ABSTRACT Objective Assess the content validity of the Elderly Health Assessment Tool with low education. Methods The data collection instrument/questionnaire was prepared and submitted to an expert panel comprising four healthcare professionals experienced in research on epidemiology of aging. The experts were allowed to suggest item inclusion/exclusion and were asked to rate the ability of individual items in questionnaire blocks to encompass target dimensions as “not valid”, “somewhat valid” or “valid”, using an interval scale. Percent agreement and the Content Validity Index were used as measurements of inter-rater agreement; the minimum acceptable inter-rater agreement was set at 80%. Results The mean instrument percent agreement rate was 86%, ranging from 63 to 99%, and from 50 to 100% between and within blocks respectively. The Mean Content Validity Index score was 93.47%, ranging from 50 to 100% between individual items. Conclusion The instrument showed acceptable psychometric properties for application in geriatric populations with low levels of education. It enabled identifying diseases and assisted in choice of strategies related to health of the elderly.

PurposeTo translate and adapt the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx) into Chinese version (‘CPAx-Chi’), test the reliability and validity of CPAx-Chi, and verify the cut-off point for the diagnosis of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW).Study designCross-sectional observational study.MethodsForward and back translation, cross-cultural adaptation and pretesting of CPAx into CPAx-Chi were based on the Brislin model. Participants were recruited from the general ICU of five third-grade class-A hospitals in western China. Two hundred critically ill adult patients (median age: 53 years; 64% men) with duration of ICU stay ≥48 hours and Glasgow Coma Scale ≥11 were included in this study. Two researchers simultaneously and independently assessed eligible patients using the Medical Research Council Muscle Score (MRC-Score) and CPAx-Chi.ResultsThe content validity index of items was 0.889. The content validity index of scale was 0.955. Taking the MRC-Score scale as standard, the criterion validity of CPAx-Chi was r=0.758 (p<0.001) for researcher A, and r=0.65 (p<0.001) for researcher B. Cronbach’s α was 0.939. The inter-rater reliability was 0.902 (p<0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves of CPAx-Chi for diagnosing ICU-AW based on MRC-Score ≤48 were 0.899 (95% CI 0.862 to 1.025) and 0.874 (95% CI 0.824 to 0.925) for researcher B. The best cut-off point for CPAx-Chi for the diagnosis of ICU-AW was 31.5. The sensitivity was 87% and specificity was 77% for researcher A, whereas it was 0.621, 31.5, 75% and 87% for researcher B, respectively. The consistency was high when taking CPAx-Chi ≤31 and MRC-Score ≤48 as the cut-off points for the diagnosis of ICU-AW. Cohen’s kappa=0.845 (p=0.02) in researcher A and 0.839 (p=0.04) for researcher B.ConclusionsCPAx-Chi demonstrated content validity, criterion-related validity and reliability. CPAx-Chi showed the best accuracy in assessment of patients at risk of ICU-AW with good sensitivity and specificity at a recommended cut-off of 31.

Epilepsy Monitoring

Background and Purpose:The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit Comfort Questionnaire (EMUCQ) is a self-assessment instrument to measure perceived patient comfort during hospitalization in an EMU. This study aimed at initially determining the content validity by rating the content validity index (CVI).Methods:Nine experts judged the 60-item EMUCQ-1 by filling out a content validation form. The CVI was computed on item (I-CVI) and at an average scale (S-CVI/Ave) level.Results:As many as 26 items remained unchanged and 12 items were reworded to prepare the 38-item EMUCQ-2 (I-CVI scores ≥ .78). Fourteen items were omitted and an additional eight items were put aside for further evaluation. The S-CVI/Ave reached .90.Conclusion:The first results indicate the EMUCQ-2 to be valid in terms of content. Further assessment by members of the target population is advisable.

Prediction And Prevention

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage remains the main cause of maternal mortality in Low and Middle Income Countries. There is a need to advocate for extra vigilance to recognize women at a greater risk and implement early intervention for Postpartum hemorrhage prevention. The purpose of the present study is to develop a content validated risk assessment tool for the prediction and prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage among childbearing women.Methods: This study is drawn from a larger mixed method sequential exploratory study. Factors influencing the prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage were identified from a scoping review and qualitative descriptive studies previously conducted. To establish content validity Index of the instrument, content experts assessed each item of the tool for comprehensiveness, relevance, and face validity. The tool was pilot tested to assess its clinical utility by fifteen (15) health care providers purposively selected from one district hospital based on a minimum of one-year experience in maternity. Ethical considerations were observed.Results: The Risk Assessment Tool went through three rounds of assessment for its content validity. The final round of quantification of the content validity demonstrates that 4 items out of 46 had an Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) of 0.85 while 42 had the maximum I-CVI of 1. The overall Scale Content Validity Index/ Average (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.98, and the universal approach of Scale Content Validity Index/Universal Agreement (S-CVI/UA) was 0.91. The assessment of clinical utility of Risk Assessment Tool for the Prediction and Prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage among Childbearing women (RATP) demonstrates that its format allows easy recording of findings and using the tool can be an added value for prevention of PPH.Conclusions: The risk assessment tool for the prediction and prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage is intended to be used by health care providers in Rwanda to identify mothers at risk of developing PPH and implement timely prevention strategies. The clinical use of the tool can be vital in the development of accurate preventive approaches by key policy makers in Rwanda in particular and in other developing countries.

Transcultural Adaptation

ABSTRACT Objective: to perform the transcultural adaptation and content validity analysis of the Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool to assess both fall risk and fall-related injury risk for hospitalized elderly in Brazil. Method: the transcultural adaptation consisted of translating the scale to Portuguese (Brazil), back-translating it into its language of origin, establishing a consensus version, and having an expert committee verify its transcultural equivalence. Content assessment was conducted by a committee of judges, ending with the calculation of the items and scales' content validity index. Nurses tested the tool. Results: the scale's translated version went through two evaluation rounds by the judges, based on which, the items with unsatisfactory performance were changed. The content validity index for the items was ≥80.0% and the global index 97.1%. The experimental application showed the scale is user-friendly. Conclusion: the scale presents valid content for the assessment of fall risk and risk of fall-related injuries and is easy to use, with the potential to contribute to the proper identification of risks and the establishment of care actions.

The Modified Self-Assessment (MSA) and Present Self-Assessment (PSA) forms are questionnaires used to prioritize the risk of infection of health workers exposed to tuberculosis (TB) in Srinagarind Hospital in Thailand. As MSA was developed from PSA, the validity and reliability of MSA need to be assessed. The research aim is to examine the content validity of MSA and to assess the respective reliability of MSA and PSA vis-à-vis expert opinion. Seven experts determined the content validity index (CVI) of MSA. MSA and PSA were used to prioritize the TB contact of 108 subjects, and we compared the result with the risk assessed by the experts. The respective Kappa agreements between MSA and PSA and the experts were used to assess reliability. The result of the content validity index revealed that MSA had I-CVI > 0.83 for all questions and an S-CVI/Ave above 0.90 for all factors. The Kappa agreement of contact priority between MSA and the experts was 0.80; it was 0.58 between PSA and the experts. MSA can, thus, be used to prioritize contact with tuberculosis in Srinagarind Hospital. MSA is a valid risk communication tool for aerosol-generating procedures. Further study should be conducted in other hospitals, and the number of participants should be increased in order to come to a concrete result.
