Abstract:
Objective To develop a health self-assessment scale for patients with chronic headache and explore its application in clinical practice. Methods Through a literature review and interviews with clinical medical experts， the initial version of the health self-assessment scale for chronic headache was designed. One hundred and seventy patients with chronic headache were selected through usability sampling to test the face validity and content validity of the scale. The scale’s construct validity was tested by using an item response theory （IRT） model， and factor loadings were calculated. The multi-parameter IRT model in R software was used to analyze the collected data. Results The average content validity index of the 17 scale items was 0.885. The average face validity value of all the scale items was 1.5. In the face validity analysis， no items were deleted. According to the construct validity test， the difficulty coefficients， discrimination coefficients， and factor loadings were determined. Most items had appropriate factor loading values above 0.30. When the Kuder-Richardson reliability coefficient was 0.69， the test results were reliable. Finally， a 17-item health self-assessment scale for chronic headache was established. Conclusion Based on the definitions of chronic headache and somatoform disorders， this health self-assessment scale for chronic headache has comprehensive items with good reliability and validity. It covers all the aspects under the definition of somatoform disorders， which can comprehensively assess and quantify the somatoform conditions of patients with chronic headache.
