Toma De Decisiones

El objetivo del estudio es diseñar y validar una herramienta de evaluación para squash, para ello se parte del instrumento en tenis de McPherson y French (1991). La Herramienta de Evaluación del Rendimiento en Squash (HERS) se configuró con tres factores: principios tácticos, toma de decisiones y ejecución de destrezas motrices para los gestos técnico-tácticos del resto al servicio y la dejada. La incorporación de los principios tácticos aporta la contextualización ecológica del deporte, respondiendo al requisito de evaluar la toma de decisiones y el rendimiento en contextos reales: en condiciones in situ y con tareas experimentales representativas. Los resultados obtenidos en 12 jugadores en la HERS presentan una fiabilidad inter-observador para jugadores expertos de un alfa de Cronbach de .787 para la dejada y .878 para el resto; en jugadores novatos un alfa de Cronbach de .916 para la dejada y .918 para el resto. La fiabilidad en la estabilidad del instrumento es de un alfa de Cronbach de .903 en el resto y .887 en la dejada. La HERS tiene una validez de contenido adecuada, mediante la valoración positiva de seis expertos externos. La validez de criterio es óptima, pues está orientada a la predicción, ya que el criterio es el nivel de pericia y el rendimiento en situación de juego real. Como conclusión se la nueva herramienta de evaluación es válida e innovadora, pues permite medir in situ diferentes contextos o niveles de pericia en la toma de decisiones y la ejecución para mejorar el rendimiento deportivo.Palabras clave. evaluación de habilidades, tareas experimentales representativas, principios tácticos, rendimiento de juego, niveles de pericia.Abstract. This research aims to design and validate, in the Squash players, the McPherson and French ‘Components of Real Play in Tennis Encoding Instrument´ (1991). The new ‘Performance Assessment Tool in Squash´ (SPET) was configured by three factors: tactical principles, decision making and execution of motor skills for technical-tactical gestures of returning of the serve and the drop shot in situation of real game. The incorporation of tactical principles of game provides an ecological contextualization of sport, responding to the requirement to assess decision-making and performance in sport contexts: representative experimental tasks in situ conditions. The 12 players in the HERS results show inter-observer reliability: in expert players have a Cronbach’s Alpha .787 for the drop out gesture and .878 for the return gesture; in rookie players are a Cronbach’s Alpha of .916 for drop out gesture and .918 for the return gesture. The reliability, in the stability of the instrument, achieves a Cronbach’s Alpha of .903 at drop out gesture and .887 on the return gesture. The SPET has an adequate content validity, by the positive assessment of six external experts. It has an adequate criterion validity oriented to the prediction, since, in the study; the criterion comes from the level of expertise and the performance in real game situation. It has been developed an assessment tool valid and innovative, which allows measuring, in a closest procedure to the Ecological Systems, players from different contexts or expertise levels related to the decision-making and the implementation towards the improvement of performance.Keywords. skills evaluation, sport actions in situ conditions, tactical principles, game performance, expertise levels.

Anak penderita Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) di Indonesia memperlihatkan tren yang semakin meningkat karena meningkatnya proporsi perempuan terinfeksi HIV/AIDS. Pertimbangan pada dampak besar yang dihadapi anak penderita HIV mendorong kebutuhan pengembangan instrumen khusus untuk mengukur kualitas hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan instrumen kualitas hidup anak penderita AIDS dengan memodifikasi instrumenyang ada sesuai dengan konteks Indonesia. Pada penelitian ini ditemukan hasil bahwa instrumen yang dikembangkan mempunyai reliabilitas yang cukup baik pada balita dan anak usia 5 – 11 tahun. Nilai reliabilitas (Cronbach’s Alpha) balita, domain fungsi fisik, fungsi sosial, dan gejala HIV masing masing adalah 0,71; 0,72; dan 0,88, sedangkan pada anak 5 – 11 tahun, domain fungsi-fungsi fisik, psikologis, sosial, sekolah, dan gejala terkait HIV masing-masing 0,76; 0,89; 0,67; 0,67; dan 0,88. Penelitian ini menunjukkan untuk konteks Indonesia, nilai ambang batas CD4 yang menunjukkan perbedaan kualitas hidup adalah 15%. Pada balita, dari berbagai ketiga domain, hanya domain gejala terkait HIV yang cukup sensitif untuk mendeteksi perbedaan kualitas hidup anak, sementara pada anak 5 – 11 hanya domain fungsi fisik dan fungsi psikologis yang cukup sensitif untuk mendeteksi perbedaan kualitas hidup anak. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dampak HIV pada anak masih terkonsentrasi pada gangguan fungsi fisik, fungsi psikologis, dan gejala terkait HIV.Kata kunci: Instrumen pengukuran, anak terinfeksi HIV, kualitas hidupAbstractChildren with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia are increasing due to the increase of woman with HIV. A special instrument for measuring quality of life (QoL) of children with HIV is needed to be developed as the great impact of the infection to children. This study was conducted by modifying the existing QoL instrument of children for Indonesian context. The study indicated that thereliability of the instrument is quite good both for children under 5 and 5 – 11 years old. Reliability values (Cronbach’s Alpha) for under 5, domains of physical function, social function, and HIV-related symptoms are 71, 72, and 88 respectively while for children 5 – 11 years old, domains of physical, psychological, social, and school functions, and HIV-related symptoms are 76, 89, 67, 67, and 88 respectively. The study showed, for Indonesian context, 15% of CD4 is indicated as the threshold to detect the difference of QoL forchildren with HIV. However, for under 5 years old, only questions of HIV-related symptoms domain which is sensitive to detect difference QoL, whereas for children of 5 – 11 years old, the questions concerning physical and psychological domains which are sensitive to detect difference QoL. The study indicated that the impact of HIV on children is mostly on physical andpsychological functions and HIV-related symptoms.Key words: Measurement instrument, children with HIV, quality of life

