Psychometric property of an instrument 4: reliability and responsiveness

Eun-Hyun Lee

Summary: When assessing test-retest reliability, the stability of the measured construct over time should be considered. In order to evaluate responsiveness, a longitudinal study design with a treatment/intervention known to induce change on the construct being measured is necessary.

Psychometric properties of an instrument 3: convergent, discriminant, known-groups, and criterion validity

Eun-Hyun Lee

Summary: Before evaluating the validity of a measurement instrument, it is important to design an instrument that reflects hypothetical relationships or differences with other comparator instruments or groups. For criterion validity, a gold-standard instrument measuring the same construct should be carefully selected.

Psychometric properties of an instrument 2: structural validity, internal consistency, and cross-cultural validity/measurement invariance

Eun-Hyun Lee

Summary: The passage discusses the psychometric properties of the internal structure of an instrument, including structural validity, internal consistency, and cross-cultural validity/measurement invariance. It highlights the methods used in Korean nursing journals to assess these properties, as well as recommending Korean nursing researchers to use a greater variety of methods to evaluate the internal structure of instruments.

Polysomnographic Sleep and Attentional Deficits in Traumatized North Korean Refugees

Jooyoung Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that North Korean refugees exhibited more errors and a larger standard deviation in reaction time in the sustained attention task, along with a shorter wake after sleep onset and less time in N1 stage of sleep. The larger standard deviation in reaction time was positively correlated with wake after sleep onset and N1 stage.

Torture Experiences and Mental Health Problems among Refugees: The Impact of Repatriation to North Korea on Mental Disorders

Minwoo Yun et al.

Summary: Forced repatriation experiences are significantly associated with psychological symptoms among North Korean refugees, with those who have experienced forced repatriation reporting more severe psychological symptoms as a result of past exposure to torture. This suggests that premigration trauma has differential associations with different clusters of psychological symptoms.

Heart Rate Variability after Treatment for Depression in North Korean Defectors

Moon-Soo Lee et al.

Summary: North Korean defectors experience psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety, with heart rate variability (HRV) potentially serving as an objective neurobiological index of autonomic nervous system disorder and reaction to stress in this population. HRV parameters have been found to correlate with clinical measures, suggesting potential for using HRV in assessing psychological disorders in NKDs.
