|
The study was performed to determine the reliability and validity of the ¡®Qi Blood Yin Yang Deficiency Questionnaire (Qi Blood Yin Yang DQ)¡¯ for the 100 subjects with chronic fatigue. After 100 subjects respond to the ¡®Qi Blood Yin Yang DQ¡¯, Korean medical doctor classified the subjects into 4 groups such as Qi deficiency group, Blood deficiency group, Yin deficiency group and Yang deficiency group. 100 subjects were retested in the same way after 3 weeks. The reliability and the validity of the questionnaire were inspected. Internal consistency of the ¡®Qi Blood Yin Yang DQ¡¯ was excellent (Cronbach alpha 0.916). Test-retest reliability was good (intra-class correlation coefficient 0.699). Construct validity analyzed by exploratory factor analysis produced 4 factors, which were selected from eigenvalues that are greater than 1.0. The ¡®Qi Blood Yin Yang DQ¡¯ consisted of 4 factors. The factor 1, 2, 3 and 4 showed ¡®Qi deficiency¡¯, ¡®Yin deficiency¡¯, ¡®Yang deficiency¡¯ and ¡®Blood deficiency¡¯ respectively. The ¡®Qi Blood Yin Yang DQ¡¯ restructured in this study may provide a fundamental questionnaire and a further study is required for a more advanced, standardized and statistically proven questionnaire.
