Bachmann L, Ødegård A, Mundal IP. A comprehensive examination of research instruments utilized for assessing the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards the use of restraints in mental healthcare: A systematic review. J Adv Nurs 2024; 80:2728-2745. [PMID: 38093475 DOI: 10.1111/jan.16015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
AIM This systematic review aimed to identify, describe and evaluate questionnaires measuring health professionals' attitudes towards restraints in mental healthcare. DESIGN A systematic review was undertaken in accordance with the COSMIN protocol for systematic review and the relevant sections of the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. DATA SOURCES OVID Medline, OVID nursing, Psychinfo, Embase and Cinahl were systematically searched from databases inception, with an initial search in December 2021 and updated in April 2022. REVIEW METHODS The inclusion criteria compromised articles reporting on self-reported instruments of attitudes or perceptions, development or validation of instruments and the evaluation of one or more measurement properties. Articles using multiple instruments in one study or not published in English were excluded. Two researchers independently extracted the data and appraised the methodological quality using the COSMIN guidelines and standards (consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instrument). A narrative synthesis without meta-analysis was performed. The systematic review was registered in PROSPERO Protocol ID CRD42022308818. RESULTS A total of 23 studies reporting ten instruments were included. The findings revealed a broad variation in the content of the questionnaires, the use of terms/constructs and the context in which the various instruments measure attitudes towards coercive measures. Many studies lacked sufficient details on report of psychometric properties. Finally, the results were not summarized and the evidence not GRADED. CONCLUSIONS There is a need for updated and adapted instruments with origins in theory and clear joint definitions such that attitudes towards coercive measures can be reliably assessed regarding the validity and reliability of instruments, which will be of importance to facilitate the use of instruments in research and clinical settings. IMPACT Reviews addressing surveys, self-reported attitudes towards restraints in mental healthcare and examination of psychometric properties seem limited. We highlight distinct complexity, psychometric limitations and broad variation in the context and content measuring attitudes towards coercive measures, and their various use of terms/constructs in the existing questionnaires. These findings contribute to further research regarding the development of questionnaires and the need of representing the concept well - carefully denoted by the indicators, likewise the importance of applying questionnaires with properly reported measurement properties in terms of validity and reliability to ensure the use in research and clinical settings.

[PMID: 38797927 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.17293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a subjective experience, and can only be assessed by patient-reported outcomes. These instruments should be reliable, valid and responsive. AIM To identify and critically appraise the available evidence for the measurement properties of specific patient-reported outcome measures used for dysmenorrhea. METHODS The PRISMA statement was used to report this systematic review. Databases searched were PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar (April 2021; updated on February 2023). Original studies with primary data collection, with no restriction on language and publication date that reported psychometric properties of one or more dysmenorrhea-related patient-reported outcome measure. The literature searches, selection of studies, data extraction and assessment of the risk of bias were performed independently by two reviewers and followed the COSMIN guidelines. RESULTS Thirty studies were analysed in this review, and 19 patient-reported outcome measures were evaluated. The instruments varied in relation to the measured construct and measurement properties (validity, reliability and responsiveness). The methodological quality of the studies and the quality of evidence of the patient-reported outcome measures were variable. Among the 13 studies that reported the development of patient-reported outcome measures, most had inadequate methodological quality, and the overall rating was insufficient or inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS The Dysmenorrhea Symptom Interference (DSI) scale was the only identified patient-reported outcome measure that has the potential to be recommended because of its sufficient rating combined with moderate quality of evidence for content validity. Future studies should further evaluate the measurement properties of the existing patient-reported outcome measures, or develop new patient-reported outcome measures following the COSMIN methodology. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Not applicable as this is a systematic review. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO protocol: CRD42021244410. Registration on April 22, 2021.

Systematic reviews and quality assessment of patient-reported outcome measures for physical function in comparative effectiveness studies regarding acute postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty-Do we need to start all over again? Eur J Pain 2024. [PMID: 38623029 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Recently, a consensus process specified a core outcome set (COS) of domains to be assessed in each comparative effectiveness research and clinical practice related to acute postoperative pain. Physical function (PF) was one of these domains. The aim of this review was to investigate which patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used to assess PF after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in clinical trials and if they fulfil basic requirements for a COS of PROMs based on their psychometric properties. METHODS A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and observational studies based on a search in MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL was undertaken. PROMs and performance measures were extracted and investigated, including evaluation of psychometric properties of PROMs based on COSMIN recommendations. RESULTS From initially 2896 identified records, 479 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Only 87 of these trials (18%) assessed PF using PROMs, whereas especially performance outcome measures were used in 470 studies (98%). Application of the 'COSMIN Risk-of-Bias-Box 1' to 13 of the 14 identified PROMs resulted in insufficient content validity of the included PROMs regarding the target population based on the inauguration or development articles. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that a patient-centred postoperative assessment of PF in pain-related clinical trials early after TKA is not common, even though patient-reported assessment is widely recommended. In addition, none of the applied PROMs shows content validity based on their inauguration or development articles for the assessment of postoperative pain-related PF after TKA. SIGNIFICANCE A systematic search for patient-reported outcome measures assessing postoperative, pain-related physical function after total knee arthroplasty in clinical trials and assessment of their content validity revealed none that fulfilled requirements based on COSMIN recommendations.

