Instruments used in the assessment of expectation toward a spine surgery: an integrative review

Abstract

Objective:To identify and describe the instruments used to assess patients' expectations toward spine surgery. Method: An integrative review was carried out in the databases PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS and PsycINFO. Results: A total of 4,402 publications were identified, of which 25 met the selection criteria. Of the studies selected, only three used tools that had confirmed validity and reliability to be applied; in five studies, clinical scores were used, and were modified for the assessment of patients' expectations, and in 17 studies the researchers developed scales without an adequate description of the method used for their development and validation. Conclusion: The assessment of patients' expectations has been methodologically conducted in different ways. Until the completion of this integrative review, only two valid and reliable instruments had been used in three of the selected studies.

Eating self- efficacy in overweight and obese children and adolescents: integrative review of instruments

“…The focus of data extraction was the psychometric instrument of eating self-efficacy used in each reviewed study. An instrument was adapted (10) containing 12 items to enable data extraction: authors; year of publication; the country where the study was conducted; the purpose of the study; nutritional status of study participants; age range of the investigated public; the language of the instrument; psychometric characteristics of the instrument; the form of application (self-reported or interview); the number of items; the dimensions of the instrument; and sample items. It is noteworthy that, to obtain all this information, it was sometimes also necessary to consult the article to develop the instrument, which was easily located through the references of the reviewed studies.…”

Emerging Need for PROMs to Measure the Impact of Spine Disorders on Overall Health and Well-being: Measuring Expectations as an Example for Lumbar Degenerative Spondylolisthesis

“…The Expectations Survey was developed based on the perspectives of patients with diverse diagnoses including LDS and, therefore, can potentially address various consequences of LDS on physical and mental well-being [27]. The Expectations Survey has been translated into other languages and used by other researchers [2,10,15,25,29,35]. It addresses anticipated outcomes, and although not a gold standard for current conditions, it is an example of a single survey that can simultaneously address multiple issues that are important to patients and that impact their overall health.…”
