numerical measurement scales and predetermined set of questions used to collect data, clinical, socioeconomic, functional etc (adapted from Woncadic)échelles de mesure numériques et ensemble prédéterminé de questions utilisées pour recueillir des données cliniques, socio-économiques, fonctionnelle, etc. (adapté de Woncadic)Q-Code conceptual content
Behavior Rating Scale ; Instrument designed to assess human or animal behavior, using a standardized format. (MeSH2016)Behavior Rating Scale ; Instrument designed to assess human or animal behavior, using a standardized format.(MeSH)COMPOSITE SCALE ; (Syn. INDEX) a way of ordering characteristics or data by a value, a number, or a count, derived from different scales that are by themselves ordered in a nominal way, e.g. Apgar Score, Sickness Impact Profile. (Woncadic)Epidemiologic Measurements ; Statistical calculations on the occurrence of disease or other health-related conditions in defined populations.(MeSH)LIKERT SCALE ; a scale evaluated and scored according to the method of summated ratings in which items are summed or averaged to obtain an overall score (Woncadic)Memory and Learning Tests ; Tests designed to evaluate general and specific areas of behaviors and abilities associated with memory and/or learning.(MeSH 2018)Mental Status and Dementia Tests . Tests designed to assess various aspects of neurocognitive function and/or dementia. (MeSH 2018)OUTCOME MEASURES ; can be generic or disease-specific. Most measures require the assessment by the patient. Examples of generic instruments are: Dartmouth COOP/WONCA charts, the Duke-UNC Health Profile (DUHP), the Duke Health Profile (DUKE), the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) and the SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36). Examples of disease-specific measures are: The Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale (AIMS) and the Functional Living Index: Cancer (FLIC).(Woncadic)Patient Health Questionnaire ; A self-administered version of the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD), a diagnostic tool containing modules on multiple mental health disorders including anxiety, alcohol, eating, and somatoform modules. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is designed specifically for mood/depression scoring each of the 9 DSM-IV criteria based on the mood module from the original PRIME-MD. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) scores 7 common anxiety symptoms.(MeSH 208)Psychiatric Status Rating Scales ; Standardized procedures utilizing rating scales or interview schedules carried out by health personnel for evaluating the degree of mental illness.(MeSH)QUESTIONNAIRE a predetermined set of questions used to collect data, clinical, socioeconomical, functional etc.(Woncadic)Questionnaires ; Predetermined sets of questions used to collect data - clinical data, social status, occupational group, etc. The term is often applied to a self-completed survey instrument.(MeSH)QUESTIONS can be classified according to the type of answers they provoke. 1. Closed questions give a choice between a restricted number of defined answers like "Yes", "No",or "I do not know". Useful in the consultation when the physician wants specific information. 2. Divergent questions lead to new topics rather than continuing to elicit information about the topic which is discussed. Are often disturbing for the patient and ensure that the physician remains in control. 3. Open-ended questions invite the person asked to tell his story with few restrictions. A very useful type of question at the beginning of a consultation. It may be phrased something like, "Please tell me about..." 4. Probing questions ask for more specific information about the matter discussed and further investigate answers. 5. Leading questions direct the reply in such a way, that it is difficult for the person asked not to follow the lead e.g. "You donSCALES OF MEASUREMENT ; the mathematical qualities of numerical measurement scales vary and are of four main types. 1. Nominal scales. Numbers are assigned arbitrarily with no implication of an inherent order to their categories, as in telephone numbers. Such scales may only be used as classifications; no statistical analyses may be carried out that use the numerical characteristics of the scale. 2. Ordinal scales. Classification into a scale that implies a distinct order among the categories (such as house numbers on a street), but where there is no natural assumption concerning the relative distance between adjacent values. Statistical methods such as rank order correlations may be used. 3. Interval scales. Interval scales are so named because the distance between numbers in one region of the scale is assumed to be equal to the distance between numbers in another region of the scale (as in Fahrenheit or Celsius scales). Addition and subtraction are permissible, but not multiplication or division of such scales. Statistical analyses such as the Pearson correlation, factor analysis or discriminant analysis may use interval scales. 4. Ratio scales. A ratio scale is an interval scale with a true zero point, so that ratios between values are meaningfully defined. Examples include weight, height, and income, as in each case it is meaningful to speak of one value being so many times greater or less than another value. All arithmetical operations, including multiplication and division, may be applied, and all types of statistical analysis may be used. (Woncadic)Sickness Impact Profile ; A quality-of-life scale developed in the United States in 1972 as a measure of health status or dysfunction generated by a disease. It is a behaviorally based questionnaire for patients and addresses activities such as sleep and rest, mobility, recreation, home management, emotional behavior, social interaction, and the like. It measures the patient's perceived health status and is sensitive enough to detect changes or differences in health status occurring over time or between groups. (From Medical Care, vol.xix, no.8, August 1981, p.787-805)(MeSH)The questionnaire is the main instrument for collecting data in survey research. Basically, it is a set of standardized questions, often called items , which follow a fixed scheme in order to collect individual data about one or more specific topics. Sometimes questionnaires are confused with interviews. In fact, the questionnaire involves a particular kind of interview—a formal contact, in which the conversation is governed by the wording and order of questions in the instrument. The questionnaire often is administered in a standardized fashion, that is, in the same way to all the respondents of the survey (Trobia 2008 Sage)VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE ; a method for obtaining a response to a question by getting the respondent mark a labelled line to reflect the distance from the endpoints.
