: The objective of this study was to develop a questionnaire to assess confidence in wheelchair mobility in Dutch youth (WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth).: (1) A forward-backward translation process was used to translate the original WheelCon-M from English to Dutch. (2) Items related to wheelchair mobility in Dutch youth were selected and adapted based on focus groups with youth, parents and health care professionals to create the WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth. (3) The WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth and the Utrecht Pediatric Wheelchair Mobility Skills Test 2.0 (UP-WMST 2.0) were administered to 62 participants to evaluate internal consistency and construct validity.: Translation and cultural adaptation led to general adaptations in instructions, sentence structure and response scale. At the item level, 24 items were included with ( = 17) and without ( = 7) adaptation, 10 items were deleted and 7 new items were included. The WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth had an excellent Cronbach's alpha of 0.924 and a significant correlation ( = 0.44, < .001) with the UP-WMST 2.0.: This study resulted in the adaptation of the WheelCon-M into the WheelCon-Mobility for Dutch youth using a manual wheelchair. Our study suggests there is evidence supporting the internal consistency and construct validity of the WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth.Implications for RehabilitationThe WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth is a newly developed tool for assessing confidence in wheelchair mobility in Dutch youth using a manual wheelchair.It is important to assess performance and confidence in wheelchair mobility in paediatric rehabilitation.
本研究旨在开发一个评估荷兰青少年轮椅移动信心的问卷(WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth)。
(1) 通过正向-反向翻译过程,将原始 WheelCon-M 从英文翻译成荷兰文。
(2) 根据与青少年、家长和医疗保健专业人员的焦点小组,选择和改编与荷兰青少年轮椅移动相关的项目,以创建 WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth。
(3) 对 62 名参与者进行 WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth 和乌得勒支儿科轮椅移动技能测试 2.0(UP-WMST 2.0)的评估,以评估内部一致性和结构有效性。
翻译和文化适应导致了指令、句子结构和反应量表的一般适应。在项目水平上,包含了 24 个项目(=17)和没有适应的项目(=7),删除了 10 个项目,并增加了 7 个新项目。WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth 的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.924,与 UP-WMST 2.0 显著相关(=0.44,<0.001)。
本研究使用手动轮椅成功改编了 WheelCon-M 为 WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth。我们的研究表明,WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth 的内部一致性和结构有效性具有一定的证据支持。
康复意义
WheelCon-Mobility Dutch Youth 是一种新开发的工具,用于评估荷兰青少年使用手动轮椅的轮椅移动信心。在儿科康复中,评估轮椅移动能力和信心非常重要。
