Abstract

Study design

Development and psychometrics study

Objective

To evaluate the reliability and validity of a new version of Appraisals of Post-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury Health Scale (APTSCIHS) in the Persian language for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting

The persons were selected from National Spinal Cord Injury Registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR) and Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research center (BASIR).

Method

This was a mixed sequential exploratory study that performed in two phases. In the qualitative phase, a systematic scoping review and 12 interviews with the participants were done. Finally, items were generated. In the quantitative phase, face, content, construct and convergent validity were assessed to evaluate validity. To evaluate construct validity, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 305 persons with TSCI along with internal consistency and stability assessments. All quantitative data analyses were conducted using SPSS 22 software.

Results

The content validity and reliability were indicated by Scale’s Content Validity Ratio (S-CVR) = 0.73 and Scale’s Content Validity Index (S-CVI) = 0.86, Cronbach’s α = 0.9 and the Test re-test reliability using intra-class correlations were (ICC) = 0.97 to 0.98. Exploratory factor analysis determined eight factors which showed more than 52% of the variance. APTSCIHS had a significant and strong correlation with Appraisals of DisAbility Primary and Secondary Scale (ADAPSS) (r = 0.475, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Results showed the 36 items APTSCIHS tool had an acceptable validity and reliability in Iran, and it can help health care providers or even administrators improve the quality of the rehabilitation services and quality of life.

伊朗脊髓损伤后健康评估量表的开发和心理测量学特性

研究设计开发和心理测量学研究目标评估新版波斯语脊髓损伤后健康量表（APTSCIHS）对脊髓损伤患者的可靠性和有效性。方法这是一项混合序列探索性研究，分两个阶段进行。在定性研究阶段，进行了系统的范围界定审查，并与参与者进行了 12 次访谈。最后，产生了项目。在定量研究阶段，为评估有效性，对项目的表面效度、内容效度、结构效度和聚合效度进行了评估。为了评估建构效度，对 305 名 TSCI 患者进行了横断面研究，并进行了内部一致性和稳定性评估。所有定量数据分析均使用 SPSS 22 软件进行。结果量表内容效度比（S-CVR）= 0.73，量表内容效度指数（S-CVI）= 0.86，Cronbach's α = 0.9，使用类内相关的测试再测信度（ICC）= 0.97 至 0.98。探索性因子分析确定了 8 个因子，其方差超过 52%。APTSCIHS与残疾评估初级和中级量表（ADAPSS）具有显著的强相关性（r = 0.475，P < 0.001）。结论结果表明，在伊朗，36个项目的APTSCIHS工具具有可接受的有效性和可靠性，它可以帮助医疗服务提供者甚至管理者提高康复服务质量和生活质量。
