“…After collapsing response options for 1 item with disordered thresholds and creating a testlet for 3 items on attitudes that showed local dependence, a metric total score of the NEFI-SF ranging from 0 (no impact of barriers) to 100 (largest possible impact of barriers) was derived. NEFI-SF was found to be a unidimensional measure, implying that the perceived impact of environmental barriers on participation can be captured by a single common latent trait (24).…”

“…As NEFI-S is quite a new measure, minimal feedback exists on its suitability and usage. NEFI-S has proven to be valid in 2 studies (28,29 Thereafter, the generic instruments were evaluated by 7 subjects with SCI. The aim was to select the most relevant items for the SCI population as well as to maintain a reasonable level of burden for the patients, a consequence of completing multiple questions.…”

LAY ABSTRACTThe Finnish Spinal Cord Injury Study (FinSCI) collects information from people with spinal cord injury about their own health, ability to function, and their challenges in terms of accessibility. The study includes a questionnaire and interviews. The questionnaire is based on international guidelines. Participants are recruited from the registers of Oulu, Tampere and Helsinki university hospitals. Almost 1,800 people met the criteria and it is hoped that at least half of them will answer the questionnaire. Interviews will be performed with 45 persons. Interviews have several different themes, such as returning home, housing and living arrangements, employment situation and pathways to employment. The aim of this study is to help to develop the care and rehabilitation policies for the spinal cord injury population, to plan training models, and to provide information for different parties and gain understanding of the lived experience of people with spinal cord injury. Background and purpose: The purpose of the Finnish Spinal Cord Injury Study (FinSCI) is to identify fac tors related to the health and functioning of people with spinal cord injury, their challenges with acces sibility, and how such factors are interconnected. The International Classification of Functioning, Disa bility and Health (ICF) is used as a structured frame work in the study. Design: Protocol of mixed methods study. Results: Study participants were recruited from all 3 spinal cord injury outpatient clinics in Finland. The final target group consists of 1,789 subjects with spinal cord injury. The final questionnaire was for med from 5 different patientreported instruments. The spinal cord injury-specified instruments are the Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Condition Scale, the Spinal Cord Independence Measure, and the Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory Short Form. In ad dition, questions from the following generic instru ments were chosen after a selection process: the PatientReported Outcomes Measurement Informa tion System, PROMIS®, and the National Study of Health, Wellbeing and Service, FinSote. Altogether, the final questionnaire covers 64 ICF categories and consists of 151 ICF-linked questions. Conclusion: The formulated questionnaire covers widely different aspects of health, functioning and accessibility. The questionnaire results and subse quent interviews will help in developing care and rehabilitation policies and services for people with spinal cord injury.

“…30 Evaluation of work integration and health care services involve questions taken from different tools. Environmental factors will mainly be assessed by the Nottwil Environmental Factors Inventory Short Form 31 and questions from the MDS. 28 Relevant personal factors will be measured using questions from the General Self-Efficacy Scale, 32 the Moorong Self-Efficacy Scale, 33 the General Belongingness Scale, 34 and the MDS.…”

Objective: The Learning Health System for Spinal Cord Injury (LHS-SCI) is an initiative embedded in the World Health Organization's (WHO's)Global Disability Plan and requires the statistical collection of data on the lived experience of persons with SCI to consequently formulate recommendations and policies. The International Spinal Cord Injury (InSCI) community survey has been developed as an initial step to gain information about the lived experience of persons with SCI within and across diverse nations. Design: InSCI is a multinational community survey based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Sets for SCI and involves 28 countries from all six WHO regions. The study will be implemented in 2017. Overall aims, guiding principles on sampling strategies, data collection modes, and reminder management are described. Conclusions: InSCI will be the first survey to be conducted simultaneously in many countries and in all six WHO world regions that identifies the factors associated with functioning, health, and well-being of persons living with SCI. Expected results of the survey will be used for the basis of conducting stakeholder dialogs for policy reforms designed to improve the functioning, health maintenance, and well-being of persons with SCI.