J Clin Nurs 2024; 33:911-931. [PMID: 37926938 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM To identify scales that assess parental stress in the paediatric clinical population and to analyse their psychometric properties. METHODS Four electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus) and metasearch engines (Google Scholar and Open Grey) were searched with no time period limitations. Methodological quality was assessed using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) and quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach modified by COSMIN. Finally, recommendations were made for the instruments with the highest quality of evidence. RESULTS A total of 38 studies reporting on 11 different instruments for assessing parental stress in the paediatric clinical setting were included. Six instruments were 'A' rated (recommended) in the final phase in line with COSMIN guidelines. The Paediatric Inventory for Parents was the instrument that evaluated the highest number of psychometric properties and obtained the highest methodological quality, global assessment, and quality of evidence for the different psychometric properties. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides an overview of the measurement properties of the parental stress instruments used in the paediatric clinical setting. The Paediatric Inventory for Parents stands out as being one of the most robust instruments for measuring stress in parents with a hospitalised or sick child. Evidence needs to be generated for all the parental stress scales used in the clinical setting. IMPACT Given that the psychometric properties of the existing parental stress scales used in paediatric health care settings have not been systematically assessed, the present review utilised comprehensive methods according to COSMIN. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION REPORTING METHOD: PRISMA statement and COSMIN reporting guidelines for studies on measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate and synthesize psychometric properties of the MOS-SSS and to identify quality versions of MOS-SSS for use in future research and practice. DESIGN A psychometric systematic review. DATA SOURCES Articles about the translation, adaptation, or validation of the MOS-SSS in Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science and their reference lists published before 11 November 2022. REVIEW METHODS The review followed the Consensus Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments guidelines. RESULTS The review included 35 articles. Eleven versions of MOS-SSS (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, and 22 items) have been validated in various populations and 13 languages. Of 14 studies developing a translated version of MOS-SSS, four studies performed both an experts' evaluation of content validity and a face validity test; two studies reported translation evaluation in the form of a content validity index. Of 35 studies, six performed both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis for structural validity; hypotheses and measurements for construct validity testings were often not clearly stated; two examined criterion validity; and four assessed cross-cultural validity. Internal consistency reliabilities were commonly examined by calculating Cronbach's alpha and reported satisfactory. Five studies analysed test-retest reliabilities using intra correlation coefficient. Methodological concerns exist. CONCLUSION The English 19-item, Farsi Persian 19-item, and Vietnamese 19-item versions are recommended for future use in research and practice. Italian 19-item and Malaysian 13-item versions are not recommended to be used in future research and practice. All other versions considered in this review have potential use in future research and practice. Proper procedures for developing a translated version of MOS-SSS and validating the scale are recommended. IMPACT The review identified quality versions of MOS-SSS to measure social support in future research and practice. The study also indicated methodological issues in current validation studies. Application of the study findings and recommendations can be useful to improve outcome measurement quality and maximize the efficiency of resource use in future research and practice. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION This systematic review synthesized the evidence from previous research and did not involve any human participation.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To identify available instruments for assessing cancer patients' spiritual needs and to examine their psychometric properties using the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology. BACKGROUND Cancer patients frequently have significant spiritual needs. The nurse plays an integral role in assessing the patient's spiritual needs as part of providing holistic care. It is crucial to assess these needs using appropriate and reliable instruments. DESIGN A systematic review based on COSMIN methodology. METHODS Seven electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, ProQuest, CNKI and WANFANG) were systematically searched from inception until 14 February 2023. Two authors independently screened eligible literature, extracted data and evaluated methodological and psychometric quality. This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA checklist. RESULTS Sixteen studies have reported 16 different versions of the instruments. None of the instruments were properly assessed for all psychometric properties, nor were measurement error, responsiveness and cross-cultural validity/measurement invariance reported. All of the instruments failed to meet the COSMIN quality criteria for content validity. The quality of evidence for structural validity and/or internal consistency in five instruments did not meet the COSMIN criteria. Eventually, five instruments were not recommended, and 11 were only weakly recommended. CONCLUSION Instruments to assess spiritual needs exhibited limited reliability and validity. The Spiritual Care Needs Scale is provisionally recommended for research and clinical settings, but its limitations regarding content validity and cross-cultural application must be considered in practice. Future research should further revise the content of available instruments and comprehensively and correctly test their psychometric properties. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The review findings will provide evidence for healthcare professionals to select instruments for recognising spiritual needs in cancer patients. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION This study is a systematic review with no patient or public participation.

