BACKGROUND: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the durability of patient adherence to fluid and dietary restrictions may depend on the degree to which they have hope that they will enjoy life. Previous cross-sectional studies have shown that higher hope was associated with lower distress from fluid and dietary restrictions and better adherence in the short term. In this study, we aimed to examine the long-term relationship of hope with distress from fluid and dietary restrictions. METHODS: This prospective observational cohort study included 444 patients with CKD undergoing dialysis in one of five Japanese nephrology centers. Hope as a predictor was measured using an 18-item health-related hope scale. Outcomes were two-item measures of distress from fluid and dietary intake restrictions using the Japanese version of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, Version 1.3 (higher scores indicate lower levels of distress). Multivariate linear mixed models were used to estimate the association of baseline health-related hope with distress from fluid and dietary restrictions at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 67 years, and 31.1% of them were females. In total, 124, 98, and 222 had non-dialysis CKD, peritoneal dialysis, and hemodialysis, respectively. Higher levels of baseline health-related hope were associated with lower levels of distress from fluid restriction after one year (per 10-point increase, 2.6 points (95% confidence interval, 1.0 to 4.1)); whereas the baseline score was not associated with the distress from fluid restriction at 2 years. Similarly, higher levels of baseline health-related hope were associated with lower levels of distress from dietary restriction after one year (per 10-point increase, 2.0 points (95% confidence interval, 0.3 to 3.6)); whereas the baseline score was not associated with the distress from dietary restriction at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: Health-related hope, regardless of depression, can potentially mitigate long-term distress from fluid and dietary restrictions in patients with a wide range of CKD severities.

Abstract

We explored body‐scan postures suitable for people with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tendency by developing and validating the Mindfulness Encouraging/Discouraging Reactions Scales (MERS/MDRS), using university students. In Study 1, we conducted a survey to collect typical positive and negative reactions during mindfulness exercises from 21 participants and created the preliminary items. In Study 2, 192 participants completed existing state/trait mindfulness scales and the preliminary MERS and MDRS after mindful breathing. Based on an item response model, we developed and validated MERS and MDRS. In Study 3, 19 participants were categorized into one of four groups: (a) combined, (b) hyperactive/impulsive, (c) inattentive, and (d) without ADHD tendencies. They performed body‐scan meditations with each of the counterbalanced postures (upright, slumped, leaning‐back sitting, and supine), and completed the questionnaires. The analysis showed that those with hyperactivity/impulsivity tendency found the body‐scan meditation a challenge with the slumped posture and easier to perform in the supine posture; the upright posture provided high and low MERS to the hyperactivity/impulsivity tendency group and combined group, respectively; and sleepiness correlated with MERS in the supine posture (r = .49) and the upright posture (r = .51). We identified helpful body scan postures for people with ADHD tendency, using MERS and MDRS, but it was noted that these scales were created solely based on intuitive impressions for beginners, and it is not recommended that the items included in them be aimed for or avoided.

INTRODUCTION: Hyperkalaemia (HK) is a frequent complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or chronic heart failure (CHF). HK must be managed, both to protect patients from its direct clinical adverse outcomes and to enable treatment with disease-modifying therapies including renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. However, the experiences of patients undergoing treatment of HK are not clearly understood. Optimising treatment decisions and improving long-term patient management requires a better understanding of patients' quality of life (QOL). Thus, the aims of this research are: (1) to describe treatment patterns and the impact of treatment on a patient's QOL, (2) to study the relationships between treatment patterns and the impact of treatment on a patient's QOL and (3) to study the relationships between the control of serum potassium (S-K) and the impact of treatment on a patient's QOL, in patients with HK. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a prospective cohort study with 6 months of follow-up in 30-40 outpatient nephrology and cardiology clinics in Japan. The participants will be 350 patients with CKD or CHF who received their first potassium binders (PB) prescription to treat HK within the previous 6 months. Medical records will be used to obtain information on S-K, on treatment of HK with PBs and with diet, and on the patients' characteristics. To assess the impact of treatment on a patient's QOL, questionnaires will be used to obtain generic health-related QOL, CKD-specific and CHF-specific QOL, and PB-specific QOL. Multivariable regression models will be used to quantify how treatment patterns and S-K control are related to the impact of treatment on a patient's QOL. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Institutional review boards at all participating facilities review the study protocol. Patient consent will be obtained. The results will be published in international journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05297409.

