中醫已經納入國內的正規醫療保健體系，但是卻缺乏實質量化的工具評估病人的療效與花費。本研究目的旨在發展過敏性鼻炎患者在中醫治療下生活品質評估量表與建立該量表之信、效度。本量表以健康生活品質為概念，著重於中醫治療下對病患生活品質各範疇及層面之影響。本研究於民國92年6月至92年12月獲得行政院中醫藥委員會研究經費補助，已經完成量表編制過程的前面三個階段：概念釐清、建立原始題目資料庫、決定初稿題目內容。此次研究計畫擬申請研究經費補助以完成第四階段--實地測試。擬用「過敏性鼻炎患者在中醫治療下生活品質評估量表」初稿，正式施測於接受中醫醫療照顧之過敏性鼻炎門診患者。研究方法採橫斷與縱貫調查法，擬採立意取樣方式，要求受訪者以最近四個星期為時間參考點(time reference)來評斷自己的生活品質。關鍵詞：過敏性鼻炎、中醫治療、生活品質、效度、信度。
