Abstract Background Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic progressive vascular disease that impacts patients overall health and quality of life. Sickle-cell pain crises (SCPCs) are a hallmark clinical presentation of SCD and have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The Sickle Cell Pain Diary- Self Report (SCPD-S) was developed as a daily patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure primarily intended to capture the frequency and severity of SCD-related pain during and outside of a SCPC. The SCPD-S also examines the impact of the pain associated with an SCPC on other health-related quality of life concepts. The objective of this study was to investigate the content validity of the SCPD-S. Methods The content validation testing included 18 in-depth hybrid concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing interviews conducted with SCD patients in the US aged 12 years and older. Interviewers used a semi-structured interview guide and a think-aloud approach for the cognitive debriefing portion. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and analyzed. Results Eighteen interviews across two rounds were conducted. Round 1 hybrid interviews (n = 12) resulted in the expansion of the SCPD-S from 13 to 19 items. Items on the impact of an SCPC on social and recreational activities, sleep, and emotional well-being were added. Five items were significantly revised, as were three response choice sets. Round 2 hybrid interviews (n = 6) confirmed the comprehensiveness of the revised diary, understandability of the wording, and appropriateness of the recall period and response sets. Saturation analyses specific to concept elicitation revealed that no additional interviews were needed. Conclusions This study provided evidence to support the content validity of the SCPD-S, a self-report daily diary. Data gathered during patient interviews indicated that the SCPD-S is a fit for purpose measure of SCD and SCPC-related pain frequency and severity and the impact of this pain on other health-related quality of life concepts including fatigue and emotional health. The numerous changes to the SCPD-S as a result of the study findings highlight the importance of the content validation process when developing a PRO measure.

Objective: To develop a self-report questionnaire to measure functional limitation in children aged 7- 12 years with physical dysfunction. Study design: Methodological research design Method: The study was conducted in phases: drafting of the questionnaire, content validation, pilot testing, revision of the questionnaire, field testing and test-retest reliability. A total of 66 items were generated through a review of the literature and interviews of twenty five children, their parents and health-care professionals. Qualitative and quantitative content validation through expert review and item reduction resulted in a 59-item questionnaire which was pilot tested on a sample of 10 children with physical dysfunction. With further inputs the questionnaire was revised. Thus, the final questionnaire with 60 items in two versions (a child and a caregiver’s version) in both Hindi and English was developed. Results: Qualitative review and Content validity was established for the Children’s Functional Limitation Scale. The questionnaire demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha=0.91), moderate agreement between parents and children (weighted kappa= 0.718) and good test-retest reliability (weighted kappa=0.88). Conclusion: “Children’s Functional Limitation Scale” is a valid and reliable tool for documenting difficulties perceived by children with physical dysfunction. Also, the study demonstrates ability of children to reliably report their limitations.

Abstract Background: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic, progressive, vascular disease that affects approximately 100,000 children and adults in the US. Vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), also referred to as pain crises, are a primary complication of SCD. VOCs are thought to be caused by several factors, including inflamed, damaged vasculature and increased cellular adherence to the endothelium and other cells, resulting in occlusion of the microvascular system. VOCs have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Healthcare visit data partially reflect VOC and SCD outcomes and provide an understanding of healthcare resource utilization (HCRU). However, evaluating only HCRU data misses the breadth and depth of the patient experience and burden of SCD as it fails to capture daily variations of pain and other important quality of life (QoL) concepts. Additionally, patients who avoid seeking care outside the home are not represented in HCRU data. The Sickle Cell Pain Diary- Self Report (SCPD-S) was developed as a daily patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure primarily intended to capture the frequency and severity of SCD-related pain during and outside of a VOC and secondarily to examine the impact of the pain on other patient-relevant QoL concepts. The objective of this study was to investigate the content validity of the SCPD-S. Methods: A draft diary was developed from the literature. In line with FDA guidance for PRO development, the content validation of the SCPD-S included four consecutive steps: (1) literature review to identify important concepts to measure and mapping of concepts to draft diary; (2) expert review to improve wording and layout; (3) round 1 (N=13) of qualitative interviews with patients; and (4) round 2 (N=6) of qualitative interviews with patients. Revisions made to the diary after each step were tested in the following step. In total, 18 in-depth, hybrid concept elicitation (CE) and cognitive debriefing (CD) interviews were conducted in English in person (n=13) and by phone (n=5) with SCD patients in the US aged ≥12 years. A semi-structured guide was used to explore concepts relevant to patients' experience with VOCs and to test the draft diary. The CD portion of the interviews required patients to state their thoughts while reading the diary aloud, after which interviewers probed on areas that seemed confusing and asked questions specific to the diary instructions, recall period, items, and response choices. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and analyzed. Results: All four steps of this content validation study resulted in changes to the SCPD-S. The literature review, expert review, and round 1 patient interviews resulted in expansion of the SCPD-S from 8 to 19 items covering concepts highlighted by patients as important. For example, impact of VOCs on school/work, activities of daily living, social and recreational activities, sleep, and emotional wellbeing were added. Five items from the original diary were significantly revised, as were all response choices. Round 2 interviews confirmed the comprehensiveness of the revised diary, comprehensibility of the wording, and appropriateness of the recall period and response choices. Final changes to the diary included adding skip logic to ensure transition to an electronic format. Saturation analyses revealed that no additional interviews were needed. Conclusions: This study provided evidence that supports the content validity of the SCPD-S, a self-report SCD daily diary focused on capturing daily variations of pain in SCD. Evidence gathered during patient interviews indicated that the SCPD-S is a valuable, fit for purpose measure of VOC-related pain frequency and severity as well as the impact of this pain on other QoL concepts including fatigue and emotional health. In addition, the diary captures the QoL of patients who may not seek care outside the home providing a more holistic view of the overall impact of VOCs and SCD. The numerous changes to the SCPD-S as a result of the study findings highlight the importance of the content validation process in establishing a PRO measure. Future work on the SCPD-S includes development of a scoring algorithm and user's manual, and conducting psychometric validation. Use of the SCPD-S is anticipated in future clinical trials enrolling patients who experience VOCs as a way to help capture the QoL impacts of new interventions designed to reduce the frequency and intensity of VOCs.