[PMID: 37226570 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
AIM To develop and validate a culturally appropriate patient-reported outcome measure for measuring dignity for older adults during acute hospitalization. DESIGN A three-phased exploratory sequential mixed-method design was used. METHODS Domains were identified and items were generated from findings of a recent qualitative study, two systematic reviews and grey literature. Content validity evaluation and pre-testing were undertaken using standard instrument development techniques. Two-hundred and seventy hospitalized older adults were surveyed to test construct and convergent validity, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability of the measure. Analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 25. The STROBE checklist was used to document reporting of the study. RESULTS We established the 15-item Hospitalized Older Adults' Dignity Scale (HOADS) that has a 5-factor structure: shared decision-making (3 items); healthcare professional-patient communication (3 items); patient autonomy (4 items); patient privacy (2 items); respectful care (3 items). Excellent content validity, adequate construct and convergent validity, acceptable internal consistency reliability and good test-retest reliability were demonstrated. CONCLUSION We established the HOADS is a valid and reliable scale to measure dignity for older adults during acute hospitalization. Future studies using confirmatory factor analysis are needed to corroborate the dimensionality of the factor structure and external validity of the scale. Routine use of the scale may inform the development of strategies to improve dignity-related care in the future. IMPACT The development and validation of the HOADS will provide nurses and other healthcare professionals with a feasible and reliable scale for measuring older adults' dignity during acute hospitalization. The HOADS advances the conceptual understanding of dignity in hospitalized older adults by including additional constructs that have not been captured in previous dignity-related measures for older adults (i.e. shared decision-making and respectful care). The factor structure of the HOADS, therefore, includes five domains of dignity and offers a new opportunity for nurses and other healthcare professionals to better understand the nuances of dignity for older adults during acute hospitalization. For example, the HOADS enables nurses to identify differences in levels of dignity based on contextual factors and to use this information to guide the implementation of strategies that promote dignified care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Patients were involved in the generation of items for the scale. Their perspectives and the perspectives of experts were sought in determining the relevance of each item of the scale to patients' dignity.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to validate the Iranian translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Student Survey on Writing Nursing Care Plan (SSW-NCP). BACKGROUND To provide supporting evidence about the nursing students' skill in planning and documenting nursing care plans based on nursing process, Salvador et al. developed the SSW-NCP to measure the extent to which nursing students are qualified in writing nursing care plans. However, an Iranian version of the SSW-NCP is presently not available. METHOD The cross-cultural adaptation and linguistic translation of the SSW-NCP adhered to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The reliability and validity process followed the COSMIN checklist. RESULTS The survey was well translated to Persian language and culturally adapted through confirming the relevancy, appropriateness and logical representation of all aspects on nursing process by bilingual experts and pre-tested on Persian-speaking nursing students. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient (α) and test-retest stability assessing affirmed the reliability, and convergent validity of the adapted survey was confirmed through comparison to Influencing Factors of Nursing Students' Clinical Judgment (IFNSCJ). The adaptation process of the SSW-NCP resulted in a conceptually equivalent translated version, which is comparable to the original version and is acceptably valid and reliable. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Knowing the proficiency of nursing students as future nurses in writing nursing care plans can provide accurate professional information for better educational and practical level programming and management that can enhance nursing practice. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION The target group of survey was nursing students who contributed and participated in the current study.

J Adv Nurs 2023; 79:2136-2147. [PMID: 36814363 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the patient-reported outcome measure assessing self-efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and recommend the most robust measurement. DESIGN A systematic review of psychometric properties. DATA SOURCES We performed systematic electronic searches in the following databases from inception to 26 May 2022: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO via OVID. REVIEW METHOD This review evaluated the tools' quality in accordance with the Selection of Consensus-Based Health Measurement Instruments 2018 system Evaluation guidelines. RESULTS Three patient-reported outcome measures were identified in the five included studies. The "IBD-yourself" questionnaire revealed very low evidence for a sufficient hypothesis test for construct validity, moderate evidence for insufficient internal consistency, and very low evidence for uncertain measurement error. Evidence from Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale validated internal consistency, structural validity, criterion validity, and hypothesis test for construct validity. However, evidence of moderate quality corroborated this reliability. The Adolescents and Young Adults Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale demonstrated very low evidence for sufficient internal consistency, moderate evidence for a sufficient hypothesis test for construct and content validity, and very low evidence for uncertain reliability. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the other two measures, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale has higher quality evidence of higher overall ratings for some of its psychometric properties, but there were some methodological problems that must be further studied to determine their quality. IMPACT It is uncertain whether a scale to assess self-efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease has good measurement performance in clinical applications. This study first presents the methodological quality and psychometric properties of the self-efficacy scale used to assess patients with inflammatory bowel disease, which is based on the Consensus-Based Health Measurement Instruments standard. This study can help researchers and physicians decide which scale is the most suitable and reliable for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Because this was a systematic review based on synthesizing information from previous studies, no human participants were included.

