This study was conducted to continue the construct validation of the occupational therapy Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) evaluation used at St. Marys Hospital Medical Center in Madison, Wisconsin. From the previous factor analysis of this battery, a perception factor emerged that is defined by high loadings on measures of body scheme, figure ground, position in space, spatial relations, and stereognosis. From the literature review it was hypothesized that scores on these tests should be related to patient discharge disposition. Results of this study supported the hypothesis, thus providing further evidence of the construct validity of the St. Marys CVA Evaluation Battery.
本研究旨在继续对威斯康星州麦迪逊市圣玛丽医院医疗中心使用的职业治疗脑血管意外（CVA）评估进行结构效度验证。从该测试组先前的因素分析中，出现了一个感知因素，该因素由身体图式、图形背景、空间位置、空间关系和实体觉测量的高负荷定义。从文献综述中推测，这些测试的分数应与患者出院处置相关。本研究结果支持了这一假设，从而为圣玛丽CVA评估测试组的结构效度提供了进一步的证据。