Background: Speech and Language Therapy is an established profession in many countries of the world but still very new in Bangladesh. There is no culturally appropriate adult assessment tool for assessing patient with Apraxia in Bangladesh and has no alternative tool in own language to assess and diagnose patient with apraxia. Objectives: The aim of the study was cultural adaptation of Apraxia Battery for assessing the patient with Apraxia. Methodology: A total of nineteen people diagnosed with apraxia of speech, within the age from 37 to 80 years, participated in this study. The investigator was used quantitative (item analysis, validity determination and reliability determination) and qualitative (observation and focus group discussion) method for the adaptation procedure. After observation and focus group discussion the investigator received concern from the panel of expert for conducting the pilot study. After find out the pilot study result the investigator conducted test and retest. The result was discussed changing forward translation, changing pilot study and test retest findings. The pilot study was examined in a sample of eight apraxia patients. The interval between five days the test and retest reliability was examined in a sample of eleven apraxia patients. Using the Cronbach’s alpha, examined the internal consistency and intra-class correlation for test retest reliability. Results: After modification of ABA-2 tool, the pilot study showed that the ABA-2 tool was in culturally appropriate in Bangladesh for apraxia patient. The test reliability for Diadochokinetic Rate, Increasing word length   (Part A), Increasing word length   (Part B), Limb Apraxia, Oral Apraxia, Latency Time for polysyllabic word, Utterance Time for polysyllabic word and Repeated Trials sub-tests appear to be satisfactory as researchers claim that Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging between .8143 and 0.9006 indicate good to excellent reliability. And the retest reliability for these subtests Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging between 0.7898 and 0.9095 indicate acceptable to excellent reliability. The intra-class consistency for all subtest of the test and retest was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha =0.9478 to 0.9917). Conclusion: This study suggests that valid assessment of apraxia patient using the ABA-2 assessment tool. The modified ABA-2 assessment tool is feasible for assessing the patient with apraxia in content of Bangladesh. The test retest result also showed that the ABA-2 assessment tool was reliable in culturally. ABA-2 is reliable and valid instrument for evaluating the patients with apraxia. This assessment tools also help Speech and Language Therapists to assess and diagnose the patient with apraxia.

ABSTRACT Purpose To translate and adapt the assessment tool Language Use Inventory from English to Brazilian Portuguese. Methods The study was carried out in two stages. Once the publisher’s authorization was given, the process of translation and back-translation of the protocol was initiated, adapting it to sociocultural aspects, such as expressions, names, and adequate examples in Brazilian Portuguese. In order to investigate the internal reliability of the translation process, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used. The second stage was a pilot study, in which the questionnaire was applied to 43 parents of children from 24 to 47 months old from a city in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The results were analyzed according to the total score and to the subscales of the questionnaire. The variables age range and parental level of education were also analyzed. Results The analysis using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient showed high internal consistency (α>0,98) in almost all the subscales which means that the instrument adapted to Brazilian Portuguese can be used. In the pilot study, an age effect was found in the total score and in the LUI subscale scores, i.e., the older the children, the fewer gestures they used, with more words and syntactic constructions. Conclusion The Brazilian-Portuguese version of the LUI questionnaire seems to be a reliable translation of the original and a reliable instrument to evaluate preschoolers’ language pragmatics. After future detailed analyses, it will allow early diagnosis and intervention in children with language disorders.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a survey instrument capable of measuring eating and food literacy behaviors in young adult university students. Methods This study had a cross-sectional design and used an online survey for data collection. Participants included a convenience sample of free-living young adult university students aged 18 to 30 years attending a large public university in the southeastern United States. Descriptive information including age, gender, and race/ethnicity was collected. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), Cronbach's alpha coefficients, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to develop and validate the instrument. Results Data from 257 students were analyzed in the EFA. Most of the respondents were white (65.8%) and female (65.6%). The mean age of respondents was 20.0 ± 3.4 years. The EFA returned five factors that explained 57.4% of the total variance suggesting acceptable internal structure. Cronbach's alpha values were: 0.89 = health and nutrition, 0.72 = taste, 0.77 = food preparation, 0.64 = planning and decision making, and 0.63 = convenience. Data from 923 students were used in the CFA. Most of the respondents were white (76.4%) and female (50.3%). The mean age of respondents was 20.6 ± 1.8 years. A CFA confirmed that the 5-factor model was an appropriate fit for the data (Chi-squared = 588.05 (142), RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.97, SRMR = 0.05). Conclusions These results suggest that the proposed questionnaire is capable of measuring young adult university students’ eating and food literacy behaviors as they relate to health/nutrition, taste, food preparation, planning and decision making, and convenience.

