“…The use of the biopsychosocial model of the ICF changed the way of thinking, measuring, designing, collecting and analyzing data on functioning and disability (Farias & Buchalla, 2005; Madden & Bundy, 2019). Therefore, the WHO encourages the use of the ICF by considering the core sets composed of lists of categories that are relevant to specific conditions and make their use practical in research and clinical practice (Monteiro et al., 2021) or by linking ICF concepts to existing assessment measures (Cieza et al., 2002).…”

BackgroundThis study explores the linkage between the Measurement of Environmental Quality (MQE) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Stemming from the Human Development Model—Disability Creation Process (HDM‐DCP), MQE enhances understanding of how environmental quality impacts disability development across diverse socio‐cultural contexts. Integrating MQE with ICF expands the perspective on disability formation beyond HDM‐DCP, encompassing ICF's functioning approach.ObjectiveTo link the MQE with the concepts and categories of the ICF.MethodsTwo health professionals with adequate taxonomic knowledge of the ICF performed the initial linkage, which was based on updated standardized rules considering all hierarchical levels of the ICF. Linkage agreement between the first two assessors was measured using the Kappa (k) coefficient and respective 95% confidence intervals. In the absence of a consensus between the two assessors (k > 0.60), a third assessor was consulted to make the arbitrary decision of the final categories linked to the MQE.ResultsInsufficient agreement between the two assessors was found for the linkage process (k = 0.52; p < 0.001), requiring the final decision from the third assessor. At the end of the process, 26 ICF categories were linked to the main concepts (MC) measured by the 26 items of the short version of the MQE. Ten ICF categories were linked to the additional concepts (AC) measured by the MQE. Moreover, the MQE addresses the five domains of the ICF component “environmental factors,” with a predominance of the “services, systems and policies” domain (MC = 45.8% and AC = 40%).ConclusionThe linkage of the concepts measured by the MQE to ICF categories enabled mapping the content of the MQE, identifying it as a promising tool for measuring environmental factors in accordance with ICF percepts.
