Abstract:
Objective To develop the Quality of Life Scale for Patients with Aplastic Anemia(QLS-AA)and to test its reliability and validity.Methods According to the concept category and the four-dimensional model of quality of life,the scale item pool was initially constructed through literature review and qualitative interview.The draft of the QLS-AA was formed through expert inquiry,cognitive interviews and expert consultation.A questionnaire survey was conducted on 429 patients with aplastic anemia from the hematology departments of a tertiary general hospital in Zhejiang Province and a tertiary hematology hospital in Tianjin with the convenient sampling method from December 2021 to November 2022,and the item analysis and reliability,validity test of the pre-test scale were carried out.Results 422 valid questionnaires were collected,and the effective questionnaire recovery rate was 98.37%.3 common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 66.113%.The scale level consensus content validity index was 0.821,the scale level average content validity index was 0.970,the item level content validity index was 0.833~1.000,and the correlation coefficient with SF-36 was 0.719.The Cronbach's α was 0.944,and the split half reliability was 0.882,and retest reliability was 0.931.The final QLS-AA includes 3 dimensions with 39 items.Conclusion The process of developing QLS-AA in this study is scientifically standardized,and the scale has good reliability and validity,which can effectively evaluate the quality of life for patients with aplastic anemia.