Introduction Establishing a scale that can easily be used to appropriately measure the impact of constipation on the quality of life in Japan is a first step toward addressing this important health issue. We developed a Japanese language version of the Constipation-Related Quality of Life scale, which has 18 items and four subscales, and then subjected it to validation testing. Methods After translation according to a standardized and commonly used procedure, the Japanese version of the Constipation-Related Quality of Life scale was administered to people in an internet-based panel, in March 2023. The participants included 1,276 adults who had constipation (median age: 60 years, 690 {54.1%} males). The outcome measures included the Constipation-Related Quality of Life scale, the Constipation Scoring System (an index of constipation severity), and the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) eight-item short form (a measure of generic health-related quality of life). Results Confirmatory factor analysis (four-factor model) indicated that all 18 Constipation-Related Quality of Life items had sufficiently high factor loadings (0.686-0.926). Internal consistency reliability was high (Cronbach's alpha: 0.86-0.94). Scores on the social impairment subscale and on the distress subscale of the Constipation-Related Quality of Life scale were significantly worse in the participants who had worse scores on the social functioning and mental health domains, respectively, of the MOS eight-item short form, which indicates good concurrent validity. Regarding criterion-based validity, the four subscale scores differed significantly among the four constipation-severity groups. The four subscale scores were also 1.16-4.53 times more sensitive than the MOS eight-item short form's mental component score to differences among the four constipation-severity groups (relative validity: 1.16-4.53), which indicates good discriminant validity. Conclusion The Japanese version of the Constipation-Related Quality of Life scale can be used with confidence in its factor structure, its concurrent, criterion-based, and discriminant validity, and its internal consistency reliability.

BACKGROUND: The burden of COVID-19 on healthcare workers (HCWs) is reported to be increasing, yet the psychometric scales now in use evaluate only single aspects; few measure the pandemic-specific burden on HCWs comprehensively. OBJECTIVE: To develop a scale to quantify the physical, mental, and socioeconomic burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on HCWs. DESIGN: Scale development and cross-sectional survey. PARTICIPANTS: Consenting HCWs aged ≥20. MAIN MEASURES: Development of an item-list based on literature reviews and HCW panel input, evaluation of content validity and item selection using the Delphi method, psychometric testing conducted on HCWs, validity assessment by factor analyses and hypothesis verification, internal consistency evaluation by Cronbach's alpha, test-retest analysis, and interpretability assessment. KEY RESULTS: Through the Delphi process, a 29-item pilot scale was generated. In psychometric testing, data from 863 HCWs contributed to the development of the final version of this scale, called Pandemic Burden Index twenty for HCWs (PBI-20), a 20-item scale to measure six domains: fatigue, fear of infection, inadequacy as a medical professional, mental health concerns, prejudice or discrimination, and anxiety about one's livelihood and daily life. Factor analysis showed each factor corresponded to the six domains of this scale. Hypothesis verification showed the PBI-20 total score to be moderately to highly correlated with the Short Form 36 vitality score and mental health score and with intention of turnover. The PBI-20 had good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.92). Test-retest analysis showed the intraclass correlation coefficient to be 0.70 and the minimal important change to be -7.0. CONCLUSIONS: The psychometrically sound questionnaire we developed to measure pandemic-specific burdens for HCWs provides an understanding of comprehensive burdens on HCWs and may serve to evaluate interventions to reduce the burdens.

Rationale & Objective In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the durability of patient adherence to fluid and dietary restrictions may depend on the degree to which they have hope that they will enjoy life. However, few studies have examined the long-term role of health-related hope (HR-Hope) on distress from fluid and dietary restrictions. Study Design Prospective cohort study. Setting & Participants A total of 444 non-dialysis stage 3-5 patients and stage 5D patients attending one of five Japanese nephrology centers. Exposure An 18-item HR-Hope scale with a score ranging from 0 to 100. Outcomes Two-item measures of restrictions on fluid and dietary intake from the Japanese version of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, Version 1.3, with each score ranging from 0 to 100. Analytical Approach Multivariate linear mixed models were used to estimate the association of baseline HR-Hope with distress from fluid and dietary restrictions at baseline and follow-up. Results The mean age of participants was 67 years, 31.1% were female, and 124, 98, and 222 had non-dialysis CKD, peritoneal dialysis, and hemodialysis, respectively. Baseline HR-Hope buffered the growing distress from fluid restriction after one year (-18.01 pts [95% CI, -28.24 to -7.79]) per 10-pt increase, 2.59 pts [95% CI, 1.05 to 4.13]. The distress from fluid restriction at 2 years did not differ from baseline. Baseline HR-Hope buffered the growing distress from dietary restriction after one year (-12.4 pts [95% CI, -22.68 to -2.12]) per 10-pt increase, 1.96 pts (95% CI, 0.34 to 3.57). The distress from dietary restriction at 2 years did not differ from baseline. Limitations Use of self-reported measures as proxies for adherence. Conclusions Our study shows that HR-Hope, regardless of depression, can potentially mitigate the long-term distress from fluid and dietary restrictions in patients with a wide range of CKD severities.

