目的：比较标准化的，心理健康的措施，心理社会变量和身体暴力与单项措施目前用于筛选目的在产科clinic.Study设计：两百多民族妇女进行了采访，在计划产前检查在城市围产期中心。参与者以前完成了一个标准的围产期自我管理的清单，其中包括几个单项心理社会问题。医疗和产科史，目前的危险因素，和产时并发症收集从医疗records.Results：相关性分析表明，单项自我报告措施更适合某些类型的变量比其他。具体而言，焦虑，抑郁和社会支持，单项措施显着相关的标准化，psychometrically健全的措施，而这是不正确的压力和家庭violation.Conclusion：它可能是适当的依赖自我报告的单项措施，以检测一些心理社会危险因素在临床环境中的转介的目的。在评估家庭暴力时，单项措施可能不够，因为使用标准化、心理测量学上健全的措施进行的个人访谈导致报告率较高。
Objective: To compare standardized, psychometrically sound measures of psychosocial variables and physical violence with single-item measures currently used for screening purposes in an obstetric clinic.Study Design: Two hundred multiethnic women were interviewed during scheduled prenatal visits at an urban perinatal center. Participants previously completed a standard perinatal self-administered inventory, which included several single-item psychosocial questions. Medical and obstetric history, current risk factors, and intrapartum complications were collected from medical records.Results: Correlational analyses indicated that single-item self-report measures were more appropriate for certain types of variables than for others. Specifically, for anxiety, depression, and social support, single-item measures were significantly correlated with standardized, psychometrically sound measures, whereas this was not true for stress and domestic violence.Conclusion: It may be appropriate to rely on self-reported single-item measures to detect some psychosocial risk factors in clinical settings for the purposes of referral. When assessing for domestic violence, single-item measures may not be adequate, as personal interviews using a standardized, psychometrically sound measure resulted in higher rates of reporting.