Development And Validation

We describe the development and validation of the Social-Emotional Teaching Practices Questionnaire-Chinese (SETP-C), a self-report instrument designed to gather information about Chinese preschool teachers’ implementation of social-emotional practices. Initially (study 1), 262 items for the SETP-C were generated. Content validation of these items was conducted separately with Chinese practice experts, research experts, and preschool teachers. Significant revisions were made to items based on theoretical evidence and empirical findings from initial content validation activities, which led to a 70-item version of the SETP-C. In study 2, preliminary psychometric integrity evidence and item characteristics of the SETP-C were gathered based on the data from a sample of 1,599 Chinese preschool teacher respondents. Results from confirmatory factor analyses suggested a seven-factor measurement model, and high internal consistency score reliability was documented for each dimension of the SETP-C. Results of item response theory graded response models further indicated adequate psychometric properties at the item level.

Report Measure

The development of a self-report measure of acculturation in Greek-Americans began with item construction in three systematic steps. First, four first-generation Greek-American judges who were familiar with both Greek-American and Anglo-American cultures were asked to generate separate lists of cultural beliefs and practices along seven dimensions on which Anglo-Americans and Greek-Americans differ. Second, the most commonly listed beliefs and practices identified by the judges were included in a pilot inventory. Here, three Greek-American judges rated the accuracy of items as measures of Greek-American acculturation. Third, a 44-item revised inventory of items that had the highest mean ratings (content validation) showed good construct and concurrent validity among Greek-Americans.

Abstract Autistic individuals can be socially motivated. We disagree with the idea that self-report is sufficient to understand their social drive. Instead, we underscore evidence for typical non-verbal signatures of social reward during the early development of autistic individuals. Instead of focusing on whether or not social motivation is typical, research should investigate the factors that modulate social drives.

The Relationship

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Purpose The aim of the study was to assess how the use of a mild-gain hearing aid can affect hearing handicap, motivation, and attitudes toward hearing aids for middle-age, normal-hearing adults who do and do not self-report trouble hearing in background noise. Method A total of 20 participants (45–60 years of age) with clinically normal-hearing thresholds (< 25 dB HL) were enrolled in this study. Ten self-reported difficulty hearing in background noise, and 10 did not self-report difficulty hearing in background noise. All participants were fit with mild-gain hearing aids, bilaterally, and were asked to wear them for 2 weeks. Hearing handicap, attitudes toward hearing aids and hearing loss, and motivation to address hearing problems were evaluated before and after participants wore the hearing aids. Participants were also asked if they would consider purchasing a hearing aid before and after 2 weeks of hearing aid use. Results After wearing the hearing aids for 2 weeks, hearing handicap scores decreased for the participants who self-reported difficulty hearing in background noise. No changes in hearing handicap scores were observed for the participants who did not self-report trouble hearing in background noise. The participants who self-reported difficulty hearing in background noise also reported greater personal distress from their hearing problems, were more motivated to address their hearing problems, and had higher levels of hearing handicap compared to the participants who did not self-report trouble hearing in background noise. Only 20% (2/10) of the participants who self-reported trouble hearing in background noise reported that they would consider purchasing a hearing aid after 2 weeks of hearing aid use. Conclusions The use of mild-gain hearing aids has the potential to reduce hearing handicap for normal-hearing, middle-age adults who self-report difficulty hearing in background noise. However, this may not be the most appropriate treatment option for their current hearing problems given that only 20% of these participants would consider purchasing a hearing aid after wearing hearing aids for 2 weeks.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the emotional tone and verbal behavior of social media users who self-identified as having tinnitus and/or hyperacusis that caused self-described negative consequences on daily life or health. Research Design and Method An explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized. Two hundred “initial” and 200 “reply” Facebook posts were collected from members of a tinnitus group and a hyperacusis group. Data were analyzed via the LIWC 2015 software program and compared to typical bloggers. As this was an explanatory mixed-methods study, we used qualitative thematic analyses to explain, interpret, and illustrate the quantitative results. Results Overall, quantitative results indicated lower overall emotional tone for all categories (tinnitus and hyperacusis, initial and reply), which was mostly influenced by higher negative emotion. Higher levels of authenticity or truth were found in the hyperacusis sample but not in the tinnitus sample. Lower levels of clout (social standing) were indicated in all groups, and a lower level of analytical thinking style (concepts and complex categories rather than narratives) was found in the hyperacusis sample. Additional analysis of the language indicated higher levels of sadness and anxiety in all groups and lower levels of anger, particularly for initial replies. These data support prior findings indicating higher levels of anxiety and depression in this patient population based on the actual words in blog posts and not from self-report questionnaires. Qualitative results identified 3 major themes from both the tinnitus and hyperacusis texts: suffering, negative emotional tone, and coping strategies. Conclusions Results from this study suggest support for the predominant clinical view that patients with tinnitus and hyperacusis have higher levels of anxiety and depression than the general population. The extent of the suffering described and patterns of coping strategies suggest clinical practice patterns and the need for research in implementing improved practice plans.
