Abstract

Background

The Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE) is a video-based tool designed to assess spontaneous functional analysis, dynamic positional analysis and grasp and release abilities in children with various diagnoses. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of SHUEE in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods

The study included 23 children with hemiplegic CP, aged 6–15 years. The reliability of the scale was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for inter-rater reliability and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency. Hypothesis testing for construct validity was assessed using the Children's Hand-Use Experience Questionnaire (CHEQ) and ABILHAND-Kids, comparing SHUEE scores based on gender and the affected side.

Results

The inter-rater reliability of SHUEE was found to be excellent, with ICC values ranging from 0.927 to 0.981. Cronbach's alpha was 0.759 for the total SHUEE score. Hypothesis testing for construct validity of SHUEE was confirmed through significant correlations with CHEQ and ABILHAND-Kids (p < 0.05). Also, the analyses showed no significant differences in SHUEE scores based on gender or the affected extremity (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

The Turkish version of SHUEE has been demonstrated to be a valid and reliable assessment tool. This study supports SHUEE's effectiveness as both a clinical and scientific measurement tool.

土耳其语版Shriners医院上肢评估对偏瘫性脑瘫儿童的效度和信度

Shriners医院上肢评估（SHUEE）是一种基于视频的工具，旨在评估各种诊断儿童的自发功能分析，动态位置分析和抓取和释放能力。本研究的目的是评估土耳其语版SHUEE在偏瘫性脑瘫（CP）儿童中的效度和可靠性。方法选取偏瘫CP患儿23例，年龄6 ~ 15岁。量表的信度是用类内相关系数（ICCs）来评估等级间信度，用Cronbach’s alpha来评估内部一致性。采用儿童手用体验问卷（CHEQ）和儿童手用能力量表（ABILHAND-Kids）对结构效度进行假设检验，比较基于性别和影响侧的SHUEE得分。结果该量表具有良好的量表间信度，其ICC值为0.927 ~ 0.981。总SHUEE评分的Cronbach's alpha为0.759。通过与CHEQ和ABILHAND-Kids的显著相关，证实了SHUEE结构效度的假设检验（p < 0.05）。此外，分析显示基于性别或受影响肢体的SHUEE评分无显著差异（p > 0.05）。结论土耳其语版SHUEE已被证明是一种有效可靠的评估工具。这项研究支持了SHUEE作为临床和科学测量工具的有效性。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
