چکیده

Objective: A direct comparison of different kinds of scale formats of ratings of comfort and of mood states as well as their relation to the cardiovascular response was the objective. It was expected that activation-related scales are associated with physiological measures and that comfort scales and ratings of mood states would give complementary information on the impact of environmental conditions.

Validation and Findings Comparing VAS vs. Likert Scales for Psychosocial Measurements

Context: Psychosocial exposures commonly show large variation over time and are usually assessed using multiitem Likert indices. A construct requiring a five-item Likert index could possibly be replaced by a single visual analogue scale (VAS). Objective: To: a) evaluate validity and relative reliability of a single VAS compared to previously validated Likert based items and indices measuring th...

Lack of interchangeability between visual analogue and verbal rating pain scales: a cross sectional description of pain etiology groups

BACKGROUND Rating scales like the visual analogue scale, VAS, and the verbal rating scale, VRS, are often used for pain assessments both in clinical work and in research, despite the lack of a gold standard. Interchangeability of recorded pain intensity captured in the two scales has been discussed earlier, but not in conjunction with taking the influence of pain etiology into consideration. ...

A comparison of pain measurement characteristics of mechanical visual analogue and simple numerical rating scales.

Numerical rating scales and mechanical visual analogue scales (M-VAS) were compared for their capacity to provide ratio scale measures of experimental pain. Separate estimates of experimental pain sensation intensity and pain unpleasantness were obtained by each method, as were estimates of clinical pain. Orofacial pain patients made numerical scale and VAS ratings in response to noxious therma...

The visual analog scale and a five-item verbal rating scale are not interchangeable for back pain assessment in lumbar spine disorders.

STUDY DESIGN Prospective study of patients with chronic back pain from lumbar spine disorders. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the degree of interchangeability of a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) and a 5-point verbal rating scale (VRS) for the assessment of pain intensity. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The fact that VAS and Likert scales are highly intercorrelated does not mean that both types of scal...

Validation of a revised visual analog scale for premenstrual mood symptoms: results from prospective and retrospective trials.

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have demonstrated that visual analog scales (VASs) are valid and reliable instruments for measuring the severity of premenstrual symptoms. Most of these studies, though, predate the introduction of DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Our objective was to assess the reliability and validity of VASs that were revised to better reflect ...