BACKGROUND: To elucidate the experience of patients with cancer from diagnosis to early survivorship in Japan using a nationwide questionnaire survey, and to inform the current progress of the cancer control programs. METHODS: The survey was sent to a representative sample of adult patients with cancer identified from the national database of hospital-based cancer registries. The patients' responses were compared across three groups: patients with rare cancers, patients aged < 40 years, and patients with non-rare cancers aged ≥40 years. RESULTS: Of 20,488 patients invited to participate in the survey, 8935 (43.6%) responded. Respondents reported an average score of 7.9 out of 10 on global ratings of care. Patients with rare cancers experienced a longer time to diagnosis but the shortest time from diagnosis to first treatment (p < 0.05). Patients aged < 40 years rated worse for the majority of the survey items, especially on items that related to communication with medical staff and items referring to early survivorship. CONCLUSION: The care experienced by patients with cancer in Japan varies on the basis of age group and cancer type. Efforts should be directed to ensuring prompt access to diagnostic facilities for patients with rare cancers and providing sufficient support to younger patients.

BACKGROUND: A family member's negative experiences with medical care have long-term effects on a patient's attitudes and emotions. However, the impact of family members' experiences on patients' trust in their own physicians and in physicians generally is poorly understood. This study aims to quantify these associations. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey involving adults with non-communicable diseases (cardiac disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, and rheumatic disease) was conducted in Japan during April 2020. The main exposure variable was dissatisfaction with the medical care that family members had received. The main outcomes were patients' (N = 661) own trust in their personal physicians and in physicians generally. The study adopted the Japanese version of the Abbreviated Wake Forest Physician Trust Scales. Both 5-item scales (general and individual physician trust) were translated and validated for the study. The total scores were transformed into a scale of 0-100 points. A series of linear mixed-effects models with consideration for clustering effect by prefectures were fit. RESULTS: The results showed a lower rating for trust in physicians generally as compared to trust in the respondent's personal physician (mean 57.0 vs. 66.4 points; p < 0.001). Furthermore, dissatisfaction with a family member's medical care was associated with lower trust in physicians generally (mean difference - 9.58, 95 %CI -12.4 to -6.76). Interestingly, dissatisfaction with a family member's care was also associated with lower trust in the respondent's personal physician (mean difference - 3.19, 95 %CI -6.02 to -0.36), but the magnitude of this association was weaker. The lower trust in personal physicians may be mediated by reduced trust in physicians generally. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that physicians enquire about past patients' negative experiences, including dissatisfaction with family members' medical care, to repair hidden loss of trust, when they sense that patients doubt them or physicians generally.

BACKGROUND: Previous qualitative research has described that previous misdiagnoses may reduce patient and their families' trust in healthcare. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the associations between patients or family members' misdiagnosis experiences and trust in their physician. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Adult Japanese people with non-communicable diseases (cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, and connective tissue disease), recruited using a web-based panel survey. MAIN MEASURES: Surveys assessed the patient and the patient's family's experience with misdiagnosis. Trust in the respondent's current physician was measured using the Japanese version of the 11-item Trust in Physician Scale. KEY RESULTS: Among 661 patients (response rate 30.1%), 23.2% had a personal history of misdiagnosis and 20.4% had a family history of misdiagnosis. In a multivariable-adjusted general linear model, patients or a family members' misdiagnosis experiences were associated with lower confidence in their current physician (mean difference -4.3, 95%CI -8.1 to -0.49 and -3.2, 95%CI -6.3 to -0.05, respectively). The impact of having a personal and a family member's experience of misdiagnosis on trust was additive, with no evidence of interaction (P for interaction = 0.494). CONCLUSIONS: The patient's or family members' misdiagnosis experiences reduced trust in the patient's current physicians. Interventions specifically targeting misdiagnosed patients are needed to restore trust.

