Correction to: The reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the daily record of severity of problems (J-DRSP) and development of a short-form version (J-DRSP (SF)) to assess symptoms of premenstrual syndrome among Japanese women

Abstract Purpose To assess the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Daily Record of Severity of Problems (J-DRSP, 24 items) for evaluating symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and to develop a short form version of the J-DRSP. Methods Using the “DRSP-JAPAN” smartphone app, we collected daily J-DRSP records from 7 days before to 10 days after each participant’s menstruation onset date. Factorial validity (exploratory factor analysis: EFA, confirmatory factor analysis: CFA) and criterion validity were examined. We evaluated test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation: ICC) and obtained Cronbach's alpha coefficients. The short-form version of the J-DRSP was developed using classical test theory. Results In total, 304 women participated and 243 recorded symptoms on at least 4 days spanning the week of the luteal phase (CD-6 to CD0) and 4 days spanning the week of the follicular phase (CD4 to CD10), with CD1 representing the menstruation onset date. With CD0 set as one day before menstruation onset date, the EFA revealed a two-factor structure. KMO was 0.992, and Bartlett's test of sphericity chi-square was 3653.89 (P < 0.001). However, the model fitness of CFA was found to be suboptimal (CFI: 0.83, RMSEA: 0.12). Total scores for J-DRSP and the sum scores for each subscale were higher on CD10 than on CD0 (p < 0.001), suggesting validity for some criteria. ICC values for the total J-DRSP score from CD0 to CD-1, and between CD9 to CD-10, were 0.60 (95% CI: 0.48–0.72) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.69–0.82), respectively. For participants reporting significant interference in their daily life one day out of CD-1 and CD0 or CD9 and CD10, ICCs were 0.79 (0.68–0.86) among 76 participants and 0.88 (0.76–0.84) among 30 participants. Having eliminated some original items after considering factor loading for each item, we developed an 8-item Short-Form J-DRSP (J-DRSP(SF)) comprising 2 factors (S-Psychological and S-Physical, 4 items for each). CFA showed a better model fit (CFI: 0.99, RMSEA: 0.048) with significantly higher scores for the J-DRSP(SF), S-Psychological, and S-Physical in the luteal phase than in the follicular phase (p < 0.001). Cronbach's alphas for the J-DRSP(SF), S-Psychological, and S-Physical were 0.89, 0.89, and 0.80, respectively. ICC values for the J-DRSP(SF) in the luteal and follicular phases were 0.61 (95%CI: 0.51–0.68) and 0.70 (95%CI: 0.62–0.77), respectively. Conclusion The J-DRSP has moderate to good reliability and certain level of validity. The J-DRSP(SF) has a two-factor structure and can be used effectively among Japanese women to assess their PMS symptoms.

Abstract Purpose To assess the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Daily Record of Severity of Problems (J-DRSP, 24 items) for evaluating symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and to develop a short form version of the J-DRSP. Methods Using the “DRSP-JAPAN” smartphone app, we collected daily J-DRSP records from cycle day − 6 (CD − 6) to CD 10, with CD 1 representing the menstruation onset date. Factorial validity (exploratory factor analysis: EFA, confirmatory factor analysis: CFA) and criterion validity were examined, and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation: ICC) evaluated. The short-form version of the J-DRSP was developed using classical test theory. Results In total, 304 women participated and 243 recorded symptoms on at least 4 days spanning the week of the luteal phase (CD − 6 to CD 0) and 4 days spanning the week of the follicular phase (CD 4 to CD 10), with CD 0 set as the day before menstruation started. The EFA revealed a two-factor structure. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin was 0.992, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity chi-square was 3653.89 (P < 0.001). However, the model fitness of CFA was found to be suboptimal (comparative fit index (CFI): 0.83, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA): 0.12). Total scores for J-DRSP and the sum scores for each subscale were higher on CD 0 than on CD 10 (p < 0.001), suggesting validity for some criteria. ICC values for the total J-DRSP score from CD 0 to CD − 1, and between CD 9 to CD 10, were 0.60 (95% CI: 0.48–0.72) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.69–0.82), respectively. Having eliminated some original items after considering factor loading for each item, we developed an 8-item Short-Form J-DRSP (J-DRSP (SF)) comprising 2 factors (S-Psychological and S-Physical, 4 items for each).

Test Retest Reliability

The reliability and the validity of a Japanese version of the short-form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised were examined for 329 college students and 253 adults. Coefficient alpha reliabilities for the four scales (Psychoticism, Extraversion/Introversion, Neuroticism, and Lie) were greater than 0.71 except for Psychoticism. Test-retest reliability of the four scales over 6 months ranged from 0.70 to 0.85, indicating a substantial stability. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the original theoretical structure of the four personality dimensions as proposed by Eysenck, Eysenck, and Barrett in 1985. Concurrent validity of the revised short-form was evaluated through the comparison of the four scores with the scores on the Maudsley Personality Inventory and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Over-all, the Japanese version of the revised short-form appears to be comparable to the original English version and would be useful for measuring personality in a wide range of settings.

Posttraumatic Growth Inventory

Abstract Background The 10-item short form of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-SF) has been utilized worldwide. However, there is no Japanese version. Furthermore, the PTGI-SF does not capture a broader category of existential spiritual growth that has been incorporated in the more recent Expanded version of the PTG Inventory (PTGI-X). Thus, we developed a Japanese version of the Short Form (PTGI-X-SF-J), which reflects more diverse perspectives on existential and spiritual growth. Methods A cross-sectional study using questionnaires was conducted in Japan. The first sample consisted of 408 university students, and the second sample comprised 284 university students. Exploratory factor analysis was performed using data from the first sample. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, and reliability and validity were confirmed using the second sample. Results The PTGI-X-SF-J is composed of 10 items including two items from each of the five subscales of the PTGI-X, similar to the original version of the PTGI-SF, and this model fits the data well. Items concerning existential/spiritual change in the PTGI-X-SF-J were “I feel more connected with all of existence” and “I have a greater sense of harmony with the world,” which were not included in the original PTGI-SF. The score of the PTGI-X-SF-J was significantly correlated with the scores of the Core Beliefs Inventory and the Event Related Rumination Inventory-Deliberate; however, no correlation was observed with the scores of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5. Conclusions We developed the PTGI-X-SF-J using 10 items to measure PTG among people whose first language is Japanese and confirmed its factor structure, reliability, and validity. The PTGI-X-SF-J is useful for assessing PTG more efficiently and accurately as it considers more diverse spiritual/existential experiences of personal growth and reduces physical and psychological burdens due to its brevity.
