Psychometric Properties of a Fidelity Scale for Illness Management and Recovery.

ABSTRACT: This study examined the psychometric properties and feasibility of the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) Fidelity scale. Despite widespread use of the scale, the psychometric properties have received limited attention. Trained fidelity assessors conducted assessments four times over 18 months at 11 sites implementing IMR. The IMR Fidelity scale showed excellent interrater reliability (.99), interrater item agreement (94%), internal consistency (.91-.95 at three time points), and sensitivity to change. Frequency distributions generally showed that item ratings included the entire range. The IMR Fidelity scale has excellent psychometric properties and should be used to evaluate and guide the implementation of IMR.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03271242.

The Antipsychotic Medication Management Fidelity Scale: Psychometric properties.

Project description:The paper describes the Antipsychotic Medication Management Fidelity Scale and its psychometric properties, including interrater reliability, frequency distribution, sensitivity to change and feasibility. Fidelity assessors conducted fidelity reviews four times over 18 months at eight sites receiving implementation support for evidence-based antipsychotic medication management. Data analyses shows good to fair interrater reliability, adequate sensitivity to change over time and good feasibility. At 18 months, item ratings varied from poor to full fidelity on most items. Use of the scale can assess fidelity to evidence-based guidelines for antipsychotic medication management and guide efforts to improve practice. Further research should improve and better calibrate some items, and improve the procedures for access to information.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03271242.

The Family Psychoeducation Fidelity Scale: Psychometric Properties.

Project description:This study examined psychometric properties and feasibility of the Family Psychoeducation (FPE) Fidelity Scale. Fidelity assessors conducted reviews using the FPE fidelity scale four times over 18 months at five sites in Norway. After completing fidelity reviews, assessors rated feasibility of the fidelity review process. The FPE fidelity scale showed excellent interrater reliability (.99), interrater item agreement (88%), and internal consistency (mean = .84 across four time points). By the 18-month follow-up, all five sites increased fidelity and three reached adequate fidelity. Fidelity assessors rated feasibility as excellent. The FPE fidelity scale has good psychometric properties and is feasible for evaluating the implementation of FPE programs. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03271242.

The Physical Health Care Fidelity Scale: Psychometric Properties.

Project description:Mental health programs need an instrument to monitor adherence to evidence-based physical health care for people with serious mental illness. The paper describes the Physical Health Care Fidelity Scale and study interrater reliability, frequency distribution, sensitivity to change and feasibility. Four fidelity assessments were conducted over 18 months at 13 sites randomized to implementation support for evidence-based physical health care. We found good to excellent interrater reliability, adequate sensitivity for change, good feasibility and wide variability in fidelity across sites after 18 months of implementation. Programs were more successful in establishing Policies stating physical health care standards than in implementing these Policies. The Physical Health Care Fidelity Scale measures and guides implementation of evidence-based physical health care reliably.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03271242.

Psychometric properties of the contingency management competence scale.

Project description:Contingency management (CM) is an evidence-based treatment, and clinicians are beginning to implement this intervention in practice. However, little research exists on methods for assuring appropriate implementation of CM. This study describes the development and psychometric properties of the 12-item CM Competence Scale (CMCS). Thirty-five therapists from nine community-based clinics participated; following a training period, a randomized trial evaluated the efficacy of CM in cocaine abusing patients. Analyses of the CMCS are based on ratings from 1613 audiotapes of therapist interactions with 78 patients enrolled in the training phase and 103 patients in the randomized phase. Inter-rater reliability from 11 raters and internal consistency of items on the CMCS was good to excellent. Items loaded onto two factors: one contained items specific to discussions of the outcomes of urine testing and reinforcement, and the other contained general items related to use of praise, communication of confidence, empathy, skillfulness, and maintaining session structure, as well as discussions of self-reports of drug use when they occurred. During the training phase in CM delivery, scores on the CMCS rose significantly between earlier and later training sessions, and during the randomized phase, CM sessions were rated more highly than non-CM sessions. Scores on the subscale assessing general items were significantly correlated with indices of the therapeutic alliance and predictive of durations of cocaine abstinence achieved. These data suggest that the CMCS is reliable and valid in assessing delivery of CM and that competence in CM delivery is associated with improved patient outcomes.

Psychometric properties and characteristics of the Diabetes Self Management Scale.

Project description:ObjectiveAssessing diabetes self care management is essential for nursing care for diabetes. There is a need to have valid and reliable scales that assess the actual performance of diabetes self management. The purpose of this study was to revise and conduct psychometric testing and analysis of the Diabetes Self Management Scale (DSMS).MethodsA cross-sectional methodological design was used. A convenience sample was used and 78 adults with diabetes and taking insulin from five sites in the Midwest area of the U.S participated in the study. Reliability analysis was done using Ferketich techniques to make decisions about whether any given item should be retained or deleted.ResultsA descriptive analysis for the 60 items of the scale was conducted; several items had low variability compared to the other items on the scale. The correlation matrices showed that a total of 20 items had poor item characteristics. These 20 items were deleted resulting in developing 40- item version of the scale. The 40 - item scale had high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's ? = 0.947). The validity testing of the 40 - item scale was guided by the Research Model for Diabetes Self Care Management; results were congruent with the model and showed strong correlation with self efficacy, moderate correlation with self care agency, and weak correlation with diabetes knowledge.ConclusionThe items and the scale (DSMS) have undergone careful psychometric testing. The 40-item DSMS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure diabetes self care management among people with diabetes.

Inclusion at universities: Psychometric properties of an inclusive management scale as perceived by students.