Eskolin SE, Inkeroinen S, Leino-Kilpi H, Virtanen H. Instruments for measuring empowering patient education competence of nurses: Systematic review. J Adv Nurs 2023. [PMID: 36808623 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
AIM This review aimed to identify validated self-reported instruments used to measure nurses' competence or attribute(s) of competence in empowering patient education, to describe their development and main content and critically appraise and summarize the quality of the instruments. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases of PubMed, CINAHL and ERIC were searched from January 2000 to May 2022. REVIEW METHODS Data was extracted following predetermined inclusion criteria. With the support of the research group, two researchers performed data selection and appraised the methodological quality using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement INstruments checklist (COSMIN). RESULTS A total of 19 studies reporting 11 instruments were included. The instruments measured varied attributes of competence and the contents were heterogenous reflecting the complex nature of both empowerment and competence as concepts. Overall, the reported psychometric properties of the instruments and methodological quality of the studies were at least adequate. However, there was variation in the testing of the instruments' psychometric properties and lack of evidence limited the evaluation of both the methodological quality of the studies and quality of instruments. CONCLUSION The psychometric properties of the existing instruments assessing nurses' competence in empowering patient education need to be tested further, and future instrument development should be built on a clearer definition of empowerment as well as on more rigorous testing and reporting. In addition, continued efforts to clarify and define both empowerment and competence on the conceptual level are needed. IMPACT Evidence on nurses' competence in empowering patient education and its valid and reliable assessment instruments is scarce. Existing instruments are heterogenous and are often missing proper testing of validity and reliability. These findings contribute to further research on developing and testing the instruments of competence in empowering patient education and strengthening nurses' empowering patient education competence in the clinical practice.

Fuseini AG, Redley B, Rawson H, Ley L, Kerr D. Methodological quality of dignity-related patient reported outcome measures used in acute hospital settings: A systematic review using the COSMIN methodology. J Clin Nurs 2023. [PMID: 36604845 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to examine the methodological quality of dignity-related patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) used to measure patients' dignity during acute hospitalisation using the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology for systematic review of PROMs. BACKGROUND Previous scoping review studies on the methodological quality of dignity-related PROMs lack specificity for dignity during acute hospital admission. They included PROMs that were developed to measure constructs of care other than patient dignity or designed to measure dignity in contexts outside of the acute hospital setting. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review based on COSMIN methodology. METHODS A systematic search was undertaken using five databases (CINAHL Complete, Medline Complete, EMBASE, PsycINFo and AgeLine) for articles published between 2000 and 2022. Relevant papers were identified using strict adherence to eligibility criteria, and studies that included development of dignity-related PROMs for use in acute hospital settings were selected. Two reviewers independently screened the identified papers, extracted data and examined the quality of studies. RESULTS Six papers met the inclusion criteria. Two PROMs, the 25-item Patient Dignity Inventory and the 34-item Inpatient Dignity Scale, met the COSMIN quality criteria because of their sufficient quality of evidence for content validity and reliable internal consistency. None of the PROMs met the quality criteria for assessment of measurement error, criterion validity, cross-cultural validity and responsiveness. CONCLUSION We recommend the Patient Dignity Inventory and the Inpatient Dignity Scale as the PROMs of choice for evaluating patients' dignity and/or dignified care during acute hospital admissions. These PROMs were developed using robust procedures with sufficient overall quality for content validity, internal consistency reliability and other measurement properties, and with moderate to high quality of evidence for these measurement properties. Researchers and clinicians who wish to use other dignity-related PROMs identified in this review should consider the methodological limitations of these PROMs, as highlighted in the present systematic review. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The review findings will guide healthcare professionals about their choice of patient reported outcome measures for evaluating patients' dignity or dignified care during acute hospitalisation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is widely acknowledged that negative body image perception is linked to anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder. However, there is no gold standard, body image related patient reported outcome measure in use, specific for dermatologic disease, despite evidence to suggest a high prevalence of mental health problems relating to body image in this group of patients. AIM The aim of this study was to perform a review of body image Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used in dermatology and to evaluate their effectiveness. METHODS Searches were performed in the major databases. Two investigators independently performed full text evaluation by applying an established checklist to evaluate the conceptual model, content validity, reliability, construct validity, scoring and interpretability and respondent burden. RESULTS Six different PROMs were identified of which only one was fully validated. There was a significant lack of patient involvement in the development of PROMs in this context. CONCLUSIONS We therefore encourage further research in this field to improve the quality of evidence to better understand the relationship between mental health and dermatologic disease.

