Environnement ; Qualité de vie ; Rééducation et réadaptationMots-clés : Environment International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health Classification internationale du fonctionnement du handicap et de la santé Patient outcome assessment Évaluation des résultats des patients Quality of life Surveys and questionnaires Enquêtes et questionnaires Résumé : Objectives
To develop a measure of perceived systems, services, and policies facilitators (see Chapter 5 of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) for people with neurologic disabilities and to evaluate the effect of perceived systems, services, and policies facilitators on health-related quality of life.
Design
Qualitative approaches to develop and refine items. Confirmatory factor analysis including 1-factor confirmatory factor analysis and bifactor analysis to evaluate unidimensionality of items. Rasch analysis to identify misfitting items. Correlational and analysis of variance methods to evaluate construct validity.
Setting
Community-dwelling individuals participated in telephone interviews or traveled to the academic medical centers where this research took place.
Participants
Participants (N=571) had a diagnosis of spinal cord injury, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. They were 18 years or older and English speaking.
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
An item bank to evaluate environmental access and support levels of services, systems, and policies for people with disabilities.
Results
We identified a general factor defined as access and support levels of the services, systems, and policies at the level of community living and 3 local factors defined as health services, community living, and community resources. The systems, services, and policies measure correlated moderately with participation measures: Community Participation Indicators (CPI) Involvement, CPI Control over Participation, Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders Ability to Participate, Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders Satisfaction with Role Participation, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Ability to Participate, PROMIS Satisfaction with Role Participation, and PROMIS Isolation.
Conclusions
The measure of systems, services, and policies facilitators contains items pertaining to health services, community living, and community resources. Investigators and clinicians can measure perceptions of systems, services, and policies resources reliably with the items described here. Moderate relations between systems, services, and policies facilitators and PROMIS and CPI variables provide support for the measurement and theory of environmental effects on social functioning related to participation.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=117885

To develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of an item set measuring economic quality of life (QOL) for use by individuals with disabilities.
Design
Survey.
Setting
Community settings.
Participants
Individuals with disabilities completed individual interviews (n=64), participated in focus groups (n=172), and completed cognitive interviews (n=15). Inclusion criteria included the following: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or stroke; age ≥18 years; and ability to read and speak English. We calibrated the items with 305 former rehabilitation inpatients.
Interventions
None.
Main Outcome Measure
Economic QOL.
Results
Confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable fit indices (comparative fit index=.939, root mean square error of approximation=.089) for the 37 items. However, 3 items demonstrated local item dependence. Dropping 9 items improved fit and obviated local dependence. Rasch analysis of the remaining 28 items yielded a person reliability of .92, suggesting that these items discriminate about 4 economic QOL levels.
Conclusions
We developed a 28-item bank that measures economic aspects of QOL. Preliminary confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis results support the psychometric properties of this new measure. It fills a gap in health-related QOL measurement by describing the economic barriers and facilitators of community participation. Future development will make the item bank available as a computer adaptive test.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=118455

Rééducation et réadaptationMots-clés : Access to information Accès à l'information Attitude to computers Attitude devant l'ordinateur Patient outcome assessment Évaluation des résultats des patients Résumé : Objective
To develop and validate a patient-reported measure of access to information and technology (AIT) for persons with spinal cord injury, stroke, or traumatic brain injury.
Design
A mixed-methods approach was used to develop items, refine them through cognitive interviews, and evaluate their psychometric properties. Item responses were evaluated with the Rasch rating scale model. Correlational and analysis-of-variance methods were used to evaluate construct validity.
Setting
Community-dwelling individuals participated in telephone interviews or traveled to the academic medical centers where this research took place.
Participants
Individuals with a diagnosis of spinal cord injury, stroke, or traumatic brain injury (aged ≥18y, English speaking) participated in cognitive interviews (n=12 persons), field testing of the items (n=305 persons), and validation testing of the final set of items (n=604 persons).
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
A set of items to measure AIT for people with disabilities.
Results
A user-friendly multimedia touchscreen was used for self-administration of the items. A 23-item AIT measure demonstrated good evidence of internal consistency reliability, and content and construct validity.
Conclusions
This new AIT measure will enable researchers and clinicians to determine to what extent environmental factors influence health outcomes and social participation in people with disabilities. The AIT measure could also provide disability advocates with more specific and detailed information about environmental factors to lobby for elimination of barriers.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=117989

Accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) ; Attitude ; Environnement ; Lésions traumatiques de l'encéphale ; Mesures des résultats rapportés par les patients (PROM) ; Participation communautaire ; Réadaptation ; Traumatismes de la moelle épinièreRésumé : Objectives
To develop item banks of social attitude barriers and facilitators to participation and validate them with established instruments.
Design
We used the Rasch model to identify misfitting items and rating scale problems, calibrate items, and develop KeyForms and short forms. Correlations between the Social Attitude Barriers and Facilitators item banks with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Social Health domain and National Institutes of Health Toolbox Emotional Battery Social Relationships domain were computed to evaluate convergent and divergent validity.
Setting
Community-dwelling individuals traveled to 3 academic medical centers for testing.
Participants
Participants (N=558) who had a primary impairment of stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury (mean age, 47.0±16.0y) completed 31 social attitude facilitator and 51 barrier items using a 5-point rating scale.
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
Item banks to measure social attitude barriers and facilitators for individuals with disabilities.
Results
After combining the never and rarely rating scale categories, 30 Facilitator items fit the Rasch model and demonstrated person reliability of 0.93. After collapsing the never and rarely rating scale categories, 45 Barrier items fit the Rasch model and demonstrated person reliability of 0.95. Ceiling and floor effects were negligible for both item banks. Facilitators and Barriers item banks were negatively correlated, and these banks were moderately correlated with PROMIS and Toolbox measures, providing evidence of convergent and divergent validity.
Conclusions
Findings support the reliability and validity of the Social Attitude Facilitators and Barriers item banks. These item banks allow investigators and clinicians to measure perceptions of social attitudes, providing information that can guide individual interventions to reduce barriers and promote facilitators. Moderate correlations between the Social Attitude banks and PROMIS and Toolbox variables provide support for the measurement and theory of environmental influences on social health and participation.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=266422
