目的：本研究为新阿尔茨海默病知识量表（ADKS）的可接受性、信度和效度提供初步证据，该量表是阿尔茨海默病知识测验的内容和心理测量更新。设计与方法：采用传统的量表开发方法，在不同的子样本中生成项目并评估其心理测量特性。结果：最终的30题真假量表大约需要5-10分钟完成，涵盖危险因素、评估和诊断、症状、病程、生活影响、护理、治疗和管理。初步结果表明，ADKS具有足够的信度（重测和内部一致性）和效度（内容、预测、并发和收敛）。含义：ADKS设计用于应用和研究背景，能够评估外行人、患者、护理人员和专业人员对阿尔茨海默病的知识。
Purpose: This study provides preliminary evidence for the acceptability, reliability, and validity of the new Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale (ADKS), a content and psychometric update to the Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Test. Design and Methods: Traditional scale development methods were used to generate items and evaluate their psychometric properties in a variety of subsamples. Results: The final 30-item, true/false scale takes approximately 5-10 min to complete and covers risk factors, assessment and diagnosis, symptoms, course, life impact, caregiving, and treatment and management. Preliminary results suggest that the ADKS has adequate reliability (test-retest and internal consistency) and validity (content, predictive, concurrent, and convergent). Implications: The ADKS is designed for use in both applied and research contexts, capable of assessing knowledge about Alzheimer's disease among laypeople, patients, caregivers, and professionals.