Abstract
AIMS To synthesize and evaluate the psychometric properties of self-report instruments that measure patient dignity. DESIGN A psychometric systematic review. DATA SOURCES A comprehensive search of studies published from inception until February 17, 2022, was performed using PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus. REVIEW METHODS The methodological quality of the psychometric studies was evaluated following the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines. RESULTS Eleven self-report instruments that evaluate dignity were identified. For most instruments, psychometric properties, including reliability, cross-cultural validity, responsiveness, and measurement error, had not been adequately examined. The Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI), the Jacelon's Attributed Dignity Scale (JADS), and the Inpatient Dignity Scale (IPDS) had acceptable content validity, structure validity, and internal consistency to measure dignity among adult patients under palliative care, community-dwelling older adults, and inpatients receiving daily care. CONCLUSION The PDI, the JADS, and the IPDS are recommended for future clinical practice and research to measure dignity among adult patients under palliative care, community-dwelling older adults, and inpatients receiving daily care. Early identification of patients' dignity-related problems in nursing care can prevent negative health outcomes and help develop a timely intervention to promote patients' health and recovery. IMPACT Given that the psychometric properties of the existing self-report dignity instruments have not been systematically assessed, the present review utilized comprehensive methods according to COSMIN to evaluate and determine the most appropriate measure for research and practice. The PDI, the JADS, and the IPDS demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties and are, thus, recommended for clinical and research applications. Nursing professionals can employ these instruments to assess and promptly identify dignity issues among both young and older adults in hospitals and communities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review to identify which tools are being used to assess body perception disturbances in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and to provide an evidence-based recommendation in the selection of an assessment tool, based on measurement properties. DATABASES AND DATA TREATMENT Five electronic databases (EMBASE, Pubmed, PsycInfo, Science Direct and Web of Science) were searched for English or French written articles, with no time restrictions. All original articles using a body perception assessment tool with adult patients with CRPS were selected, regardless of their design (controlled trials, single case, qualitative study). Two investigators screened abstracts, selected full articles and extracted data independently. RESULTS Thirty-eight full-text papers were obtained and three main methods to evaluate body perception disturbances were identified: The Bath Body Perception Disturbance Scale, the Neglect-like Symptoms questionnaire adapted from Galer and the patient's body perception description. No full psychometric assessments were found. The Limb Laterality Recognition Task was also used in conjunction with another method. CONCLUSIONS Three main assessment methods for CRPS body perception disturbances are currently used. Full psychometric evaluation has not been completed for any of the assessment methods. As a consequence, we could not fully apply the COSMIN guideline. To date, there is no agreement concerning the use of a specific questionnaire or scale. The results indicate a need for further research such as psychometric properties of these questionnaires. SIGNIFICANCE This systematic review identified body perception disturbances assessment methods and their the psychometric properties in order to provide help and guidance to researchers and clinicians to investigate those clinical features.

Abstract
AIM Living with a stoma can greatly influence quality of life. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify all patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) assessing health related quality of life (HRQoL) or similar constructs related to an intestinal stoma and to evaluate their level of validation. METHODS The study was reported in line with PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO prior to the study. Eligible studies were any study investigating psychometric properties of a stoma-specific PROM. The databases MedLine, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Libraries were searched for eligible studies. Studies were screened on title and abstract, then full-text for eligibility. Data extraction on the study populations, PROM characteristics, psychometric properties as well as quality assessment using the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist was performed. RESULTS In total, 40 studies were included concerning the development and/or validation of 21 PROMs. For most PROMs, few psychometric properties were assessed. In general, quality of content validity was poor, quality of construct validity and reliability was good. Assessment of responsiveness was lacking. CONCLUSION This systematic review offers an overview of existing PROMs measuring stoma-related HRQoL and their psychometric properties. A large number of PROMs exist and their measures overlap considerably. The PROMs generally have a low level of validation, emphasizing the need for future studies to further validate existing PROMs, rather than developing new ones.

