Psychometric properties of the external Housing-Related Control Belief Questionnaire among people with Parkinson’s disease
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2020Co-Authors: Nilla Andersson, Maria H. Nilsson, Björn Slaug, Frank Oswald, Susanne IwarssonAbstract:Background Housing-related control beliefs are associated with aspects of health among older people in general. Research on Parkinson’s disease (PD) focusing on perceptions of the home are rare and instruments capturing perceived aspects of home have seldom been used. Aims To evaluate psychometric properties of the external Housing-related Control Beliefs Questionnaire (HCQ) among people with PD. Methods The external HCQ were administrated to 245 participants with PD, (mean age = 69.9 years; mean PD duration = 9.7 years). External HCQ has 16-Items, with five response options. The psychometric properties evaluated were data quality, structural validity (factor analysis), floor and ceiling effects, corrected Item Total Correlations, internal consistency and construct validity (testing Correlations with relevant constructs according to pre-defined hypotheses). Results Data quality was high. Structural validity showed a unidimensional construct with removal of two Items. Homogeneity was questionable, but strengthened after the removal of the two Items. For the 14-Item version internal consistency was α = 0.78 and SEM 4.47. Corrected Item Total Correlation ranged between 0.31 and 0.54 and no floor or ceiling effects. Significant Correlations with relevant constructs supported the construct validity. Conclusions Taken together, the psychometric results suggest a 14-Item version of the external HCQ to be sufficiently reliable and valid for use in the PD population. The results pave the way for further studies, using the HCQ to analyse how perceptions of control of the home may be associated with health among people ageing with PD.

Attitudes towards mental illness in Sweden: adaptation and development of the Community Attitudes towards Mental Illness questionnaire.
International journal of mental health nursing, 2008Co-Authors: Torbjorn Hogberg, Annabella Magnusson, Mats Ewertzon, Kim LutzenAbstract:The main purpose for the expansion of supported community care for persons with serious mental illness in Sweden was to ensure the right for these persons to live as citizens in the community. However, earlier research shows that negative attitudes towards mental illness present an obstacle for social integration of persons with serious mental illness. The aim of this study, conducted in Sweden, was to evaluate an existing instrument's (Community Attitudes towards Mental Illness, CAMI), validity and reliability. An additional aim was to adapt and develop the questionnaire to Swedish circumstances. After translation and modification of the original CAMI, the Swedish version of the questionnaire (CAMI-S) was distributed to all student nurses at three different universities in Sweden. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.90 of the original CAMI-S. A corrected inter-Item Total Correlation excluded 20 Items because they showed loading

Development and initial psychometric testing of a body-image domain within an electronic pelvic floor questionnaire (ePAQ-pelvic floor)
International Urogynecology Journal, 2020Co-Authors: Kaia Scurr, Thomas G. Gray, Georgina L. Jones, Stephen C. RadleyAbstract:Introduction Urogynaecological conditions have been shown to negatively impact on body image in a number of previous studies. ePAQ-Pelvic Floor (ePAQ-PF) is a patient-reported outcome measure used in clinical practice to assess urogynaecological conditions and their impact on quality of life. This study aimed to develop and undertake initial psychometric testing of a new domain to assess urogynaecological body image within ePAQ-PF. Methods A patient involvement group, analysis of free-text data from ePAQ-PF and a systematic review of existing PROMs assessing urogynaecological body image informed the content of a new body-image domain within ePAQ-PF. This was administered to 208 patients who consented to the use of their anonymised ePAQ-PF responses for research purposes. These data underwent factor analysis, internal consistency reliability and Item-Total Correlation testing. Evidence-based hypotheses were formulated to test construct validity. Criterion validity was assessed against the Body-image Scale (BIS). Patients completed a separate questionnaire (QQ-11) to measure the face validity of ePAQ-PF. Results Factor analysis revealed a four-Item body-image domain with good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.899) and Item-Total Correlation (Spearman’s rank r > 0.40). ePAQ-PF body-image domain scores correlated significantly with the BIS scores ( r = 0.501). Age, prolapse, sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain and urinary incontinence scores correlated significantly with body-image domain score. QQ-11 value scores demonstrated good acceptability. Conclusions Body-image assessment should form part of routine care in urogynaecology. Preliminary results support the validity, reliability and functionality of the body-image domain in ePAQ-PF. Further psychometric testing of this is required, including tests of responsiveness and stability.