Background
Previous qualitative research has described that past misdiagnosis experiences may reduce patients' own and their families' trust in healthcare.
Objective
To quantify the associations between patients' or family member' misdiagnosis experiences and the former's trust in their current physicians.
Design
A cross-sectional online survey.
Participants
Adult Japanese people with non-communicable diseases (cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, and connective tissue disease), recruited using a web-based panel survey.
Main Measures
The misdiagnosis experiences of patients and their family members were measured as exposures. The former's trust in their current physicians was measured using the Japanese version of the 11-item Trust in Physicians Scale modified by Thom, which was translated and validated by us for this study.
Key Results
A total of 661 patients with a mean age of 62.7 years were analyzed. Overall, 23.2% had a history of misdiagnosis and 20.4% had a family member who had been misdiagnosed. The internal consistency (Cronbach's α) was 0.91. The factor analysis suggested unidimensionality with all 11 loadings being higher than 0.40. In a multivariable-adjusted general linear model, patients' and family members' misdiagnosis experiences were associated with lower confidence in their current physicians (mean difference -4.30, 95%CI -8.12 to -0.49 and -3.20, 95%CI -6.34 to -0.05, respectively). An additive effect was suggested for the associations of patients' and family's experience of misdiagnosis on trust (P for interaction = 0.494).
Conclusions
The individuals' and family members' misdiagnosis experiences were associated with reduced trust in their current physicians. Interventions specifically targeting misdiagnosed patients are needed to restore patients' confidence in their current physicians.

BACKGROUND: Understanding patient journey and burden of disease in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) helps improve diagnostic and treatment processes. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore patient journey from time of disease onset to a definitive diagnosis and disease burden in Japanese patients with CTEPH. METHODS: A mixed-methods study exploring patient journey and disease burden of 33 Japanese patients with a definitive diagnosis of CTEPH. The patients from 2 university hospitals underwent semistructured interviews. Data were transcribed into verbatim records, and 2 independent researchers conducted thematic analyses. Data concerning patient journey were also analyzed quantitatively with supplementary use of medical records. RESULTS: Median times from initial onset of symptoms to a confirmed diagnosis and first visitation to a medical institution to a definitive diagnosis of CTEPH were 32 and 20 months, respectively. Thematic analyses found that, for patients, reasons for delay in seeking initial consultations included misattribution of symptoms to aging or lack of physical strength. For healthcare providers, reasons for delays in diagnosis included poor recognition of CTEPH and difficulty in recalling the disease as a differential diagnosis. Burdens of CTEPH were caused by physical symptoms, and mental and social issues, including restriction of daily activities owing to oxygen therapy, disappointment with the intractable nature of the disease, poor understanding of the disease by other people, and lack of social networks. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlighted physical, mental, and social burdens in patients with CTEPH and possible missed opportunities in making the diagnosis of CTEPH during the patient journey. Increasing disease awareness in healthcare providers and networking among patients may contribute to better patient care.

We aimed to develop and validate a new simple decision support tool (U-TEST) for diagnosis of sarcopenia in orthopaedic patients. We created seventeen candidate original questions to detect sarcopenia in orthopaedic patients with sarcopenia through expert opinions and a semi-structured interview. To derive a decision support tool, a logistic regression model with backward elimination was applied to select variables from the seventeen questions, age and underweight (BMI < 18·5 kg/m2). Sarcopenia was defined by Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. After assigning a score to each selected variable, the sum of scores was calculated. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the new tool using a logistic regression model. A bootstrap technique was used for internal validation. Among a total of 1334 orthopaedic patients, sixty-five (4·9 %) patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia. We succeeded in developing a 'U-TEST' with scores ranging from 0 to 11 consisting of values for BMI (Underweight), age (Elderly) and two original questions ('I can't stand up from a chair without supporting myself with my arms' (Strength) and 'I feel that my arms and legs are thinner than they were in the past' (Thin)). The AUC was 0·77 (95 % CI 0·71, 0·83). With the optimal cut-off set at 3 or greater based on Youden's index, the sensitivity and the specificity were 76·1 and 63·6 %, respectively. In orthopaedic patients, our U-TEST scoring with two questions and two simple clinical variables can help to screen for sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), patients' adherence to prescriptions for diet and for medications might depend on the degree to which they have hope that they will enjoy life, and that hope could vary with the stage of CKD. The aims of this study were to quantify both the association of CKD stage with health-related hope (HR-Hope), and the association of that hope with psychological and physiological manifestations of adherence. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study involving 461 adult CKD patients, some of whom were receiving dialysis. The main exposure was HR-Hope, measured using a recently-developed 18-item scale. The outcomes were perceived burden of fluid restriction and of diet restriction, measured using the KDQOL, and physiological manifestations of adherence (systolic and diastolic blood pressure [BP], and serum phosphorus and potassium levels). General linear models and generalized ordered logit models were fit. RESULTS: Participants at non-dialysis stage 4 and those at stage 5 had lower HR-Hope scores than did those at stage 2 or 3 (combined). Those at non-dialysis stage 5 had the lowest scores. HR-Hope scores of participants at stage 5D were similar to those of participants at stage 4, but they were lower than the scores of participants at stage 2 or 3 (combined). Higher HR-Hope scores were associated with lower perceived burdens of fluid restriction and of diet restriction (adjusted ORs per ten-point difference were 0.82 and 0.84, respectively). Higher HR-Hope scores were associated with lower systolic BP (adjusted mean difference in systolic BP per ten-point difference in HR-Hope scores was - 1.87 mmHg). In contrast, HR-Hope scores were not associated with diastolic BP, serum phosphorus levels, or serum potassium levels. CONCLUSIONS: Among CKD patients, HR-Hope is associated with disease stage, with psychological burden, and with some physiological manifestations of adherence.

