Introduction and aimsSome theory and empirical-driven classification systems of disgust have stimulated the creation of several self-report instruments for the assessment of disgust sensitivity [e.g., the Disgust Scale-Reviesed (DS-R,Haidt et al., 1994) and the Disgust Propensity and Sensitivity Scale-Revised (DPSS-R; van Overveld et al., 2006;Sandín et al., 2008)]. Two main problems of current self-report scales of disgust are that(a)there is not a consensus about the domains of disgust to be assessed, and(b)all self-report scales were developed in the Anglo-Saxon culture.Given the particular relationship of disgust to the individual's culture, it is desirable to construct self-report instruments based in other cultures.The aim of this work was to develop a new self-report instrument based in a Spanish-speaking population.MethodThe 11 domains (see Sandín et al.) in which Spanish people experience disgust served to define a broad range of disgust elicitors in our Cuestionario de Sensibilidad al Asco (CSA) [Disgust Sensitivity Questionnaire]. The initial questionnaire (92 items) was given to a sample of undergraduates at Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia. Based on factor and item analysis, sixty-two items were finally retained.ResultsExploratory factor analysis of the 62 CSA items revealed a robust eleven-factor structure, describing the following 9 dimensions of disgust: hygiene, socio-moral, sex, envelop violations/death,animals, disease,atypical food, animal decomposition, and unacceptable food. Internal consistency (alpha coeffients and corrected item-total correlations) was excellent.ConclusionsFindings suggest that the CSA is a promising new measure of disgust. The CSA demonstrated excellent factorial validity and reliability.

ObjectiveTo develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale measuring patient safety during the intrahospital transport process for intensive care.DesignThe scale was developed based on a theoretical model of the work system and patient safety, and items generated from participant observations. A Delphi study with international experts was used to establish content validity. Next, a cross-sectional study was undertaken to inform item reduction and evaluate construct validity and internal consistency.SettingThe questionnaire was distributed to healthcare practitioners at 12 intensive care units in Sweden.ParticipantsA total of 315 questionnaires were completed. Eligible participants were healthcare practitioners in the included units that performed an intrahospital transport during the study period. Inclusion criteria were (1) transports of patients within the hospital to undergo an examination or intervention, and (2) transports performed by staff from the intensive care unit. We excluded transports to a step-down unit or hospital ward.Outcome measuresPsychometric evaluation, including item analysis, validity and reliability testing.ResultsItems were reduced from 55 to 24, informed by distributional statistics, initial reliabilities, factor loadings and communalities. The final factor model consisted of five factors, accounting for 59% of variance. All items loaded significantly on only one factor (>0.35). The original conceptual model of teamwork, transport-related tasks, tools and technologies, environment, and organisation was maintained with regrouping of items. Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.72 to 0.82 for each subscale (ie, factor).ConclusionsThe present study provides a self-report questionnaire to assess patient safety during intrahospital transport of patients in intensive care. The results indicate acceptable validity and reliability of the scale among a sample of Swedish healthcare practitioners. If further confirmatory testing supports the present results, this scale could be a useful tool to better understand safety prerequisites and improve clinical practice.

Abstract Background: Approximately 30% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) require caregiving, with unknown prevalence of abuse and neglect. To explore these issues, we created the Scale to Report Emotional Stress Signs–Multiple Sclerosis (STRESS-MS). The objective was to develop, validate, and field-test a self-report questionnaire for screening people with MS for mistreatment. Methods: We developed the STRESS-MS questionnaire and administered it to 102 adults with advanced MS-related disability and 97 primary informal caregivers, correlating responses with direct observation of mistreatment, conducting an item analysis, and evaluating validity using a Longitudinal, Expert, All Data (LEAD) panel. Results: Most STRESS-MS subscales correlated highly with criterion-standard LEAD panel evaluations of mistreatment, with strong concurrent and discriminant validity. Nearly 53% of participants with MS reported experiencing psychological abuse; 9.8%, financial exploitation; 6.9%, physical abuse; 4.9%, neglect; and 3.9%, sexual abuse. Protective factors for people with MS included social support and older age; risk factors included depression and aggressiveness. The greatest risk factor was an informal caregiver who spent 20 or more hours per week caring for the person with MS. Conclusions: The STRESS-MS questionnaire is reasonably reliable and valid for detecting caregiver mistreatment in adults with MS. Although most informal caregivers are not abusive, this study highlights an underrecognized need to detect and prevent abuse and neglect of people with MS.

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a self-report scale for assessing perceived driver competence, labeled the Self-Efficacy Scale for Driver Competence (SSDC), using item response theory analyses. Two samples of Swedish driving-license examinees (n = 795; n = 714) completed two versions of the SSDC that were parallel in content. Prior work, using classical test theory analyses, has provided support for the validity and reliability of scores from the SSDC. This study investigated the measurement precision, item hierarchy, and differential functioning for males and females of the items in the SSDC as well as how the rating scale functions. The results confirmed the previous findings; that the SSDC demonstrates sound psychometric properties. In addition, the findings showed that measurement precision could be increased by adding items that tap higher self-efficacy levels. Moreover, the rating scale can be improved by reducing the number of categories or by providing each category with a label.

