Abstract：Objective To review the interoceptive assessment tools in terms of structure,content and psychometric properties,based on the framework of the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF).
Methods The literature on interoceptive evaluation tools was retrieved from databases of CNKI,PubMed,Medline and EBSCO.The principal structures and contents of the assessment tools were analyzed based on the ICF frame-work,and the quality of the psychometric properties were appraised using COSMIN.
Results A total of 13 interoceptive assessment tools were ultimately included,involving 16 literature references.There were five interoceptive sensitivity tools,four accuracy tools and four awareness tools.In terms of content,intero-ceptive sensitivity tools involved 33 categories of body functions,six categories of activities and participation,and one of environmental factors;while interoceptive accuracy tools only involved seven categories of body func-tion,and two of activities and participation items;interoceptive awareness tools involved 30 categories of body function,four categories of activities and participation,and three of environmental factors.In terms of psycho-metric properties,Body Perception Questionnaire-Short Form(BPQ-SF)was the sensitivity tool with the best re-liability and validity(qualified rate of 7/8),followed by Interoceptive Sensitivity Questionnaire(ISQ)(qualified rate of 6/8).Most of the accuracy tools adopted standardized measurement methods,but lacked sufficient reliabil-ity and validity verification.The awareness tools were good in reliability and validity(qualified rate above 5/8),especially Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness(MAIA-1)and Body Awareness Question-naire(BAQ)(qualified rate of 8/8).
Conclusion BPQ-SF and ISQ are recommended for interoceptive sensitivity assessment,Water-loading Test and Heart-beat Tracking Task for interoceptive accuracy assessment,and MAIA-1 and BAQ for interoceptive awareness as-sessment.