The Likert method presents certain problems, such as the distribution bias caused by phenomena related to social desirability, central tendency, etc. One conceivable solution to this is to correct the distribution by changing the expression of the option's anchor. In this study, we propose "adaptive options when using the Likert method" designed to change the option set according to the respondent's latent level. We compare two sets of options. In terms of the anchor expression, we used one expression involving a symmetric option (ver. A) and another that increases the number of options in the positive expression (ver. B). As a result, ver. B showed that the distribution of the scale score was corrected to a closed, normal distribution. Furthermore, we also obtained a reasonable result in terms of the psychological distance of options. These results suggest the possibility of manipulating the distribution of the scale score by manipulating the anchor expression, while the possibility of the practical use of "adaptive options" was also demonstrated.

OBJECTIVES: To validate the SARC-F questionnaire for sarcopenia screening in musculoskeletal disease setting, and to assess improvements in diagnostic accuracy by adding "EBM" (elderly and body mass index information) to the SARC-F. DESIGN: Diagnostic accuracy study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The center involved in this study was located in an urban area of Kobe City, Japan. People with musculoskeletal disease in the knee, hip, or spine who were scheduled for surgical treatment were included. MEASUREMENTS: Sarcopenia was evaluated using the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2), which included bioimpedance, handgrip strength, and gait speed. Patients answered the SARC-F questionnaire and their body mass index was measured. SARC-F and "EBM" information were combined into an original score. The sensitivities, specificities, and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were estimated and compared to identify sarcopenia. RESULTS: A total of 959 patients were included. Sarcopenia by AWGS criteria was identified in 36 (3.8%) patients. SARC-F had a sensitivity of 41.7% and specificity of 68.5%. SARC-F+EBM had a sensitivity of 77.8% and specificity of 69.6%, with substantial improvement in sensitivity (P<0.001). The AUCs for SARC-F and SARC-F+EBM were 0.557 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.452-0.662) and 0.824 (95% CI 0.762-0.886), respectively (P<0.001). Similar results were obtained when EWGSOP2 criteria were used as the reference standard. CONCLUSION: The SARC-F alone is not adequate for finding cases in musculoskeletal disease settings. SARC-F+EBM significantly improved the sensitivity and overall diagnostic accuracy of the SARC-F for screening sarcopenia. SARC-F+EBM is potentially useful for screening sarcopenia in different ethnic and disease settings.

To identify the sources of hope for patients with chronic disease, a semi - structured interview was conducted with patients middle-aged and older, whose disease types and levels of activities of daily living limitations varied. Six patience - three with chronic kidney disease, one with rheumatoid arthritis, one with spinal cord injury, and another with lumbar spinal canal stenosis - were interviewed by a psychologist and an internist. It was determined that their sources greatly differed depending on individual circumstances, such as types and severity of disease, sources of joy and happiness, family structure, employment status, relationship with friends, etc. However, it also showed a stylization of hope dependent on individual experience; in other words, there was a tendency for patients to redefine their source of hope by setting attainable goals to match their limitations, or acknowledging what they have achieved and finding hope in maintaining their current state. We have determined that the sources of hope are comprised of two categories: ［foundation and process of finding hope］ and ［specific goals and sources］. The former consists of: ［stylization dependent on experience］, ［method and will］, ［use of external information］, ［intrinsic foundation］, and ［extrinsic foundation］. The latter consists of: ［health］, ［source of joy and happiness］, ［family］, and ［social connections］.

