Abstract
Miyasaka H, Kondo I, Kato H, Takahashi C, Uematsu H, Yasui C, Tani A, Miyata M, Wada N, Teranishi T, Wada Y, Sonoda S. Assessment of the content validity of Functional Skills Measure after Paralysis with nominal group discussion and revision of its content. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2011; 2: 24-30
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to assess the content validity of Functional Skills Measure after Paralysis (FSMAP) and to revise its content to make it appropriate for use in the clinical setting.
Methods: Eight occupational therapists (OTs) participated in the questionnaire study. Nominal Group Technique (NGT) was used to measure the content validity. Before using the NGT, we set an 80% agreement as the criterion for consent. If the agreement for an item did not reach this level and the item’s content validity was not high enough, we revised its content. We repeated the same assessment for the revised FSMAP by using a questionnaire.
Results: In the first assessment, 8 out of 15 items (including the subitems and descriptions) did not reach the predetermined agreement level. In the second assessment, 1 out of 15 items did not reach the agreement level. We finished the assessment process because we judged that the content validity of FSMAP reached a satisfactory level after the revision of this item.
Discussion: We think that FSMAP should be revised to make it appropriate for use in the clinical setting after assessing its content validity.
