Process of translation and adaptation of instruments

Process of translation and adaptation of instruments

這居然有中文網頁,不過當然是簡體版。

量表中文化之翻譯與反翻譯translation & back-translation的過程。
  • Forward translation:強調概念,非直譯。以一般民眾可接受的語言;千萬別請教專家,別用術語與俗話。
  • Expert panel Back-translation:(1)專家小組。找一個召集,組成小組(須包含原翻譯的人員),針對有疑義之處,進行澄清。(2)由一位母語為英語的翻譯人士,進行反翻譯,一樣是概念性翻譯與文化對等,非直譯。
  • Pre-testing and cognitive interviewing:預測。找尋目標族群,進行問卷理解。
  • Final version
我的天啊,一定要麼麻煩嗎?
我在想,若自病人自評,是有需要這麼麻煩;但,若是工作人員評分,不能直接就用原文版嗎。像是PSP。如果,我們不是用PSP中文版,而是用PSP原文版,這樣發表文章到底算甚麼。


Back-translation of social cognition measures 
To develop a Japanese version of the SCSQ, professionals specializing in mental health translated the original SCSQ from English to Japanese. Afterward, a person isolated from the first group of translators performed a back-translation. Modifications of some terms were made to fit local culture. We performed the same procedure for the Hinting Task and the AIHQ. All back-translations were supervised and approved by one of the persons who developed the tests.

AMOS CFA of rSFST-27

就已經是一步驟一步驟跟著做,居然二階還是做不出來。是著魔了嗎?


1. 打開AMOS的外掛套件 Plugins/Pattern Matrix Model Builder。
(講清楚有多少潛在購面,以及有多少題目在這個潛在購面。)
2. 使用excel製作架構圖。ex: rSFST有6個subdomains,有各自的題目。通常一個潛在購面約3-5題。
3. 11:35輸入data file//Select data file(s)/於file name中,選擇已建置的SPSS檔案。
4. 讀到檔案後,再開啟Plugins/Pattern Matrix Model Builder,excel已建置的架構圖,貼入Pattern Matrix Input。就可以Create Diagram。
5. 13:00 放大,希望subdomains放大,所以使用【change the shape】,選取所有subdomains,再一起用放大。
6. subdomains裡面的字要放大:選擇Object Property/Test/Font size。
7. 15:45 參數1的設定(標準化)。將參數1去除。CFA主要做信效度的檢驗;SEM主要是探討因果關係。(再澄清一下,參考值得設定)
8. 在analysis中的output,除了原本的Mini???, 還需勾選第2個 Stand?? estimates。主要是用來判斷要多少loading才要留著。
9. no valid license for Amos was found (11, 0).  這是因為這個外掛有問題。這是可以解決的:關掉後再開就好了。

10. 22:00 結果有兩個重點:在estimates/scales/variances: (1) 所有的e(誤差項),其estimates要為正值。因為這是變異數,是一種平方,當然要是正值。(2) 所有的e,其SE要越小越好。SE是標準誤,所以我們需要逐一檢查,千萬不要有SE很大的情形。 最後,誤差一定要達顯著;凡測量一定有誤差,所以要顯著,才正常。
11. standar?? Regression Weight: 其estimates可看每個item的loading。
12. model fit: CMIN/DF, GFI, AGFI, CFI
13. analysis/ output/ 下面有Modification indices, 修模用。26:00 隔壁的數值,因為卡方值約5000多,所以先設100。(這個不太了解,為什麼要這樣設定?)  存檔後,再計算一次,然後看報表。
14. 原來設定100,標準太高;改設50後,從新計算;終於在MI處,見到有可以刪除的建議了。28:26 發現e60與e61有相關,那麼兩種做法(1)拉相關, (2)刪除其中一個。(目前,第2種常用)。
15. 太多題;決定先把loading<0.5先全數刪除。直接在圖形上面刪除,連誤差e也要一起刪除。刪完後,另存新檔(M1) 34:00,這樣就有每次刪除的紀錄。最後是M22。

Title: The test-retest reliability and practice effects of the Ruff 2 & 7 Selective Attention Test in patients with schizophrenia

