URS-CED
Fragebogen zu Ursachenannahmen bei Patienten mit chronisch entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen
Short abstract
The URS-CED is used to record the assumptions for disease causes in adults suffering from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It consists of 16 items distributed on the cause scales (1) dysfunctional stress regulation, (2) interactionality, (3) lifestyle, (4) physiology and (5) fatalism. Reliability: The internal consistencies are at Cronbach's Alpha = .54-.82. The split-half reliability (Spearman-Brown) was at rtt = .64-.84 (without value for fatalism). Retestreliability after 33 months was rtt = .21-.55. Validity: The content validity can be considered as given. Concerning construct validity, comparisons were made with convergent validation measures (subjective disease theories, control beliefs on health and disease). A mean correlation of r = .39 was found. In addition, methods for disease processing (FKV) and the SIBDQ overall score for quality of life in chronic inflammatory bowel disease were used as divergent measures. This showed a mean correlation of r = .20. Thus, the detection of the internal construct can be considered as given, while that of the total construct is uncertain. Regarding the duration of the disease significant differences in the fatalism scale were found (6 vs. 15 years of disease).
