Abstract

Background and aim: Lack of trunk control following spinal cord injury implicates a worse quality of life and a higher dependence on caregivers; literature proposes several evaluation scales, but studies show poor methodological quality. This study aimed to translate and explore the significance of the Italian version of the FIST-SCI scale for chronic spinal cord injury patients.

Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted at Fiorenzuola D'Arda Hospital. After a forward/backward translation of the FIST-SCI scale in Italian content and face translational validity, intervalutator reliability was assessed. Patients were recruited by historical tracking of patients who received acute rehabilitation care at the Villanova D'Arda Spinal Unit. Two researchers administered the FIST-SCI scale to the same patients at the follow-up.

Results: Ten patients took part in the study; results showed that higher inter-rater correlation coefficient (Pearson's R= 0.89, p= 0.01 Intra-class correlation coefficient= 0.94, p=0.000). Content validity was also excellent (Scale Content Validity Index = 0.91); some experts suggested future scale developments.

Discussion: Italian FIST-SCI scale for assessing trunk control in chronic spinal patients appears to be an excellent assessment tool concerning intervalutator reliability. Content validity further confirms the validity of the instrument.

慢性截瘫患者Fist-Sci量表的意大利语翻译和可靠性:一项观察性研究。

背景和目的:脊髓损伤后缺乏躯干控制意味着生活质量下降和对照顾者的依赖性增加;文献提出了几种评估量表，但研究表明方法质量较差。本研究旨在翻译并探讨意大利语版FIST-SCI量表对慢性脊髓损伤患者的意义。方法:在Fiorenzuola D'Arda医院进行纵向队列研究。在意大利语内容和面部翻译效度上对FIST-SCI量表进行前向/后向翻译后，评估了中介信度。通过对在Villanova D'Arda脊柱科接受急性康复治疗的患者进行历史跟踪来招募患者。两位研究人员在随访中对同一患者使用了FIST-SCI量表。结果:10例患者参与研究;组内相关系数为0.94,p=0.000。内容效度也很好(量表内容效度指数= 0.91);一些专家建议未来发展规模。讨论:意大利FIST-SCI量表用于评估慢性脊柱患者的躯干控制似乎是一个很好的评估工具。内容效度进一步确认了文书的效力。
