Development of a scale to assess the compliance of hypertensive patients

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of the "Compliance of Hypertensive Patients" scale (=CHPS), and assessment of its reliability and validity. Previous scales incorporate only activity in health regimens as indicators of hypertensive patients' compliance. The "Compliance of Hypertensive Patients" scale was developed to incorporate other indicators of compliance also, such as intention, responsibility and collaboration. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 103 patients, in five health care centres in Finland. Dimensionality was explored using principal component analysis and internal consistency was estimated according to a standard item analysis approach and Theta coefficient. Validity was assessed using face validity, content validity and criterion-related validity (through the use of concurrent validity). The data supported five subscales, labelled: lifestyle, intention, attitude, responsibility and smoking. Inter-item correlations ranged from 0.24 to 0.61 and corrected item-total correlations from 0.32 to 0.67, across subscales. The Theta coefficient demonstrated good internal consistency. This scale forms a useful starting point in the development of a reliable and valid tool to assess compliance of hypertensive patients, based on several indicators.     

Evaluation of the Morse Fall Scale: applicability in Chinese hospital populations

BACKGROUND: Patient falls have been identified as a significant health problem in the general hospital patient population. The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) is an individualized criterion-referenced assessment tool designed for measuring the likelihood of patient falls in hospitals. Despite the scale has demonstrated high validity and reliability in the previous researches, this study is to provide additional validity tests to determine the applicability in the Chinese hospital population. OBJECTIVES: To examine the predictive power of the MFS to predict patient falls. To conduct reliability tests on internal consistency, item analysis, inter-rater and test-retest reliability. DESIGN: The study was a cross-sectional study. SETTINGS: The medical and geriatric units of three rehabilitation hospitals in Hong Kong participated in the study. PARTICIPANTS: A convenience sample of 954 Chinese patients was recruited sequentially upon admission in the hospital ward units. They ranged in age from 17 to 100 years, with a mean of 70.2 years. METHODS: The patients were assessed for fall risk using the MFS on admission. Data was collected on the number of patients who fell rather than the number of falls. RESULTS: The scale had a sensitivity of 31% and a specificity of 83% when the cut-off point was determined at 45. The field test demonstrated excellent inter-rater reliability with an ICC value of 0.97 (95%CI 0.94-0.98). Repeatability was high with an ICC of 0.98 (95% CI 0.98-0.99). The evaluation revealed a low Cronbach's alpha coefficient and a low to moderate item-to-scale correlation. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence collected in this study has shown both the positive and negative aspects of using the MFS in assessing the fall risk of Chinese patients during rehabilitation. The discriminative validity and internal consistency reliability provide researchers and clinicians with a major step in further developing or modifying the scale.     

Intra- and inter-rater reliability and validity of the Ottawa Sitting Scale: a new tool to characterise sitting balance in acute care patients

Purpose.?We present the new Ottawa Sitting Scale (OSS) developed to characterise sitting balance in the acute care setting with slow to recover patients. We provide intra- and inter-rater reliability measures of the OSS as well as a factor analysis of scale items.

Method.?Seventy-one subjects aged 21–92 years participated in this study. Original scores were compared to scores from videotaped original sessions. Performance on the OSS was compared to performance on the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Physiotherapy Functional Mobility Profile (PFMP).

Results.?The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) obtained for intra-rater reliability was excellent at 0.99 with individual item ICCs ranging from 0.746 to 0.997. Similarly, the ICCs for inter-rater reliability were also excellent at 0.96 to 0.98 with individual item ICCs ranging from 0.723 to 0.985. In the factor analysis, two main factors accounted for 77.8% of the total item variance and could be reasonably identified as movement within base of support (BOS) and movement outside BOS. The BBS and the PFMP had floor effects for the subjects with the lowest OSS scores while there was an OSS ceiling effect corresponding to those with BBS scores of approximately 10 or more.

Conclusions.?The OSS discriminates between those subjects with low levels of sitting balance. Further studies will determine responsiveness to change, and compare the OSS with other postural control measures to identify the unique application of the OSS through the stages of recovery and rehabilitation.     

Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of disability ratings based on the modified D Code of the ICIDH

Since application of the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (ICIDH) in its full form proved to be impractical, the use of selected parts, or of instruments based on the ICIDH, has been suggested. We have assessed the inter- and intra-rater reliability of disability ratings using a screening instrument, based on the D Code of the ICIDH. The level of functional abilities of all new patients (n = 39) seen by a resident at our outpatient clinic in an 11-week period was rated on a four-point scale for each of 28 items in five ability categories. Independent ratings were done by a resident and his supervisor (inter-rater reliability). Repeated rating by the resident was used to assess intra-rater reliability. Calculation of the inter- and intra-rater reliability was based both on the method of the relative agreement and on the measure κ. The results showed relative agreements of ≥82%, and κ values of ≥0.71 were found. This study shows that in a teaching hospital very satisfactory inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities using a short instrument based on the D Code of the ICIDH can be achieved. It can therefore be recommended as a method for global disability rating.     