Abstract
The Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) is a patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) assessing the control of asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) at a 4 week interval. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the measurement properties of CARAT. Following PRISMA and COSMIN guidelines, we searched five bibliographic databases and retrieved studies concerning the development, assessment of properties, validation, and/or cultural adaption of CARAT. The studies' methodological quality, the quality of measurement properties, and the overall quality of evidence were assessed. We performed meta-analysis of CARAT measurement properties. We included 16 studies. Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test displayed sufficient content validity and very good consistency (meta-analytical Cronbach alpha = 0.83; 95% CI = 0.80-0.86;I2 = 62.6%). Control of allergic rhinitis and Asthma Test meta-analytical intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.91 (95% CI = 0.64-0.98;I2 = 93.7%). It presented good construct validity, especially for correlations with Patient-reported outcome measures assessing asthma (absolute Spearman correlation coefficients range = 0.67-0.73; moderate quality of evidence), and good responsiveness. Its minimal important difference is 3.5. Overall, CARAT has good internal consistency, reliability, construct validity and responsiveness, despite the heterogeneous quality of evidence. Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test can be used to assess the control of asthma and AR. As first of its kind, this meta-analysis of CARAT measurement properties sets a stronger level of evidence for asthma and/or AR control questionnaires.

Abstract
Quality of life is a key outcome that is not rigorously measured in obesity treatment research due to the lack of standardization of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and PRO measures (PROMs). The S.Q.O.T. initiative was founded to Standardize Quality of life measurement in Obesity Treatment. A first face-to-face, international, multidisciplinary consensus meeting was conducted to identify the key PROs and preferred PROMs for obesity treatment research. It comprised of 35 people living with obesity (PLWO) and healthcare providers (HCPs). Formal presentations, nominal group techniques, and modified Delphi exercises were used to develop consensus-based recommendations. The following eight PROs were considered important: self-esteem, physical health/functioning, mental/psychological health, social health, eating, stigma, body image, and excess skin. Self-esteem was considered the most important PRO, particularly for PLWO, while physical health was perceived to be the most important among HCPs. For each PRO, one or more PROMs were selected, except for stigma. This consensus meeting was a first step toward standardizing PROs (what to measure) and PROMs (how to measure) in obesity treatment research. It provides an overview of the key PROs and a first selection of the PROMs that can be used to evaluate these PROs.

[PMID: 35872612 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To identify, synthesize and evaluate the psychometric properties of instruments that measure dating violence (DV). DESIGN Psychometric systematic literature review. DATA SOURCES The databases SCOPUS, PubMed, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and Web of Science were searched up to December 2021. REVIEW METHOD We evaluated the psychometric properties of the instruments included and their methodological quality using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist and Terwee's quality criteria. The Modified Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to rate the best available evidence. The entire process was carried out by three independent reviewers. The review was registered at PROSPERO (registry number CRD42020161137). RESULTS A total of 35 studies evaluated 29 instruments measuring DV. Most studies reported data on content validity, structural validity and internal consistency. No studies tested measurement error and responsiveness. Only one instruments tested cross-cultural validity. It is of interest that the data reported for content validity were the worst evaluated, despite the fact that content validity is one of the key properties in developing and validating the measuring instrument. CONCLUSIONS There are a significant number of instruments published in this field, and it is important to evaluate and show their psychometric properties to help select evidence-based instruments. After carrying out the evaluation following the COSMIN guidelines, the authors of this study recommend that the three most suitable instruments are CADRI, WAS/Chinese version and PMWI-SF/Portuguese version (in that order). IMPACT Identifying and evaluating DV is the first step in designing effective interventions. To achieve this, it is necessary to have validated instruments with suitable psychometric properties. To date, this is the only published systematic review evaluating the psychometric properties of instruments that measure DV which reports on their methodological qualities. The results we found show a growing trend in developing new instruments, with the most suitable approach being to make a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the instrument that best suits the value to be measured. In this way, data can be compared between different countries and standardized health care plans and policies designed to achieve better health outcomes. This study may help future researchers to choose the most suitable instrument for their research.

Image Analysis Systems to Calculate the Surface Area of Vitiligo Lesions: a Systematic Review of Measurement Properties. Pigment Cell Melanoma Res 2022; 35:480-494. [PMID: 35822353 DOI: 10.1111/pcmr.13056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Several digital image analysis systems have been developed for surface calculation of vitiligo lesions. Critical assessment of their measurement properties is crucial to support evidence-based recommendations on the most suitable instruments and will reveal the need for future research. A systematic review was performed to systematically summarize, compare, and critically assess the measurement properties of digital and analogue analysis systems for surface calculation of vitiligo lesions following the Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) recommendations. Nineteen clinical trials were selected including 25 different instruments. Manual tracing on transparent sheets (contact planimetry) combined with digital measurement or point counting can be considered as the best validated method for the evaluation of target lesions taking into account the skin curvatures. Two-dimensional digital imaging analysis on photographs seems also robust although confirmatory data of different research groups using the same digital instrument in a wide range of skin types are missing. Analysis based on 3D photography is still in its early stage but is promising for whole-body analysis. However, the reported data on the quality of the instruments for surface area calculation of vitiligo lesions was in general rather limited. Therefore, future high-quality validation studies are required also including full body evaluations.