This study aimed to develop an instrument for measuring the attitudes that reflect the characteristics of the pandemic (Adult Pandemic Attitude Scale (A-PAS)) and verifying its validity and reliability. This study used a methodological research design and was conducted with a development step and an evaluation step. The development step included development of preliminary items, content validity, face validity, and preliminary investigation. The evaluation step included item analysis, construct validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, criterion validity, factor naming, reliability, and completion of the final instrument. The A-PAS developed in this study consisted of a total of 20 items in five dimensions. The internal consistency of 20 items of the A-PAS, Cronbach’s α was 0.92 for 20 items, Cronbach’s α for each factor, a subscale of instrument, was 0.61~0.87 and Raykov’s p coefficient of each factor, which is a subscale of the tool, was found to be 0.60 to 0.88. Analysis of construct validity showed the results as follows: χ2 (p) = 134.05 (p < 0.001), RMSEA = 0.02, RMR = 0.02, GFI = 0.94, CFI = 0.99. The study findings suggest that the developed instrument can be utilized to measure the attitudes of adults toward pandemics, and reflect the reality of the pandemic situation. The outcomes can be used as valuable data for intervention, prevention activities, and policy preparation. The instrument will be applied in the event of a pandemic, such as COVID-19, and will be helpful in promoting the health of the people.

Impaired insight in patients with schizophrenia results in less satisfactory clinical outcomes. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between insight and individual psychopathological dimensions in inpatients with schizophrenia using a self-report questionnaire. In this study, 90 patients with schizophrenia aged 18–75 years admitted in the acute psychiatric ward of a medical center in Taiwan were enrolled. Patient insight was measured using the Self-Appraisal of Illness Questionnaire (SAIQ), and psychopathological dimensions were measured using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and its five-factor structure model. A higher SAIQ score indicates greater insight. In bivariate correlation analyses, statistically significant correlations were observed between age, single marital status, educational level, and positive, excited, and depressed symptom factor of the PANSS and SAIQ score. In regression analyses, age and excited and depressed symptom factors were significantly associated with SAIQ score. No significant association was observed between insight and neurocognitive functions. Considering demographic characteristics, psychopathology, and neurocognition, in the acute phase of schizophrenia, younger patients with less severe excited symptoms and more severe depressive symptoms had greater insight.

This study investigated the relationship of a gap between the intent to be physically active and actual participation in physical activity (‘intention–behavior gap’) and self-efficacy for physical activity during childhood. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect information from 946 children from the fourth and sixth grades in Japan on self-efficacy, intention, and physical activity. Children with an intention–behavior gap (high intent–low activity or low intent–high activity) had higher self-efficacy scores than those with low intent and low activity (27.66 or 27.65 vs. 21.69; p < .001). They had lower self-efficacy scores than those with high intent and high activity (27.66 or 27.65 vs. 30.56; p < .001). Children with an intention–behavior gap had lower self-efficacy for physical activity than those who intended to be and were physically active. Such children may benefit from education interventions that focus on improving self-efficacy.

The Relationship

HighlightsThe relationship of vibration and header loss was studied by multi-point vibration measurement and loss collection test.There was an approximately linear positive correlation between total header vibration and total rapeseed header loss.The header frame was analyzed and optimized through modal simulation and testing.The total rapeseed header loss of the improved header was reduced by 33.2% to 46.9%.Abstract. In view of the current large rapeseed header losses of rape combine harvesters, the effects of the header on rapeseed header loss were studied from the perspective of vibration. First, the vibrations at various measuring points on the header during rape harvest were studied using a data acquisition and analysis system while performing collection tests of rapeseed header loss with the sample slot method. The relationships between total header vibration and total rapeseed header loss and between vertical cutter vibration and rapeseed vertical cutter loss were shown to have a positive correlation, and they all increased with the increase in engine speed. Vertical cutter loss accounted for 31.2% to 42.4% of the total rapeseed header loss. Modal analysis and optimization of the header frame were then performed by simulation and test. The natural frequencies of the first-order and second-order modes of the optimized header were increased, and the possibility of resonance with other working parts was eliminated. Finally, the improved header was tested during rape harvest. The results showed that the total vibration of the improved header was reduced by 19.9% to 43.9%, and the total rapeseed header loss was reduced by 33.2% to 46.9%. The vertical cutter vibration was reduced by 30.5% to 49.8%, and the rapeseed vertical cutter loss was reduced by 20.8% to 34.7%. In addition, the vibration and rapeseed loss of the improved header had relatively slow rates of increase with the increase in engine speed. The method of reducing rapeseed loss by reducing the header vibration achieved an obvious and positive effect.
