本研究的目的是探討貝萊嬰兒發展量表在高雄地區的適用性,此量表的最主要用途在於診斷發展遲緩與擬定治療計畫,由於此量表具備良好的標準化與統計特性,是目前最好的嬰兒發展測量工具。高雄醫學大學附設中和紀念醫院發展遲緩鑑定中心的544位個案參與本研究。研究結果發現:(1)內部一致性係數(A)介.95至.99,高於BSID-II手冊的數值。(2)重製係數介於.9503至.9633,會因施測者而不同,但仍顯示是一良的發展量表。(3)測量標準誤介於2.8589至3.8206之間,由於本研究的樣本是局限於發展遲緩鑑定中心的樣本,故比BSID-II適用於高雄地區,是一信度良好的發展測量工具。本研究進一討論應建立發展遲緩的特殊常模及施測品質的問題。
The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of BSID-II in diagnosing children with developmental delay in Kaohsuing area. Five hundred and forty-four children, all who were patients of Developmental Delay Clinic of Kaohsuing Medical University, participated in this study. The instrument of this study was the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-second edition (BSID-II), the primary value of which was in diagnosing developmental delay and planning intervention strategies. The standardization and statistical properties of BSIDII made it one of the best measures of infant development available. The findings as follows: (1) the alpha coefficients were between .95 and .99, which were higher than data on manual of BSID-II; (2) the reproducibilities, which were different with each examiner, were between .9503 and .9633, that were good enough higher than data on manual of BSID-II; (2) the reproducibilities, which were different with each examiner, were between .9503 and .9633, that were good enough to be a developmental scale; (3) Standard Errors of Measurement were between 2.8589 and 3.8206. It was a restricted sample so that these also were lower than the data on manual of BSID-II. This evidence shows BSID-II is a highly reliable instrument of developmental assessment at Kaohsuing area. A special norm for developmentally delayed children and quality control of examiners are suggested..
