We investigated the psychometric properties of the Flinn Performance Screening Tool (FPST) for people referred with symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
An occupational therapist collected data from 46 participants who completed the Functional Status Scale (FSS) and FPST after the participants' nerve conduction velocity study to test convergent and contrasted-group validity.
Seventy-four percent of the participants had abnormal nerve conduction studies. Cronbach's α coefficients for subscale and total scores of the FPST ranged from .96 to .98. Intrarater reliability for six shared items of the FSS and the FPST was supported by high agreement (71%) and a fair κ statistic (.36). Strong to moderate positive relationships were found between the FSS and FPST scores. Functional status differed significantly among severe, mild, and negative CTS severity groups.
The FPST shows adequate psychometric properties as a client-centered screening tool for occupational performance of people referred for symptoms of CTS.
我们调查了 Flinn 表现筛选工具(FPST)在因腕管综合征(CTS)症状而就诊的人群中的心理测量学特性。
职业治疗师在参与者进行神经传导速度研究后,从完成功能状态量表(FSS)和 FPST 的 46 名参与者那里收集数据,以测试收敛和对比组的有效性。
74%的参与者神经传导研究异常。FPST 子量表和总分的克朗巴赫 α系数范围为.96 至.98。FSS 和 FPST 的六个共享项目的内部一致性由高一致性(71%)和适度 κ 统计量(.36)支持。FSS 和 FPST 评分之间存在较强到中度的正相关关系。功能状态在 CTS 严重程度严重、轻度和阴性组之间存在显著差异。
FPST 作为一种以客户为中心的针对 CTS 症状就诊者的职业表现筛选工具,具有足够的心理测量学特性。
