Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the questionnaire of pattern identification
(PI) in traditional chinese medicine (TCM), through the systematic review of china national knowledge infrastructure
(CNKI) database. We searched the articles related with reliability and validity of the questionnaire of PI and published
from January 1994 to December 2013. Seventeen questionnaires were analyzed in this study. The twelve (70.6%)
questionnaires were developed on the base of specific disease, and five (29.4%) ones were developed on the base of
non-specific disease. Three of PI questionnaires showed low inter-item consistency reliability. Exploratory factor
analysis of construct validity, content validity, and criterion validity analysis were commonly used on the assessment
of validity, but none of them was analysed at the same study. There was only one questionnaire of the ischemic
stroke that examined the sensitivity and specificity of both training and test groups in spite of the absence of a gold
standard.
