对405例慢性疼痛患者进行了SUNYA修订心身症状检查表（PSC）的心理测量学评估，这些患者完成了PSC作为诊断单元的一部分。检验了该量表的若干性质，包括信度、内部一致性、判别效度和因子结构。与先前的研究相反，该测量显示出适度的信度，差的判别效度和多因素结构，仅占测量中方差的一小部分。因此，当与慢性疼痛患者一起使用时，PSC似乎不是一般身心困扰的适当测量。对于这些患者，PSC可能测量症状群而不是一般的心身症状学。由于PSC在各种临床人群中使用，结果强调了调查这些人群中测量特性的重要性。
A psychometric evaluation of the SUNYA Revision of the Psychosomatic Symptom Checklist (PSC) was conducted with 405 chronic pain patients who completed the PSC as part of a diagnostic battery. Several properties of the measure were examined, including its reliability, internal consistency, discriminant validity, and factor structure. Contrary to a previous study, the measure demonstrated a modest reliability, a poor discriminant validity, and a multifactor structure that accounted for only a small proportion of the variance in the measure. Thus, the PSC did not appear to be an adequate measure of general psychosomatic distress when used with chronic pain patients. For these patients, the PSC may measure symptom clusters rather than general psychosomatic symptomatology. Since the PSC is used in various clinical populations, the results underscore the importance of investigating the properties of the measure in these populations.
