Psychometric Evaluation of the German Version of the Short Questionnaire for Family Members - Affected by Addiction SQFM-AA (Gambling)

摘要

Introduction: Affected others of disordered gamblers are often heavily impacted because of the illness. Up till now, there is no standardized German instrument to assess this impact. Internationally, the Short Questionnaire for Family Members - affected by addiction (SQFM-AA) is often used which is based on the Stress-Strain-Coping-Support-Modell. That is why we translated this questionnaire into the German Kurzfragebogen fur suchtbelastete Familienmitglieder SQFM-AA (Version Glucksspiel) to be able to assess the impact on affected others and to compare our results internationally.
