They often have depression, anxiety, sleep problems, coping stress disability,to other psychosomatic problems.Survey is the common method to assess the recipients for the severeness of psychological disorders. In the past, many studies pointedout that computerized tests are superior to the traditional paper-and-pencil tests in psychological measurement and environmental protection. The most common method of conducting survey in Taiwan is still the traditional paper and pencil. Previous studies indicate the improvement of conducting computerized survey; such as higher recovery rate, less data typing errors, immediate response, etc.There are many hospitals implementing E-health care system in Taiwan. With computerized data, database is able to receive the feedback of survey almost instantly.Then E-health caresystemcan track and monitor their emotions, psychosomatic response, and any signs of changing in their lives. This researchfocus onstudying six scales of mood disorder, and validates the reliability of computerized survey.. The study collected 30 normal subjects and randomly assigned them to a computerized survey or paper survey. Another survey was assigned to them after two weeks. The result shows the parallel testreliability is 0.61~0.92. However, there are two set of scales, SPHS and PSQI, showed poorer parallel test reliability, 0.61 and 0.62. The study result confirmedthat computerized survey is no different from the traditional survey when recipients answered it. This suggested that we could replace the traditional survey with computerized method. The result also shows in order to fully replace the paper-and-pen survey, adjustments must be made for SPHS and PSQI. In Taiwan, the percentage of people using smart devices and APPs are increasing every year. In the future,there are possibilities to develop and conduct survey via APPs for easier access and faster response.