&nbsp;&nbsp;The present study reports a cross-temporal meta-analysis exploring age and survey-year differences in the average scores obtained on Rosenberg&rsquo;s (1965) Self-Esteem Scale in Japan.&nbsp;&nbsp;An examination of refereed journals published in Japan from 1980 to 2013 resulted in the selection of 256 studies involving 48,927 participants.&nbsp;&nbsp;Multiple regression analysis revealed significant effects of both age level and survey year on the average self-esteem scores.&nbsp;&nbsp;The self-esteem scores of junior high and high school students were lower than those of the other age groups, whereas the adults had higher self-esteem scores than did the other age groups.&nbsp;&nbsp;Survey year had a significant negative effect on the average self-esteem scores.&nbsp;&nbsp;The effects of survey year differed by age level.&nbsp;&nbsp;The average self-esteem scores of the junior high and high school students and the adults decreased linearly with survey year, whereas a curvilinear decrease with survey year was found in the college students&rsquo; scores.&nbsp;&nbsp;Several translations of Rosenberg&rsquo;s Self-Esteem Scale are available in Japan.&nbsp;&nbsp;The results of the present study indicated that the number of choices in the scale had an effect on the average self-esteem scores among the junior high, high school, and college students, and also the adults.

自閉症スペクトラム障害(ASD)の障害特性に対する知識度を測定するためのASD障害特性知識尺度(Literacy Scale of Characteristics of Autistic Spectrum Disorder:LS-ASD)の開発を試みた。医療系学部(研究科)および教育学部(研究科)に所属する大学生および大学院生637名、児童・思春期精神科領域の医療福祉従事者155名、普通科高等学校の教諭42名、高等養護および養護学校高等部の教諭17名を対象に、作成したASD障害特性尺度の質問紙に回答してもらった。尺度作成にあたっては、項目反応理論(IRT)に基づいて開発がなされた。IRTでは尺度の一次元性が前提とされているため、因子分析(主因子法)を行い、相関行列の固有値の減衰状況について検討した。また、因子分析の結果、因子負荷量が.40以上を項目の採用基準とした。データ分析の結果、最終的に44項目からなる内容的・基準関連妥当性、信頼性が確認できた尺度を作成することができた。

<b>Purpose:</b> Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) has been widely accepted as one possible QOL scale to evaluate upper gastrointestinal disease. The aim of this study was to verify the validation of GSRS for postoperative disorder and QOL of upper gastrointestinal disease. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> This cross sectional survey study was performed in 4 institutes from June to December 2012. The inclusion criteria were outpatients with digestive symptoms, 20 or over, be followed up more than 6 months and less than 5 years after surgery for gastric or esophageal carcinoma, no recurrence or other neoplastic disease. The descriptive statistics of GSRS subscales which consisted of reflux, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea and constipation were evaluated. The SF-12 questionnaire was used to evaluate the criterion-related validity. The correlation between GSRS score and operative procedure, body mass index, serum albumin level or findings of gastrointestinal endoscopy were analyzed to evaluate the known-group validation. <b>Result:</b> Valid responses were collected from 325 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal surgery. All GSRS subscale scores showed strong floor effects; the distribution was biased near the bottom. The correlation coefficients between these subscales and 3 component summary scores of SF-12 were just less than 0.30 except for correlation of abdominal pain and the mental component score (0.314). The abdominal pain score in the low BMI (<18 kg/m²) group was significantly high, however, no correlation were seen in between other subscale scores and other indicators, including operative procedure, serum albumin level or findings of gastrointestinal endoscopy. <b>Conclusion:</b> The use of GSRS for evaluation of postoperative patients was not validated in this study. GSRS score was not an appropriate outcome to evaluate postoperative disorder following upper gastrointestinal surgery.

The purpose of this study was to compare the methods of detecting differential item functioning (DIF). We compared the parametric method which is executed by DIF command in BILOG-MG, and nonparametric method which is executed by SIBTEST. In the first study, we researched by simulation data. When the ratio with DIF item to all the items exceeds 50%, it was difficult to detect DIF correctly in both procedures. In second study, the real data, which is used scale for acquisition of Japanese word meanings, was researched. In both BILOG-MG and SIBTEST, the results of detection of DIF were approximately similar. However, estimated location parameters in BILOG-MG were very extreme, because latent distributional differences were very large between reference group and focal group.
