Abstract

Study design: Methodological Research Design.

Objectives: To establish the content validity, internal consistency reliability & test-retest reliability of the SCI-FCS for individuals with SCI in Delhi, India.

Setting: Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, India.

Methods: A panel of 13 experts validated the content of the 16-item scale using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The scale was then piloted with 43 manual wheelchair users with SCI. Internal consistency was assessed through item analysis, and 20 participants were retested after one week to evaluate test-retest reliability.

Results: All items met the minimum Content Validity Ratio (CVR) of 0.54 required for 13 experts, ensuring their retention. The scale demonstrated a strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.865) and good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.785).

Conclusion: The SCI-FCS is a valid and reliable tool to assess the fall concerns in manual wheelchair users with SCI in Delhi, India. It can help rehabilitation professionals evaluate the effectiveness of fall prevention interventions.

Sponsorship: None.

在印度德里的手动轮椅使用者中，SCI跌落关注量表（SCI- fcs）的跨文化验证和心理测量测试。

研究设计：方法学研究设计。目的：建立印度德里地区SCI- fcs的内容效度、内部一致性信度和重测信度。地点：印度脊髓损伤中心。方法：由13名专家组成的小组采用定性和定量方法对16项量表的内容进行验证。然后在43名患有脊髓损伤的手动轮椅使用者中试用该量表。通过项目分析评估内部一致性，并在一周后对20名被试进行重测，评估重测信度。结果：所有题目均满足13位专家所要求的最小内容效比（CVR） 0.54，保证了题目的保留。量表具有较强的内部一致性（Cronbach’s alpha = 0.865）和较好的重测信度（ICC = 0.785）。结论：SCI- fcs是一种有效和可靠的工具，用于评估在印度德里的SCI手动轮椅使用者的跌倒问题。它可以帮助康复专业人员评估预防跌倒干预措施的有效性。赞助:没有。