Project description:IntroductionDuring the last century, the inclusion of all kinds of diversity became a social imperative in all social spaces but above all in some institutions such as the educational ones. Among these, inclusion has been least studied in the tertiary education organizations. This communication proposes and evaluates the psychometric properties of a new instrument, named Inclusive Management in Tertiary Institutions Scale (IMTIS), to assess inclusive management in universities.MethodThe researchers used a quantitative research model through survey. We based on the Index for Inclusion to design the IMTIS. We first submitted it to the assessment of experts. Then we applied the resulting version in an online survey including a sample of 1557 students from two universities and 121 different undergraduate careers. A panel of experts judged the content validity of the instrument. Participants answered the IMTIS after informed consent. We used confirmatory factor analysis to assess the construct validity of the instrument. We also evaluated the reliability of the measurements.ResultsFrom a kit of 33 originally proposed items, we obtained a version of 22 items with CVR between 0.60 and 1.00, and a IVC = 0.78. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the six-factor solution had a better adjustment than the one and three factors solutions (RMSEA = 0.059; CFI = 0.947; TLI = 0.937). The McDonald ω coefficients were between 0.864 and 0.922.ConclusionThe results deliver evidence that supports the validity and reliability of the IMTIS measurements to carry out research and diagnosis of inclusive management in higher education institutions.

The Benefit Finding Questionnaire (BFQ): Scale Development, Validation, and Its Psychometric Properties Among People with Mental Illness.

Project description:Benefit finding has been defined as positive life changes that result from a stressful event, such as the diagnosis of chronic illness. The present study aimed to develop a benefit finding questionnaire (BFQ) and examine its psychometric property among people with chronic mental illness in Japan. This study adopted a mixed method composed of three phases, including Phase 1: To draft the item pool and design the BFQ based on literature review and discussion among the authors, Phase 2: To revise and refine the drafted items through feedback from focus group interviews and further consideration, and Phase 3: To examine the psychometric properties of the BFQ following the questionnaire survey for people with chronic mental illness and validation of the questionnaire. In Phase 3, a cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted for mental health service users. Among the 373 eligible participants, we used data from 265 respondents for the analyses (valid response rate = 71.0%). About 65% were male, and the average age was 45.3 years (SD = 12.9). Around 70% were diagnosed with schizophrenia. Factorial, concurrent, and divergent validities, as well as reliability were explored. The 21-item BFQ demonstrated good factorial validity, concurrent and divergent validities, and sufficient internal consistency reliability among people with chronic mental illness. It appears to be a useful scale to assess experience of benefit finding among people with chronic mental illness. Further large-scale research will ensure verification of the scale among people with other illnesses or difficulties.

Assessing Stigma in Multiple Sclerosis: Psychometric Properties of the Eight-Item Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI-8).

Project description:Background:The stigma associated with neurologic disorders plays a part in poor health-related quality of life. The eight-item Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI-8) is a brief self-assessment tool for measuring perceived level of stigma. The psychometric performance of the SSCI-8 in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) was assessed. Methods:A multicenter, cross-sectional study in adults with relapsing-remitting or primary progressive MS was performed. A nonparametric item response theory procedure, Mokken analysis, was done to preliminarily study the dimensional structure of the SSCI-8. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model was then fit, and the behavior and information covered by the eight items were assessed by parametric item response theory analysis. Results:A total of 201 patients (mean ± SD age, 43.9 ± 10.5 years; 60.2% female; 86.1% with relapsing-remitting MS) were studied. The Mokken analysis found that the SSCI-8 is a unidimensional strong scale (scalability index H = 0.56) with high reliability (Cronbach ? = 0.88). The CFA model confirmed the unidimensionality (comparative fit index = 0.975, root mean square error of approximation = 0.077). The information covered by the SSCI-8 items ranges from 3.79 to 13.52, for a total of 66.56. More than half (66%) of the SSCI-8 overall information is conveyed by four items: 1 ("Some people avoided me"), 2 ("I felt left out of things"), 3 ("People avoided looking at me"), and 7 ("People were unkind to me"). Conclusions:The SSCI-8 shows appropriate psychometric characteristics and is, therefore, a useful instrument for assessing stigma in people with MS.

Illness management and recovery in community practice.

Project description:To examine provider competence in providing Illness Management and Recovery (IMR), an evidence-based self-management program for people with severe mental illness, and the association between implementation supports and IMR competence.IMR session recordings, provided by 43 providers/provider pairs, were analyzed for IMR competence using the IMR Treatment Integrity Scale. Providers also reported on receipt of commonly available implementation supports (e.g., training, consultation).Average IMR competence scores were in the "needs improvement" range. Clinicians demonstrated low competence in several IMR elements: significant other involvement, weekly action planning, action plan follow-up, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and behavioral tailoring for medication management. These elements were commonly absent from IMR sessions. Competence in motivational enhancement strategies and cognitive-behavioral techniques differed based on the module topic covered in a session. Generally, receipt of implementation supports was not associated with increased competence; however, motivational interviewing training was associated with increased competence in action planning and review.IMR, as implemented in the community, may lack adequate competence and commonly available implementation supports do not appear to be adequate. Additional implementation supports that target clinician growth areas are needed. (PsycINFO Database Record

The brief negative symptom scale: psychometric properties.

Project description:The participants in the NIMH-MATRICS Consensus Development Conference on Negative Symptoms recommended that an instrument be developed that measured blunted affect, alogia, asociality, anhedonia, and avolition. The Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) is a 13-item instrument designed for clinical trials and other studies that measures these 5 domains. The interrater, test-retest, and internal consistency of the instrument were strong, with respective intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.93 for the BNSS total score and values of 0.89-0.95 for individual subscales. Comparisons with positive symptoms and other negative symptom instruments supported the discriminant and concurrent validity of the instrument.
