Abstract
Background
Due to its complex nature, cerebral palsy (CP) leads to impairments in body structure and functions, decreased participation and affected occupational performance. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is commonly used with both children diagnosed with CP and their parents, but it has not been culturally adapted in this population. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the COPM when used directly with children with CP. A secondary aim involved translating the specific administration instructions into Turkish to facilitate child self-report.
Methods
All analyses conducted to examine validity and reliability were performed using the COSMIN (Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments) guideline. The scale and instructions were translated following Beaton's procedure.
Results
The discriminative construct validity analysis revealed no significant gender-based differences in COPM performance and satisfaction scores (p = 0.75, p = 0.11), indicating consistency across genders. Item analysis showed acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.76–0.81). Test–retest analysis demonstrated excellent reliability for time-related equability in COPM performance and satisfaction parameters (ICC > 0.9).
Conclusion
The COPM is a valid and reliable measurement tool for children aged 8–18 with CP, with adapted instruction in Turkish.
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.
