Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to compared Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) anxiety, depression, and anger item bank among Korean, US and Dutch general population.
Methods
Between December 2021 and January 2022, we surveyed representative Korean participants (N = 2699). Then we compared the mean T-scores of PROMIS anxiety, depression, and anger full items bank among Korean, US (N = 1696) and the Dutch (N = 1002) populations. Differential item-functioning (DIF) analyses were also performed. We also compared each score by age group, sex, presence of comorbidities, and general health status.
Results
In Korean, the mean T-scores for anxiety, depression, and anger were 45.3 (standard deviation [SD] = 11.6), 48.4 (SD = 11.2), and 44.9 (SD = 12.6), respectively. Among the general population in Korea, patients aged 35–44 years and those with comorbidities had higher anxiety, depression, and anger scores. In the DIF analyses between the US and Korean populations, 28%, 32%, and 45% were flagged for uniform or non-uniform DIF in anxiety, depression and anger, respectively.
Conclusions
Considering the cultural differences, we recommend using a harmonized approach that includes country-specific reference values while retaining a standardized core set of items to enable cross-country comparability.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR) publishes high-standard original research of a technical, methodological, experimental and clinical nature, contributing to the theory, methodology, practice and evaluation of mental and behavioural disorders. The journal targets in particular detailed methodological and design papers from major national and international multicentre studies. There is a close working relationship with the US National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Diagnostic Instruments Committees, as well as several other European and international organisations.
MPR aims to publish rapidly articles of highest methodological quality in such areas as epidemiology, biostatistics, generics, psychopharmacology, psychology and the neurosciences. Articles informing about innovative and critical methodological, statistical and clinical issues, including nosology, can be submitted as regular papers and brief reports. Reviews are only occasionally accepted.
MPR seeks to monitor, discuss, influence and improve the standards of mental health and behavioral neuroscience research by providing a platform for rapid publication of outstanding contributions. As a quarterly journal MPR is a major source of information and ideas and is an important medium for students, clinicians and researchers in psychiatry, clinical psychology, epidemiology and the allied disciplines in the mental health field.
