The accuracy of data collection can be affected by bias in the understanding of the items between the developer and the target population during scale development.

To adjust the items of the Schizophrenia Help-seeking Motivation Scale using the cognitive interview.

A purposive sampling method was used to select 30 schizophrenia patients from a psychiatric hospital in Daqing City from December 2021 to January 2022 to attend three rounds of cognitive interviews. The interview data were collected, and coded using the Question Appraisal System (QAS-99) , and after the coding results were collated, the scale entries were adjusted by integrating respondent feedback and expert panel comments.

During the 1st round of interview, interviewees raised doubts on 11 entries, among which three were due to wording, seven were due to vague expressions, two were due to lack of inadequate knowledge, and one was due to the difficulty in recalling. And some of the entries were revised after discussion. The results of the 2nd round of interview showed that one entry was assumed to be inappropriate and was revised after discussion. The 3rd round of interview continued until the interviewees were able to understand the entries correctly, and they thought that there was no need to further revise the entries.

The cognitive interview effectively solved the problem of understanding differences between the developer and schizophrenia patients in the development of the Schizophrenia Help-seeking Motivation Scale, thus improving the accuracy and applicability of the scale.

应用认知性访谈对精神分裂症患者求助动机量表条目进行调整。

2021年12月—2022年1月，通过目的抽样法选取就诊于大庆市精神专科医院的30例患者进行3轮认知性访谈，收集访谈资料。结合问题评估系统（QAS-99）编码结果及经专家小组意见对量表条目进行修改。

第1轮访谈，受访者对11个条目提出疑义，有3个条目与"措辞"相关，有7个条目与"模糊"相关，有2个条目与"知识"相关，1个条目与"回忆困难"相关，经讨论后部分条目进行了修改；第2轮访谈，受访者认为1个条目假设不恰当，经讨论后进行修改；第3轮访谈，受访者认为无条目需要修改，访谈停止。
