内容説明
The increased awareness of the impact of health care on the quality of human life means that clinical researchers working in a wide spectrum of disciplines need information about measures such as pain, depression, or function. A sound, scientific and reproduceable system of measurement is required by researchers in disciplines such as psychiatry, rheumatology, oncology - and other health professions such as nursing, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. Based on a graduate course developed by the authors at McMaster University, this book introduces concepts of measurement to researchers in health sciences, emphasizing applications rather than theory. Topics are covered in the order they might confront someone faced with the problem of developing a new measurement, beginning with an overview of the criteria which should be used to assess any measurement instrument. Finally, appendices show the reader how to find further information about tests and scales.

内容説明
Now available in paperback, this is the second edition of the only practical guide for clinicians developing tools to measure subjective states, attitudes or 'non-tangible' outcomes in their patients. The second edition has been throughly revised to incorporate all the latest research published since the first edition. It has been expanded and includes a new chapter on ehtics and a thorough discussion of reliability and generalizability theory. Throughout the book the authors provide a practical step-by-step approach to guide the reader through the development of their own scales. This is an essential book for anyone who uses or would like to use rating scales in their clinical practice. This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students of medicine and epidemiology; clinical researchers in a wide spectrum of disciplines; general medicine, psychology/psychiatry, oncology, neurology, rheumatology, cardiology, and primary care.
