In this paper, data obtained from a behavioral checklist of dichotomized items was utilized to evaluate the instrument's dimensionality, its construct validity and its capacity to distinguish between levels of pain by using Rasch measurement. A sample of 239 ICU patients was used to collect the data. Results showed that, while unidimensionality was acceptable, concerns remained about the local independence and item fit indices. A third of the items showed misfit. Finally, while items had a great reliability (0.97), persons' measures had a rather low reliability (0.62) and only 1.28 strata of pain could be distinguished.

In contrast, for the Infit and Outfit indices of item misfit, it has historically been common to focus on either the mean square (MS; an index of the magnitude of misfit) or the statistical significance, but not both. If the statistical significance and effect size are to be used together, it is important not only that the Type I error rate matches the nominal alpha level, but also that, for any given magnitude of misfit, the expected value of the MS is independent of sample size. This study confirmed that the average MS for several simulated misfitting items was nearly the same for large and small samples, although necessarily the variance depended on sample size. Thus, if the item fit is statistically significant, the MS appears to be a reasonable index for judging the magnitude of the misfit in the sample, although one must recognize that the estimate of the magnitude will be less stable in small samples, as is true for all effect sizes.</p>","PeriodicalId":73608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied measurement","volume":"18 2","pages":"163-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35454486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
