Background: Peristomal skin disorders are common problem. In respect of studies related to incidence of peristomal skin complication 12 to 76% of ostomy patients experience some type of peristomal skin problems. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore Turkish validity and reliability of Ostomy Skin Tool (OST). Methods: This is a methodological study planned to evaluate Turkish reliability and validity of OST. The OST consists of two parts. The first part of this tool is DET (Discolouration, Erosion, Tissue overgrowth) score tool, and second part is AIM (Assessment, Intervention and Monitoring) guide. For the DET Score tool reliability and validity, thirty peristomal skin photographs obtained from a stoma care unit archives were presented twice to two ostomy care nurses to determine intra and inter nurse assessment variability. For the AIM guide validity, content validity index calculated according to Lawshe’s content validity ratio. Results: The inter nurse agreement and the intra nurse agreement evaluated with Linear Weighting Kappa. According to the inter nurse assessment, there was a moderate to a substantial agreement (0,51-0,77). According to intra nurse assessment there was a perfect agreement (0,83-1). AIM Guide content validity index was found 0.99. According to this ratio, there is an agreement between experts and all the items were found essential. Conclusions: The Ostomy Skin Tool is valid and reliable tool. Implications for Practice: Turkish version of OST could provide a richer contribition to the assessment and intervention of peristomal skin condition in all settings to the ostomy care nurses.

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.

Intrauterine Wachstumsretardierung

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Einleitung Der „Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire“ von Claas Wijma et al. (W-DEQ_A), der in der Schwangerschaft international am häufigsten zur Bestimmung von großer Angst vor der Geburt eingesetzt wird, lag bisher nicht in der deutschen Sprache vor. Angst vor der Geburt wird in europäischen Ländern, Canada, Australien und den USA mit einer Prävalenz von 6,3% bis 14,8% angegeben. Insbesondere bei Frauen mit Angst vor der Geburt sind die Risiken für eine Präeklampsie, intrauterine Wachstumsretardierung und Kaiserschnitte erhöht. Methode Eine von Claas Wijma autorisierte englische Fassung des W-DEQ_A wurde entsprechend der Richtlinie von Ohrbach et al. (INfORM) sprachlich übersetzt und kulturell adaptiert. Die Inhaltsvalidität wurde statistisch durch die Scale-Content Validity Index/Average Methode (S-CVI/Ave) bestimmt. Ergebnisse Die einer unabhängigen Begutachtung unterzogenen übersetzten Textteile des W-DEQ_A belegten die sprachliche und kulturelle Validität. Eine einleitende Frage und drei Items mussten erneut übersetzt werden. Darüber hinaus war eine Änderung der Formulierung bei drei weiteren Items notwendig, um eine kulturelle Äquivalenz zu erreichen. Die errechnete Inhaltsvalidität ergab einen „exzellenten“ S-CVI/Ave von 0,91. Schlussfolgerung Als Fragebogen zur Selbsteinschätzung mit dem Titel „Gedanken und Gefühle schwangerer Frauen im Hinblick auf die bevorstehende Geburt“ liegt der W-DEQ_A nun in Deutsch vor. In Form einer digitalen Gesundheits-App könnte der Fragebogen verschrieben und das Ergebnis direkt in die elektronische Patientenakte übernommen werden.

The HIV/AIDS pandemic is posing major challenges to all sectors in South Africa, including the health sector of the city of Johannesburg. The health sector of the city of Johannesburg, as a result of the pandemic, is faced with increasing demands on its scarce resources at a time of major reform at local government level including transformation of the health sector. The overall objective of the study is to explore and describe a strategy for the management of HIV/AIDS by the health sector of the city of Johannesburg. An exploratory, descriptive and quantitative research design was utilized and the UNAIDS “Guide to the strategic planning process for a national response to HIV/AIDS” (1998), was employed to formulate the strategy. The content validity of the strategy was determined according to the process originally described by Lynn (1986) and adopted by Muller (in Booyens, 1998:607-609). The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase, the developmental phase, involved the exploration and description of the theoretical framework and the response to the pandemic, and formulation of a draft strategy. The second phase, the quantification phase, involved the assertion of the content of the strategy by a group of experts and determination of the content validity index (CV1). The final strategy focused on the following: to lead and facilitate intersectoral collaboration; to strengthen primary health care services to provide comprehensive community-based care; prevention of new infections; community mobilization towards prevention, non-discrimination and non stigmatization and empowerment of the health sector to deal with the AIDS .pandemic. The CVI results showed that the average content validity index determined during this study was adequate: full score (1.0) for acceptability and technical soundness, and 0.89 for feasibility and perceived affordability. The strategy formulated for the management of HI V/A1DS by the health sector of the city of Johannesburg is therefore acceptable, technically sound and feasible and perceived as affordable. It was finally recommended that the strategy be adopted for implementation within the health sector of the city of Johannesburg.

AbstractObjectiveTo translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically evaluate the Spanish version of the “Scale for End-of Life Caregiving Appraisal” (SEOLCAS).MethodObservational cross-sectional study. Convenience sample of 201 informal end-of-life caregivers recruited in a southern Spanish hospital. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed through its internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and temporal stability (Pearson's correlation coefficient [r] between test-retest). The content validity index of the items and the scale was calculated. Criterion validity was explored through performing a linear regression analysis to evaluate the SEOLCAS’ predictive validity. Exploratory factor analysis was used to examine its construct validity.ResultsThe SEOLCAS’ reliability was very high (Cronbach's α = 0.92). Its content validity was excellent (all items’ content validity index = 0.8–1; scale's validity index = 0.88). Evidence of the SEOLCAS’ criterion validity showed that the participants’ scores on the SEOLCAS explained approximately 79.3% of the between-subject variation of their results on the Zarit Burden Interview. Exploratory factor analysis provided evidence of the SEOLCAS’ construct validity. This analysis revealed that two factors (“internal contingencies” and “external contingencies”) explained 53.77% of the total variance found and reflected the stoic Hispanic attitude toward adversity.Significance of resultsThe Spanish version of the SEOLCAS has shown to be an easily applicable, valid, reliable, and culturally appropriate tool to measure the impact of end-of-life care provision on Hispanic informal caregivers. This tool offers healthcare professionals the opportunity to easily explore Hispanic informal end-of-life caregivers’ experiences and discover the type of support they may need (instrumental or emotional) even when there are communicational and organizational constraints.
