한국어판 두통영향 검사(Headache Impact Test-6)의 타당도 및 신뢰도 조사 = Validity and Reliability Assessment of Korean Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: Quality-of-life measurement represents an important tool for evaluating the management and impact
of headache on individuals and society. The Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) is a simple instrument developed to
assess headache-related disability in Western countries. The objective of this study was to determine the reliability
and validity of the Korean HIT-6.
Methods: Participants were recruited from patients who visited the Neurology Clinic of Hallym University Sacred
Heart Hospital due to headache. The survey included the SF-36 and HIT-6. Headache diagnosis was assigned using
ICHD-Ⅱ after completing a semistructured diagnostic interview.
Results: A total of 43 patients were recruited, who were aged 35.2±13.6 years (mean±SD). Thirty-three and three
were diagnosed as having migraine and probable migraine, respectively. Eight and two were diagnosed with
tension-type and probable tension-type headache, respectively. There was a negative correlation between the total
SF-36 and HIT-6 scores (Spearman’s correlation coefficient=-0.64, p<0.01). Similar significant negative correlations were
also observed between SF-36 physical health summary and HIT-6 scores (Spearman’s correlation coefficient=-0.54,
p<0.01), and between SF-36 mental summary and HIT-6 scores (Spearman’s correlation coefficient=-0.60, p<0.01).
The Cronbach’s alpha of HIT-6 was 0.85.
Conclusions: The Korean HIT-6 is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing headache-related quality of life.