Introduction: Sustained attention is referred to individuals to maintain concentration at a cognitive activity with repeat stimuli; selective attention is the ability to focus something particular while neglecting distractors in activity context. Attention deficits are a crucial feature of cognitive impairments in patients with schizophrenia. All impaired sustained or selective attention will affect the daily performance of schizophrenia. The Ruff 2 & 7 Selective Attention Test (2 & 7 Test) assesses sustained and selective attention with automatic detection (AD) and controlled search (CS) trials. However, test-retest reliability and practice effects of the 2 & 7 Test are unknown in patients with schizophrenia. The test-retest reliability of the 2 & 7 Test is helpful to determine whether repeated measures are reproducible.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the test-retest reliability and practice effects between two successive assessments of the 2 & 7 Test in patients with schizophrenia.
Method: Inpatients with schizophrenia at chronic wards of a psychiatric hospital were recruited in the test-retest design study with a 2-week interval. Intraclass correlation coefficient was used for test-retest reliability. Paired t test was used for significance of practice effects; Cohen’s d for the magnitude of practice effects.
Results: Sixty-two inpatients with schizophrenia participated in our study and most of the 62 participants were male (59.7%). The duration of onset was about 24 on average (mean ± SD = 23.8 ± 10.2). Table 1 shows further characteristics of the participants. For sustained attention, the test-retest correlations of the total speed and accuracy scores were 0.95 and 0.84, respectively. For selective attention, the test-retest correlations of the speed/accuracy of AD and CS were 0.91/0.82 and 0.93/0.86, respectively. The paired t test of most mean scores were significant, except for AD accuracy; Cohen’s d ranged from 0.10 to 0.36 for all scores.
Conclusion: In general, the 2 & 7 Test showed good test-retest reliability and acceptable random measurement error. Small practice effects occurred across two successive tests. Practice effects must be taken into consideration for interpretation an individual change of a 2-week interval in clinical settings.

Introduction of Ruff 2 & 7 selective test


Introduction
Attention deficit is one of common cognitive impairments in patients with schizophrenia. (Bortolato, F Carvalho, & S McIntyre, 2014). Attention is a specific mental function including focused attention, sustain attention, selective attention, alertness, and divided attention (AOTA, 2014; Golisz & Toglia, 2003; Yu et al., 2015). Among them, selective attention is the ability to focus something particular while neglecting distractors in activity context (Ettinger et al., 2015); and sustain attention is refer to individuals to maintain concentration at cognitive activity with repeat stimuli (Sarter, Givens, & Bruno, 2001). All impaired selective attention or sustain attention will affect daily performance of schizophrenia (Shi K. Liu et al., 2002). Thus, attention measurements used in schizophrenia evaluation accurately is important in screening referral, planning intervention, monitoring progress, and so on.
The Ruff 2 & 7 Selective Attention Test (2 & 7 test) (Ronald M Ruff & Allen, 1996) was developed to assess selective attention and sustain attention in adolescents and adults (16-70yrs). The 2 & 7 test, a kind of paper-and-pencil cancellation test, consists a series of 20 sets: 10 Automatic Detection (AD) trials and 10 Controlled Search (CS) trials. Each trial take individual 15 seconds and the total administration time is 5 minutes per test. After finishing the 2 & 7 test, the administrator has to count the raw sore, including the hits and errors of 20 trials, and then tabulates these scores to speed and accuracy score. In clinical practice, some literature indicate that the 2 & 7 test is ideal tool to be used in quick bedside evaluation because of its convenience and low cost (R. Ruff, 2017).
The 2 & 7 test has good psychometric properties in normal population (Messinis et al., 2007; R. Ruff, 2017; Ronald M Ruff & Allen, 1996). In addition, there are also different clinical populations evaluated by the 2 & 7 test in some research literatures (Lan, Tsai, & Tan, 2011; R. Ruff, 2017; Ronald M. Ruff, 1994; Ronald M. Ruff, Niemann, Allen, Farrow, & Wylie, 1992). However, the test-retest reliability and practice effects of the 2 & 7 test are still unknown in patients with schizophrenia so that the assessment results will affect clinical intervention. Thus, we aim to assess the test-rest reliability and practice effect of the 2 & 7 test in schizophrenia.