Int J Older People Nurs 2022; 17:e12458. [PMID: 35340122 DOI: 10.1111/opn.12458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Itching is an irritating and uncomfortable sensation that has a profound effect on patients' physical and mental health. It is a major under-recognised problem in older patients who cannot express their pain due to advanced cognitive impairment. Therefore, objective itch-assessment tools that do not rely on patients' reports of itching may be of value for this patient group. OBJECTIVE To summarise the characteristics of validated objective itch-assessment tools for patients with advanced cognitive impairment. METHODS This scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews checklist. The PubMed, CINAHL and Cochrane Library databases were searched, via database-specific search strategies, for articles published in English between January 1, 1990 and March 11, 2020. Based on the eligibility criteria, two authors independently screened the articles for inclusion. Thereafter, the lead author performed data extraction and analysis. RESULTS Three validated scratch-monitoring using accelerometers and a sound sensor and one validated scratch-mark assessment have been reported. The Actiwatch Plus, ActiTrac® , body-conducted sound sensor and Scoring Atopic Dermatitis index for scratching (SCORAD-scratch) had positive criterion validity outcomes. The Actiwatch Plus, ActiTrac® and body-conducted sound sensor were significantly correlated with scratch behaviour (r = 0.91, p < 0.001; r = 0.71, p = 0.042; r = 0.99, and p-value not shown, respectively). The SCORAD-scratch was significantly correlated with subjective itch-assessment scores (r = 0.78-0.80, p = <0.0001-0.010). CONCLUSIONS This scoping review summarises the characteristics of validated objective itch-assessment tools to investigate which of these are applicable to older patients with advanced cognitive impairments. Although there are limitations and further verification is required, the ActiTrac® , Actiwatch Plus and body-conducted sound sensor may be useful for measuring scratch movements and itching. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Nurses and patients' families may better understand the characteristics and validity of each objective itch-assessment tool and select the optimal tool for patients with advanced cognitive impairment who cannot express their discomfort caused due to itching.

ALZHEIMER'S & DEMENTIA: TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH & CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS 2022; 8:e12316. [PMID: 35910667 PMCID: PMC9322820 DOI: 10.1002/trc2.12316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Introduction The review described in this paper builds upon the Dementia Care Practice Recommendations (DCPR) published by the Alzheimer's Association in 2018 and addresses behavior change and the need for targeted outcome measures that evolve from person‐centered frameworks and help evaluate interventions. Apathy and resistance to care (RTC) are two specific behavioral expressions of unmet need or distress exhibited by people living with dementia, which are upsetting to formal and family caregivers and compromise quality of life for people living with dementia. Methods We conducted literature searches of major databases (PsycInfo, PubMed, EBSCO, CINAHL) for papers examining apathy and RTC constructs in samples of people living with dementia. Reliability and validity coefficients were reviewed and reported, along with examination of whether each measure facilitates contextual understanding of behavior. Results Three stand‐alone measures of RTC and ten measures of apathy were identified and reviewed. The RTC measures demonstrated good psychometric properties but do not include the perspective of the person living with dementia or contextual aspects of the behavior. The identified apathy measures demonstrated fair to good psychometric properties, and although there is greater consideration of context, none adequately include the perspective of the person living with dementia. Discussion Although reliable and valid measures have been developed to measure apathy and RTC in people living with dementia, there is greater need for conceptually driven measurement of behavior context and for tools that elicit and include the perspective of the person living with dementia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the currently available validated owner-reported outcome measures (OROMs) for assessing pain and function in dogs with osteoarthritis and other joint diseases. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS A systematic literature search of PubMed and Web of Science was performed in December, 2019, using search terms relevant to OROMs for pain and function in dogs with osteoarthritis and other joint diseases. The measurement properties of the resulting outcome instruments and validation studies were evaluated with the Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN). RESULTS Seventeen publications describing the validation of 6 OROMs were selected and evaluated with the COSMIN. The Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI), Canine Orthopedic Index (COI), and Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs (LOAD) provided evidence of sufficient content validity. Internal consistency, reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness were the most frequently validated other properties. Both CBPI and COI had sufficient internal consistency; LOAD, being formative in construct, need not be assessed for internal consistency. No instruments provided information on measurement errors. CONCLUSION The CBPI, COI, and LOAD can be recommended for use in dogs with osteoarthritis. Further evidence is necessary to increase the interpretability of these instruments or expand their application into other canine orthopedic conditions. Further evidence is also needed before the other 3 instruments can be recommended. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This systematic evaluation of 6 OROMs provides clinicians and researchers with a tool that facilitates and improves evidence-based selection of outcome measures for evaluating canine osteoarthritis and other joint disease treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify and characterize adult population-based multimorbidity measures using health administrative data and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for disease identification. METHODS We performed a narrative systematic review of studies using or describing development or validation of multimorbidity measures. We compared the number of diseases included in the measures, the process of data extraction (case definition) and the validation process. We assessed the methodological robustness using eight criteria, five based on general criteria for indicators (AIRE instrument) and three multimorbidity-specific criteria. RESULTS Twenty-two multimorbidity measures were identified. The number of diseases they included ranged from 5 to 84 (median = 20), with 19 measures including both physical and mental conditions. Diseases were identified using ICD codes extracted from inpatient and outpatient data (18/22) and sometimes including drug claims (10/22). The validation process relied mainly on the capacity of the measures to predict health outcome (5/22), or on the validation of each individual disease against a gold standard (8/22). Six multimorbidity measures met at least six of the eight robustness criteria assessed. CONCLUSION There is significant heterogeneity among the measures used to assess multimorbidity in administrative databases, and about a third are of low to moderate quality. A more consensual approach to the number of diseases or groups of diseases included in multimorbidity measures may improve comparison between regions, and potentially provide better control for multimorbidity-related confounding in studies.

