Abstract Objectives Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability and a global public health concern. Studies indicate that pain self-efficacy is associated with the development of disability in chronic LBP (CLBP) patients. The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is a commonly used questionnaire to assess pain self-efficacy in patients with CLBP. It is essential to examine the psychometric properties of the PSEQ in the population in which it is to be used. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and smallest detectable change of the Danish version of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ-DK) in patients with CLBP before implementing it as an outcome measure in an inpatient rehabilitation context. Methods This observational study including 92 patients with CLBP was conducted in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation facility in Denmark. The psychometric properties statistically tested included reliability, smallest detectable change and floor and ceiling effect of the PSEQ-DK. Results The reliability analysis included 92 patients and revealed an weighted kappa of 0.82 (95% Cl 0.75; 0.88) and Intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.83 (95% CI 0.75; 0.88), which corresponds to a good reliability. The smallest detectable change was 12.67. Conclusions The present study demonstrated that the PSEQ-DK had a good reliability in patients with CLBP in an inpatient rehabilitation context. The current results expand our knowledge of the reliability and smallest detectable change of the PSEQ-DK. In order to implement PSEQ-DK in a rehabilitation context for evaluative purposes future studies should focus on examining responsiveness and interpretability.

Background The Anti-Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) is a 17-item, 2-factor (Burdens and Benefits), patient-reported outcome instrument to evaluate patient satisfaction with oral anticoagulant treatment. Objectives This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the English version of the ACTS into Danish and to subsequently validate the Danish version in a population of patients treated with dabigatran etexilate for atrial fibrillation. Methods The ACTS was translated into Danish and culturally adapted. This prospective phase 4 study included 232 respondents who completed the Danish ACTS after 1 month of treatment with dabigatran etexilate for atrial fibrillation. Psychometric properties were evaluated. For test–retest reliability, the ACTS was measured twice, 2 weeks apart, in a subgroup of 50 stable patients. Results Generally, a high level of treatment satisfaction was found. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a suboptimal fit for the two-factor model of the original version. Using modification indices of confirmatory factor analysis, a four-factor model had the best fit. Cronbach's α for internal consistency was acceptable at 0.78. There was good test–retest reliability with intraclass correlation at 0.80. Smallest detectable changes (SDCs) for individual patients were 5.89 points for the total ACTS, 5.57 for the reverse Burdens, and 3.34 for Benefits scores. Group SDCs were 0.39, 0.37, and 0.22 respectively. Substantial ceiling effects limit the ability to detect improvement at the high end of the scale. Conclusion The Danish version of the ACTS has inadequate structural validity. Reliability was acceptable. Ceiling effects challenge detection of improvement of treatment satisfaction in clinical practice in this patient population.

Abstract Background Understanding and utilizing health information has become increasingly demanding whereby people's health literacy becomes important. European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16) measures health literacy (HL). We aimed to study the psychometric properties of the Danish version in the general population and a population with coronary artery disease. Methods A national, cross-sectional survey of individuals from the general Danish population and patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI) was conducted. The general population sample consisted of 7,653 individuals. The MI sample of 4,440 individuals had previously been hospitalized with MI. To assess the influence of large sample sizes, we examined five randomly drawn subsamples of 500 from each population. The Rasch analysis was conducted using RUMM-2030 consisting of inspection of unidimensionality, local dependency, Differential item Functioning (DIF), and item fit. Results The results are preliminary and analyses still ongoing. The HLS-EU-Q16 did not fit the Rasch model, neither for the total sample, subsamples, the general population sample, nor for the MI sample. For the MI sample, there were signs of local dependence and item 6 had the largest item misfit. DIF was observed for item 6 and 7 (age and gender). The general population sample also showed signs of local dependence, and item 1 indicated the largest item misfit. DIF was observed for item 1 (age) and item 1, 7, 8, 13 and 16 (gender). Conclusions The Danish version of HLS-EU-Q16 did not fit the Rasch model neither in the general population sample nor for the MI sample. Our large population-based study indicated scalability problems of the HLS-EU-Q16. The validation procedure is a step on the path to ensure the use of valid measures of HL in both populations and patient groups to support the raising awareness of HL as a necessary element to ensure equity in our health system and thereby initiating an urgent public health activity. Key messages We studied the construct validity of the Danish version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire HLS-EU-Q16 with a Rasch model. Our large population-based study indicate problems with the psychometric properties of the current Danish version of the HLS-EU-Q16.
