A test identified as valid and accurate in research will not automatically be considered appropriate by those involved in its use, or even be used in the first place. The Social Vulnerability Test-22 items [TV-22] is a measure specially designed for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID). This study aims to evaluate the implementation outcomes of the TV-22; more precisely its acceptability (e.g., complexity), appropriateness (e.g., perceived relevance) and the assessment fidelity (i.e., adherence to assessment guidelines) by special education practitioners.
Thirty-one practitioners (8 psychologists, 11 educators, 12 special education center managers) administered the TV-22 during an interview with an adult with ID. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect practitioners' opinions on the acceptability and the appropriateness of the TV-22 for their clinical practice. Quantitative analyses were performed to assess the fidelity of the assessments and the influence of some personal factors.
The results indicate a good appropriateness, a reasonable acceptability, - but a low assessment fidelity of the TV-22 by some practitioners. Psychologists stand out for a more rigorous use of the test.
Results highlight the importance of evaluating implementation outcomes when a new measure is developed to ensure its appropriateness and correct use by stakeholders.
在研究中被证明有效和准确的测试并不会自动被其使用者认为是合适的，甚至可能首先就不会被使用。社会脆弱性测试-22 项 [TV-22] 是专门为智力残疾成年人设计的一种测量工具。本研究旨在评估 TV-22 的实施结果；更确切地说，评估其可接受性（例如，复杂性）、适当性（例如，感知相关性）和评估保真度（即，是否遵守评估指南），由特殊教育从业者进行。
31 名从业者（8 名心理学家、11 名教育工作者、12 名特殊教育中心经理）在与智力残疾成年人的访谈中使用 TV-22 进行评估。进行半结构化访谈以收集从业者对 TV-22 用于其临床实践的可接受性和适当性的意见。进行定量分析以评估评估的保真度和一些个人因素的影响。
结果表明，一些从业者认为 TV-22 的适当性较好，可接受性合理，但评估保真度较低。心理学家在更严格地使用测试方面表现突出。
结果强调了在开发新测量工具时评估实施结果的重要性，以确保其被利益相关者适当和正确地使用。
