在知情的情况下决定接受任何筛查或诊断性测试的先决条件是了解此类测试。这项研究描述了一种自我管理的问卷的发展,以衡量产前测试的知识,用于研究有关这些测试的吸收。对信度(内部和重测)和预测效度进行了评估。效度通过两个研究进行评估:第一,比较三个标准组(两个有怀孕经历,一个没有怀孕经历);第二,比较问卷上的分数在向妇女提供关于可能的测试的信息之前和之后。结果表明,这是关于产前测试知识的可靠和有效的测量。研究结果还突显了所缺乏的知识方面。例如,相当多的少数妇女在确定她们在最近怀孕期间接受了哪些测试时不确定或不正确。
A prerequisite to an informed decision to undergo any screening or diagnostic test is knowledge about such a test. This study describes the development of a self-administered questionnaire to measure knowledge of prenatal tests, for use in studies concerning the uptake of these tests. Both the reliability (internal and test-retest) and predictive validity are evaluated. Validity is assessed in two studies: first, comparison is made between three criterion groups (two with experience of pregnancy, one without); and second, scores on the questionnaire are compared before and after women have been provided with information about possible tests.The results show this to be both a reliable and valid measure of knowledge about prenatal tests. The results also highlight aspects of knowledge that are lacking. For example, a sizeable minority of women were uncertain or incorrect in identifying which tests they had undergone in a recent pregnancy.
