Article Title: | Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Appearance Scale. A New Patient-Reported Outcome Instrument for Facial Aesthetics Patients |
Abstract: | Satisfaction with appearance and improved quality of life are key outcomes for patients undergoing facial aesthetic procedures. The FACE-Q is a new patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument encompassing a suite of independently functioning scales designed to measure a range of important outcomes for facial aesthetics patients. FACE-Q scales were developed with strict adherence to international guidelines for PRO instrument development. This article describes the development and psychometric evaluation of the core FACE-Q scale, the Satisfaction with Facial Appearance scale. Both modern and traditional psychometric methods were used to confirm that this new 10-item scale is a reliable, valid, and responsive measure. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. |