Abstract Background The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) is a 27-item competency assessment tool that was developed to support UK ERCP training. We evaluated validity of ERCP DOPS and competency development during training. Methods This prospective study analyzed ERCP DOPS performed in the UK between July 2016 and October 2018. Reliability was measured using Cronbach’s alpha, and DOPS scores were benchmarked using the contrasting groups method. The percentage of competent scores was averaged for each item, domain, and overall rating, and stratified by lifetime procedure count to evaluate learning curves. Multivariable analyses were performed to identify predictors of DOPS competence. Results 818 DOPS (109 trainees, 80 UK centers) were analyzed. Overall Cronbach’s alpha was 0.961. Attaining competency in 87 % of assessed DOPS items provided the optimal competency benchmark. This was achieved in the domain sequence of: pre-procedure, post-procedure management, endoscopic non-technical skills, cannulation & imaging, and execution of selected therapy, and across all items after 200 – 249 procedures (89 %). After 300 procedures, the benchmark was reached for selective cannulation (89 %), but not for stenting (plastic 73 %; metal 70 %), sphincterotomy (80 %), and sphincteroplasty (56 %). On multivariable analysis, lifetime procedure count (P = 0.002), easier case difficulty (P < 0.001), trainee grade (P = 0.03), and higher lifetime DOPS count (P = 0.01) were predictors of DOPS competence. Conclusion This study provides novel validity, reliability, and learning curve data for ERCP DOPS. Trainees should have a minimum of 300 hands-on ERCP procedures before undertaking summative assessment for independent practice.

Background:In the literature, there is a lack of questionnaires, which is evaluate patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) from a biopsychosocial perspective.Objectives:This study was planned to examine the reliability and validity of the BETY- Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BQ) in individuals diagnosed with PsA.Methods:Test-retest method was used to examine the reliability of the BETY-BQ. In comparing the reliability of test-retest results, intraclass coefficient (ICC) was checked. For the internal consistency analysis of the BETY-BQ, the total score of the responses given to the first filled scale was calculated and the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was found. Psoriatic Arthritis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PsAQoL), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) were used in the validity study of 150 individuals with PsA included in the study.Results:Test-retest method and intraclass coefficient were examined for reliability analysis (for 30 patients). The correlation (r = 0.844, p <0.001) of the answers given to the BETY-BQ by individuals with 30 PsA after one week interval was very high. While the ICC coefficient (0.915, p <0.001) showed excellent reliability. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient (0.940) was examined for internal consistency and the internal consistency of the scale was also found to be excellent. As a result of statistical analysis, the correlation between the scales used and the BETY-BQ was found between r = -0.432 and 0.807 (p <0.001).Conclusion:With this study, it was concluded that the BETY-BQ is a reliable and valid assessment tool in individuals diagnosed with PsA, and is also a biopsychosocial tool that can be used to evaluate individuals with PsA.References:[1]Unal E, Arin G, Karaca Nb, Kiraz S, Akdoğan A, Kalyoncu U, et al.

Number of active smokers in Malaysia is increasing despite availability of stop smoking clinics and smoking cessation medications. Thus, the practice of the healthcare professionals involved in providing smoking cessation intervention using evidence-based guidelines needs to be assessed using validated assessment tool. Newly invented reliable and valid questionnaire locally is needed. This study aimed to develop and validate a newly modified questionnaire to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical doctors based on national smoking cessation guidelines and factors contributing to the score. The 22 items consists of mixture of true/false choice questions and Likert scaling response based on domain of 5A’s (ask, assess, advice, assist, arrange) and 5R’s (relevant, risks, rewards, roadblocks, repetitions) of the national stop-smoking guideline. The questionnaires were distributed to 131 primary care doctors. Reliability was determined using Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency while construct validity was assessed using factor analysis. A high degree of internal consistency was observed for this 22 items (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.87), with good knowledge subscale (0.72), attitude subscale (0.58) and practice subscale (0.92). Factor analysis showed five meaningful components which represent the smoking cessation framework. This study indicates that this questionnaire is reliable and valid tool to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice on stop smoking guidelines compared to previous questionnaire.
