyness and adherence errors even after controlling for the effects of these sociodemographic variables.Conclusions:The MPED is recommended when trying to assess the general daily level of environmental demands.