Recommended core outcome instruments for health-related quality of life, long-term control and itch intensity in atopic eczema trials: results of the HOME VII consensus meeting. Br J Dermatol 2021; 185:139-146. [PMID: 33393074 PMCID: PMC8359383 DOI: 10.1111/bjd.19751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Background The Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative has established a core outcome set of domains for atopic eczema (AE) clinical trials. Previous consensus meetings have agreed on preferred instruments for clinician‐reported signs (Eczema Area and Severity Index, EASI) and patient‐reported symptoms (Patient‐Oriented Eczema Measure, POEM). This paper reports consensus decisions from the HOME VII meeting. Objectives To complete the core outcome set for AE by agreeing on core outcome instruments for the domains of quality of life (QoL), long‐term control and itch intensity. Methods A face‐to‐face consensus meeting was held in Tokyo, Japan (8–10 April 2019) including 75 participants (49 healthcare professionals/methodologists, 14 patients, 12 industry representatives) from 16 countries. Consensus decisions were made by presentations of evidence, followed by whole and small group discussions and anonymous voting using predefined consensus rules. Results It was agreed by consensus that QoL should be measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) for adults, the Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) for children and the Infant’s Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQoL) for infants. For long‐term control, the Recap of Atopic Eczema (RECAP) instrument or the Atopic Dermatitis Control Test (ADCT) should be used. Consensus was not reached over the frequency of data collection for long‐term control. The peak itch numerical rating scale (NRS)‐11 past 24 h was recommended as an additional instrument for the symptom domain in trials of older children and adults. Agreement was reached that all core outcome instruments should be captured at baseline and at the time of primary outcome assessment as a minimum. Conclusions For now, the core outcome set for clinical trials in AE is complete. The specified domains and instruments should be used in all new clinical trials and systematic reviews of eczema treatments.
What is already known about this topic?
Core outcomes sets improve the design and reporting of clinical trials, reduce selective outcome reporting bias and facilitate meta‐analysis of results in systematic reviews. The HOME core outcome set for eczema recommends the inclusion of four core domains in all atopic eczema trials: clinician‐reported signs, patient‐reported symptoms, health‐related quality of life (HrQoL) and long‐term control. Clinician‐reported signs should be captured using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and patient‐reported symptoms using the Patient‐Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM).
What does this study add?
The HOME core outcome set is now complete and recommended core outcome instruments have been agreed on for all four domains. Core outcome instruments for HrQoL: Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) for adults, Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) for children and Infant’s Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQoL) for infants. Core outcome instruments for long‐term control: either the Recap of Atopic Eczema (RECAP) or the Atopic Dermatitis Control Test (ADCT). In addition, itch intensity should be measured using the peak NRS‐11 past 24 h for trials including older children and adults.
What are the clinical implications of this work?
If all future trials of eczema treatments include the HOME core outcome instruments, then trial results will be more readily incorporated into meta‐analyses in systematic reviews and clinical care will be informed by the best available evidence.
