OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to field test the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale to examine its psychometric properties.
METHODS: The FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale was administered to 171 adults (22 years or older) seeking minimally invasive treatment to improve temple hollowing as part of a clinical trial. The severity of temple hollowing was established through the clinician-reported Allergan Temple Hollowing scale (clinician-rated). The psychometric properties of the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale were established by testing Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) assumptions and model fit; unidimensionality by principal component analysis; and construct validity by hypothesis testing.
RESULTS: The study sample consisted of 171 adults (mean age 54.7 ± 9.9, range, 25-82 years). RMT analysis provided evidence for the scientific soundness of a 12-item Satisfaction with Temples scale. The data fit the Rasch model (χ2 = 20.47, df = 24, p = 0.67), all items had ordered thresholds, and good item fit. Scale reliability was high, with Person Separation Index and Cronbach alpha values with and without extremes ≥0.93. Principal component analysis revealed a single component with high factor coefficients. Construct validity was established as scores for the Satisfaction with Temples and Face Overall scales were correlated (r = 0.623, p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: The FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale is a reliable and valid measure that can be used in clinical practice and research to measure outcomes following treatment for temple hollowing.
目的:本研究的目的是用Temples量表实地测试FACE-Q满意度,以检查其心理测量特性。
方法:对171名寻求微创治疗以改善太阳穴空洞的成年人(22岁或以上)进行了FACE-Q对太阳穴满意度量表的研究。通过临床医生报告的AllerganTemple挖空量表(临床医生评估)确定了太阳穴挖空的严重程度。通过测试Rasch测量理论(RMT)假设和模型拟合,建立了FACE-Q对Temples量表满意度的心理测量特性;通过主成分分析进行单维;并通过假设检验构造效度。
结果:研究样本包括171名成年人(平均年龄54.7±9.9,范围,25-82岁)。RMT分析为12项对Temples的满意度量表的科学合理性提供了证据。数据符合Rasch模型(χ2=20.47,df=24,p=0.67),所有项目都有订购的阈值,和良好的项目适合。规模可靠性高,人分离指数和Cronbachα值在有和没有极端≥0.93的情况下。主成分分析显示单成分具有较高的因子系数。构建效度被确立为对寺庙和面部总体量表的满意度得分相关(r=0.623,p<0.001)。
结论:FACE-Q对Temples的满意度量表是一种可靠且有效的衡量标准,可用于临床实践和研究,以衡量治疗后的结果。
