目的:酒精依賴嚴重度問卷是評估酒精依賴嚴重程度之問卷,本研究的目的是對中文版酒精依賴嚴重度問卷做內在一致性及因素分析。方法:共113位診斷為酒精依賴的男性病患完成中文版酒精依賴嚴重度問卷並評分。內在一致性以Chronbach's α 表示;以主成分分析就除了酒精使用問題以外之中文版酒精依賴嚴重度問卷進行因素分析。結果:中文版酒精依賴嚴重度問卷的Chronbach's α為0.92代表內在一致性很高。因素分析產生四個主要因素,分別是緩解戒斷症狀的飲酒、情緒戒斷症狀、身體戒斷症狀及戒斷後復飲的戒斷症狀。結論:中文版酒精依賴嚴重度問卷是可信的工具,可做為男性酒精依賴者嚴重度及治療成效之評估。
Objective: The Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ) is a self-report questionnaire to evaluate the severity of alcohol dependence. In this study, we analyzed internal consistency and factor structure of the Chinese-version of the SADQ (SADQ-C) in patients with alcohol dependence. Methods: We recruited 113 male patients with alcohol dependence to complete the SADQ-C. Internal consistency was expressed by Chronbach's α. We did factor analysis using principal component analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation for the SADQ-C excluding the alcohol consumption section. Results: The internal consistency was very high with Chronbach's α of 0.92. PCA shows four principal components, i.e. withdrawal relief drinking, affective withdrawal signs, physical withdrawal signs, and reinstatement of withdrawal symptoms following abstinence. Conclusion: The SADQ-C is a reliable instrument for alcohol dependence severity assessment in Taiwan and it can be used to monitor the treatment outcome in male patients with alcohol dependence.
