Item-to-scale correlations were good with most items highly correlated with their hypothesized scales. Convergent and divergent construct validities were supported by the presence of hypothesized correlations between the HQLQ and the EQ-5D domains (eight of 10 sub-hypotheses for convergent construct validity and all hypotheses for divergent construct validity were fulfilled). In conclusion, our results showed that the culturally adapted HQLQ has good validity and reliability, making it a potentially useful outcome measure in the evaluation of HBV patients in Singapore.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:40:59 AEDT ]]> Reliability and validity of a Chinese version's health-related quality of life questionnaire for Hepatitis B patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11522 0.7).

Conclusions: The SQLS psychosocial and symptoms/side effects scales are valid, reliable and responsive in Singaporean patients with schizophrenia; the appropriateness of energy/motivation scale requires further investigation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:10 AEDT ]]>
