目的：本研究的目的是使Salkovskis等人开发的简短健康焦虑量表（SHAI）的英语版本适应波兰语，并在临床和非临床样本中调查其心理测量学特性和因素结构。方法：共有296人参加了本研究：临床样本172人（46%女性和54%男性;平均年龄：57.29 ± 13.01岁）和非临床样本中的124例（51%女性和49%男性;平均年龄：54.45 ± 13.63岁）。他们完成了波兰语版本的18项SHAI和汉密尔顿焦虑等级量表（HAM-A）。结果：两个样本均具有良好的内部一致性（Cronbach 'sa0.91和0.92）和重测信度（r=0.91和r=0.94）。相关分析显示，焦虑与SHAI总分和两个SHAI分量表中的每一个都有显着关系。因子分析显示，两个因素的解决方案，这占48%和49%的方差。截止分数为20是最佳的检测严重形式的健康焦虑的临床和非临床sample，提供了最佳的平衡之间的特异性和sensitivity.Discussion：尽管SHAI的广泛应用，波兰语版本尚未创建。该量表的心理测量特性证实了所提出的解决方案的高可靠性和准确性。结论：我们的研究结果证实，SHAI波兰版是一个可靠和有效的工具，用于检测健康焦虑。
Objectives: The aim of the study was to adapt the English language version of the Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI) developed by Salkovskis et al. to the Polish language and to investigate its psychometric properties and factor structure in clinical and non-clinical samples.Method: A total of 296 individuals participated in the study: 172 in the clinical sample (46% females and 54% males; mean age: 57.29 +/- 13.01 years) and 124 in the non-clinical sample (51% females and 49% males; mean age: 54.45 +/- 13.63). They completed the Polish language version of an 18-item SHAI and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). To assess psychometric properties, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, item-total statistics, construct and convergent validity, an analysis of ROC curves was performed.Results: Both samples had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's a 0.91 and 0.92) and test-retest reliability (r=0.91 and r=0.94). Correlational analysis revealed a significant relationship of anxiety to SHAI total score and to each of the two SHAI subscales. Factor analysis revealed a two-factors solution, which accounted for 48% and 49% of the variance. A cut-off score of 20 was optimal for detecting a severe form of health anxiety in the clinical and non-clinical sample, providing the best balance between specificity and sensitivity.Discussion: Despite the widespread application of SHAI, a Polish language version has not yet been created. The psychometric properties of the scale confirmed a high reliability and accuracy of the proposed solutions. Conclusions: Our findings confirm that the SHAI-Polish version is a reliable and valid instrument for detecting health anxiety.
