Creating and psychometric testing of a new QoL Questionnaire about Physiotherapeutic Specific Exercises of Scoliosis (Questionnaire of Physiotherapeutic Specific Exercises of Scoliosis-QPSSE).
The purpose of this study is to create a reliable and valid questionnaire for patients suffering from mild and moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who have been treated with Physiotherapeutic Specific Exercises of Scoliosis (PSSE) in order to evaluate their quality of life.
The developed questionnaire was based on a thorough literature review as well as on authors' experience. It consists of 53 questions, of which 37 have a positive meaning, 15 have a negative meaning, and 1 is a multiple choice question; additionally, there are 6 "open" questions. Except for the multiple choice question, all other questions are answered on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 points. Five represents a positive meaning or very positive one, whereas one stands for a negative meaning or none at all. Questions were developed by the authors who subsequently categorized the 53 questions into the following eight domains: physical functioning, self-image, Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSEs), psychosocial functioning, cognitive functioning, compliance, motivation, and pain. A pilot study was conducted so that we could calculate Cronbach's Alpha based on the outcome. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors worked through the Zoom online platform to structure the questionnaire.
Pearson's correlation coefficient was used for all correlations evaluated. P values of less than 0.05 were considered to be significant. Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach's Alpha. Although there were very few missing values, accounting for 0.78% of the total values of the questionnaire, the expectation maximization likelihood algorithm was used to impute data. IBM SPSS Statistics Software v.25 was used for the analysis. Cronbach's Alpha coefficients for the overall score were 0.84.
This original QPSSE was found to be a reliable and valid tool for AIS treated conservatively with PSSE and for the patients' clinicians.
创建并对一份关于脊柱侧弯物理治疗特定锻炼的新生活质量问卷(脊柱侧弯物理治疗特定锻炼问卷 - QPSSE)进行心理测量测试。
本研究的目的是为患有轻度和中度青少年特发性脊柱侧弯(AIS)且已接受脊柱侧弯物理治疗特定锻炼(PSSE)的患者创建一份可靠且有效的问卷,以评估他们的生活质量。
所开发的问卷基于全面的文献综述以及作者的经验。它由53个问题组成,其中37个具有正向含义,15个具有负向含义,1个是多项选择题;此外,还有6个“开放式”问题。除多项选择题外,所有其他问题均采用1至5分的李克特量表作答。5分代表正向含义或非常正向,而1分代表负向含义或完全没有。问题由作者编写,随后将这53个问题分为以下八个领域:身体功能、自我形象、脊柱侧弯物理治疗特定锻炼(PSSEs)、心理社会功能、认知功能、依从性、动机和疼痛。进行了一项试点研究,以便我们能够根据结果计算克朗巴哈系数。由于新冠疫情,作者通过Zoom在线平台来构建问卷。
所有评估的相关性均使用皮尔逊相关系数。P值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。使用克朗巴哈系数评估内部一致性。尽管缺失值非常少,占问卷总值的0.78%,但仍使用期望最大化似然算法来插补数据。使用IBM SPSS Statistics Software v.25进行分析。总体得分的克朗巴哈系数为0.84。
发现这份原创的QPSSE对于接受PSSE保守治疗的AIS患者及其临床医生而言是一种可靠且有效的工具。