The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of passive physiological accessory movement assessment of lumbar spine in novice manual therapists

Passive Physiological Accessory Movements (PPAVMs) are commonly used assessment and treatment techniques in patients with low back pain. Many physiotherapists, including novices, consider PPAVMs an important tool for assessment and treatment of low back pain. Reliability is important as a judgement on the reproducibility of assessment procedures between therapists. However, the reliability of PPAVMs seems to have some problems, and reliability of PPAVMs has not yet been established amongst novice manual therapists. This study aimed at investigating inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of PPAVMs in novice physiotherapists. Fifty two healthy participants were recruited for the study. PPAVMs were applied by two novice physiotherapists and accessory movements were assessed, and both the raters were blinded from each others' findings to avoid bias. The mobility was graded on a three point scale with grade 1 being considered as hypomobile, 2 as normal and 3 as hypermobile. This procedure was performed on all five lumbar segments. Each participant was assessed on the same day for inter-rater reliability, and for intra-rater reliability the participant was assessed by one rater a week later. Kappa (κ) was calculated for all the levels of lumbar spine which ranged between 0.01 and 0.30 for inter-rater reliability and 0.24 to 0.57 for intra-rater reliability. Percentage exact agreement was also computed which showed a range between 38.4% and 57.6%. The values of 'κ' showed poor intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. However, further research is advisable in order to assess the role of experience in reproducibility of PPAVMs.     

Movement skill assessment in children with profound multiple disabilities: a psychometric analysis of the top down motor milestone test

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the psychometric properties of the Top Down Motor Milestone Test (TDMMT), an internationally used instrument in the planning and evaluation of movement-oriented interventions. SETTING: Centres for special education in the Netherlands. SUBJECTS: Children with profound multiple disabilities. METHODS: Validity, reliability and utility of the TDMMT were evaluated. Validity was assessed by conducting a principal component analysis. Reliability was determined by evaluating the internal consistency, test-retest and inter-rater reliability. With regard to utility, the hierarchical item ordering was evaluated with a Mokken scale analysis. Inter-item and item-rest correlations were calculated to confirm the allocation of the items in the TDMMT. RESULTS: Principal component analysis did not support the presence of three underlying factors. The internal consistency was high and test-retest and inter-rater reliability varied from moderate to perfect. Scale analysis showed that the subscales of the TDMMT are strong one-dimensional scales with good internal consistency, however, the order of the items could only partly be confirmed as well as the allocation of the items into four levels of functioning. CONCLUSION: The reliability of the TDMMT is good, but validity is moderate. Results indicate that adaptations to the structure of the TDMMT should be made when used for children with profound multiple disabilities. Further psychometric evaluation of the TDMMT is necessary.     

System-wide Clinical Assessment of Functioning Based on the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health in China: Interrater Reliability,Convergent, Known Group,and Predictive Validity of the ICF Generic-6

ObjectiveTo validate the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Generic-6 in daily routine clinical practice in Mainland China. Specific objectives were to analyze (1) interrater reliability, (2) convergent validity, (3) known group validity, and (4) predictive validity of the ICF Generic-6.DesignMulticenter prospective cohort study.SettingFifty hospitals from 20 provinces of Mainland China.ParticipantsA total of 4510 patients from departments of rehabilitation, orthopedics, neurology, cardiology, pneumology, and cerebral surgery of the participating hospitals with different health conditions were included in this study.InterventionNot applicable.Main Outcome MeasuresThe assessment was undertaken by nurses with ICF Generic-6 in combination with a numeric rating scale. Interrater reliability was evaluated with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Convergent validity was evaluated with Spearman correlation coefficients between ICF Generic-6 and Medical Outcomes Short Form (SF)-12 items. Known group validity was examined by comparing discharge scores between different discharge destinations. Predictive validity was determined by using ICF Generic-6 baseline scores for estimating length of hospital stay with a loglogistic survival model with gamma shared frailty and cost of in-hospital treatment with a mixed effects generalized linear regression model of the gamma family.ResultsThe interrater reliability of items and score of ICF Generic-6 was good with ICCs ranging from 0.67-0.87. ICF Generic-6 items were further correlated with respective SF-12 items. Discharge scores of patients differed significantly by discharge destination. The ICF Generic-6 admission score was a significant predictor of length of stay and treatment cost.ConclusionsThe ICF Generic-6 administered in combination with a 0-10 numeric rating scale is a reliable and valid tool for the collection of minimal information on functioning across various clinical settings.
