The within-subject standard deviation or within-people mean square residual was calculated using ANOVA (the F-test in SPSS’s Scales module was used). The least significant change between the two tests was calculated using within-subject standard deviation multiplied by the \sqrt{2} and 1.96, ...
The rotated matrix of the factors after Varimax rotation shows the factors in a clearer form of the variables. The rotation was able to more reliably separate the structures and make the interpretation much easier. In Table 4, each row represents a question, for example, the first row is ...
To evaluate the feasibility of evaluating CDR using the patient’s medical record, the duration of evaluation of the CDR (in minutes) was compared between the methods of assessment using paired t-test. The proportions of evaluation of the CDR scale using the patient’s medical records were desc...
All data were analysed using SPSS Statistics version 27.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY USA) and R version 4.1.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to determine whether the quantitative data followed a normal distribution; it showed that t...
(the reliability levels obtained in this test are the ones to be presented in all reports of the project). This sample must also be selected using a random or other justifiable procedure. The appropriate size of the sample depends on may factors but it should not be less than 50 units or...
The validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the TAI in northern and western China need further study. Second, we choose two tools to test the validity of the Chinese TAI. More research should use other tools to better understand the characteristics and strengths, as well as ...
As both measurement error and between-participant variability are important for the interpretation of reliability, we also report the standard error of measurement (SEM) for each variable. The SEM is the square root of the error variance term in the ICC calculation and reflects the 68% confidenc...
The Kai-Suan Psychiatric Hospital had no further role in study design, collection, analysis and interpretation of data, composition of the report, or the decision to submit the paper for publication. We also thank the patients who generously agreed to participate in this clinical study....
Psychoactive drug use is an important public health issue in Sri Lanka as it causes substantial health, social and economic burden to the country. Screening for substance use disorders in people who use drugs is vital in preventive health care, as it can
However, several limitations should be considered in the interpretation of the findings. Due to the fact that the pedometer provides only total steps for 24 h and was insensitive to inactive physical activity, the criterion validity of certain subdomains of APAFOP-C was not sufficient to the requ...
