The purpose of this study is to examine validity to Soeum scales by QSCCII. For this study, the objects are 336 patients who were made a diagnosis of Soeurnin and 422 patients of other constitutions in Oriental Medicine & Western Medicine Cooperative Health Examination Center KyungHee University Medical Center.
A systematic analysis has been made and the results are as follows.
1. We made a frequency analysis in 758 examinees´ questions and concluded that 35 questions, among which 30 questions were existing and 5 were new, had statistical significance in making a diagnosis of Soeumm by more than 10% in comparison with answer frequency of other constitutions.
2. Because confidence coefficient of 0.8011 revised Soeum scales(35) rises up as compared with that of 0.6319 existing Soeum scales(51), I think revised Soeum scales reflect trait of Soeumin well and it is liable to shorten question time by controling questions.
3. Soeumin´s discrimination probability in Soeumin was 55.4% by QSCCII, but that rises up to 64.3% by discritninant function made by revised Soeum scales. So there is´statistical significance in discriminant function.
4. When questions in QSCCII are divided into body-spirit({lR ,JR), looks-artitude(MAS), temper- talentAN I*), contmuow mind(ga,O), avarice(,&ft physiological symptoms(tAlYj M and pathological symptoms( ) 9), response frequency and constitution discrimination probability falls in questions about avarice and pathological symptoms.
