Abstract:
Neurological disorders are a heterogeneous group of central or peripheral nervous disorders of which the main symptoms include impaired walking and balance. One of the main interventions for neurological disorders is the use of assistive devices, and it is necessary to consider the psychosocial effects of these devices on users. The psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS) were evaluated in patients with neurological disorders. After translating the scale into Persian based on IQULA, face and content validity were determined. The divergent validity of the scale was examined through its relationship with the Orthotics and Prosthetics Users\' Survey (OPUS). Reliability of the tool was evaluated using an internal consistency and test-retest method over two weeks with 50 patients with neurological disorders and a history of using assistive devices for at least six months. The face and content validity of the PIADS was confirmed. The ICC for all subscales was higher than 0.78, which indicates a good correlation. However, the divergent validity of the scale with the OPUS scale was not confirmed. The Persian version of PIADS is a valid and reliable measure for patients with neurological disorders in Iran.
摘要:
神经系统疾病是一组异质性的中枢或外周神经疾病,其主要症状包括行走和平衡受损。神经系统疾病的主要干预措施之一是使用辅助设备,有必要考虑这些设备对用户的社会心理影响。在神经系统疾病患者中评估了波斯语版本的辅助设备心理社会影响量表(PIADS)的心理测量特性。根据IQULA将量表翻译成波斯语后,票面和内容效度进行了测定。通过与矫形器和假肢用户调查(OPUS)的关系来检查该量表的差异有效性。使用内部一致性和重测方法在两周内对50名患有神经系统疾病且使用辅助设备至少六个月的患者进行了评估,评估了该工具的可靠性。确认了PIADS的面形和内容有效性。所有分量表的ICC均高于0.78,这表明相关性良好。然而,该量表与OPUS量表的差异有效性未得到证实.波斯语版本的PIADS是伊朗神经系统疾病患者的有效且可靠的措施。
