Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to develop a questionnaire that can be used for the evaluation of drug-related changes of appetite and eating behavior (Drug-Related Eating Behavior Questionnaire：DR-EBQ) and test the psychometric properties of the questionnaire in patients receiving antipsychotics. Each item of the questionnaire was composed based on previous researches, theoretical hypotheses and clinical experiences. DREBQ was administered to sixty out patients with psychotic disorder. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of each item were evaluated. Convergent validity and factor structures of the questionnaire were also analyzed. The results suggest that DR-EBQ is an adequate tool reliably measuring the specific nature and severities of antipsychotics-related changes of appetite and eating behavior. This questionnaire could be widely used in clinical practices and psychopharmacologic researches.
