Benefit Evaluation in Vitiligo Treatment: Development and Validation of a Patient-Defined Outcome Questionnaire

“…We identified no publications that deal with equivalent or similar methods suitable for a patient-defined benefit evaluation in vitiligo. Therefore, the available but widely and justifiably criticized procedures of ‘goal attainment scaling’ [24,25,26,27,28,29] and ‘goal-oriented outcome measurement’ [30, 31] were selected as a basis for the construction of this novel approach, avoiding the known limitations. With reference to these procedures, the method developed allows patients to weight patient-defined items in a standardized questionnaire for their individual therapy needs prior to therapy and to rate the attainment of benefits analogous to these needs in the course of or after therapy.…”

“…The method of benefit assessment used is based on the ‘goal attainment scaling’ procedure [24,25,26,27,28,29] and the ‘goal-oriented outcome measurement’ [30, 31]. As a further development of both procedures, the individually perceived needs of relevant benefits are assessed at the beginning of therapy using the standardized list of the 26 items obtained in the development phase (Patient Need Questionnaire, PNQ).…”

Multidisciplinary team meetings in treatment of spinal muscular atrophy adult patients: a real-life observatory for innovative treatments

“…In France, the functional evaluations performed routinely were the 32-item Motor Function Measure (MFM32) Motor Function Measure (MFM) [ 6 ], the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM) [ 7 ], the 10-m walking test (10mWT) [ 8 ], the six-minute walking test (6MWT) [ 9 ], the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) [ 10 ] and Myotools. Myotools are tools developed to assess upper limb strength and function in patients with neuromuscular diseases.…”

Improving leadership skills of infection prevention and control teams by psychological empowerment: study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial (IP-POWER)

“…The Goal Attainment Scale32 33 is used to assess the extent to which personal perceptions of success in implementing infection control activities change. The measurement is carried out both before and after the intervention.…”

“…Secondary outcome: ‘Personal perception of success of the IPC team members’ (Goal Attainment Scale32 33: This outcome will be analysed descriptively.…”
