从阿尔茨海默病专科护理人员的角度经验性地编制了一份用于测量晚期阿尔茨海默病患者不适感的客观量表，并判断其具有内容效度。在初步测试的基础上，不适程度被减少到9个项目。制定了可量化的评分程序和评分员培训计划。在两个地点对82名受试者进行了6个月的纵向测试(DS-DAT)。讨论了心理测量学的特性，测量问题，以及在实践和研究中使用的建议。
An objective scale for measuring discomfort in noncommunicative patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease was empirically generated from the perspectives of nursing staff practicing on special care Alzheimer units and was judged to have content validity. On the basis of a pilot test, the discomfort scale was reduced to nine items. Quantifiable scoring procedures and a rater training program were developed. The scale (DS-DAT) was tested longitudinally for 6 months with 82 subjects at two sites. Psychometric properties, measurement issues, and recommendations for use in practice and research are discussed.
