“…[33] The following indexes of adherence of the model were used: Root Mean Square Residual (RMR) and Goodness-of-fit index (GFI), Normed-Fit Index (NFI) and Relative Fit Index (RFI) for baseline comparison, and Parsimonious Normed Fit Index (PNFI) as parsimony measures. The indices values are considered that the model fits if RFI ≥ 0.9, GFI and NFI ≥ 0.95, RMR< 0.08, while PNFI ≥ 0.80 [34].…”

Equal Opportunities for Stroke Survivors’ Rehabilitation: A Study on the Validity of the Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale Translated and Adapted into Romanian

et al. 2020

Background and objectives: The Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UEFMA) is one of the most recommended and used methods of clinical evaluation not only for post-stroke motor function disability conditions but also for physiotherapy goal-setting. Up to the present, an official Romanian version has not been officially available. This study aims to carry out a translation, adaptation, and validation of UEFMA in Romanian, thus giving both patients and medical practitioners the equal opportunity of benefiting from its proficiency. Material and methods: The English version of the motor component of UEFMA was back and forth translated in the assent of best practice translation guidelines. The research was performed on a group of 64 post-stroke in-patients regarding psychometric properties for content validation and an exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis was performed using the Bayesian model. To assess internal consistency and test–retest reliability, we used the Cronbach Alpha index and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). We used Pearson correlation with the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) to determine concurrent validation. Standardized response mean (SRM) was applied to determine the responsiveness of the instrument used. Results: After performing the exploratory factor analysis, a single factor was extracted, with an Eigenvalue of 19.363, which explained 64.543% of the variation. The model was confirmed by Bayesian exploration, with Root Mean Square Residual (RMR) 0.051, Goodness-of-fit Index (GFI) 0.980, Normed-Fit Index (NFI) 0.978 and Relative Fit Index (RFI) 0.977. The Cronbach Alpha value was 0.981, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) index for average measures was 0.992, the Pearson correlation with FIM 0.789, and MRS −0.787, while the SRM was 1.117. Conclusions: The Romanian version of the UEFMA scale is a reliable, responsive and valid tool which can be used as a standardized assessment in post-stroke patients across Romania.

“…The suitability of sample size was evaluated with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, and the compatibility of the correlation matrix for factor analysis was evaluated with the Bartlett test of sphericity. The reliability of the scale was examined using internal consistency analysis (34).…”

“…Validity is the ability to measure the intended variable accurately and precisely (39). Construct validity was used to evaluate the extent to which the scale items were associated with latent variables to be measured and the extent to which the association between the variables fits the established model (34). The fact that the EFA performed to determine the factor structure of the Turkish scale revealed only a single factor with an eigenvalue >1 and the contribution to the total variance was 57.73%, indicates that the Turkish version is similar to the original scale (17).…”

Objective: The number of publications reporting anxiety and fear about the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) continues to grow; however, the psychometric tools available to assess a Turkish population are insufficient to measure the relevant mental health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale and to analyze the validity and reliability in children and adolescents. Method:The study sample consisted of 381 children aged 10-18 years. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency analysis was used to evaluate the scale's reliability, and the criterion validity was assessed with the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child (RCADS-C) subscale scores. The construct validity of the scale was examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.Results: The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient calculated to determine the scale's reliability was α=0.88. The corrected total item test correlation values of the items varied between 0.63 and 0.68. Exploratory factor analysis determined that the factor load of the scale items was 0.73-0.77 and that there was only one factor with an eigenvalue >1. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the fit indices were acceptable. Conclusion:These findings show that the Turkish version of the FCV-19S is a valid and reliable measurement tool for use with children and adolescents.

“…Yapı geçerliği kapsamında uyum indeksleri incelendiğinde orijinal formda χ 2 /sd: 4.37 iken Türkçe formu için 5.38 olarak bulunmuştur. Ki-kare serbestlik derecesi ile ilgili olarak Koyuncu ve Kılıç (2019) bazı kaynaklara göre model uyumunu incelemek için çok sayıda farklı indeks olduğunu ancak yeteri kadar mantıksal ve istatistiksel bir temellendirmeye sahip olmayan χ2/sd değerinin model uyumu için yeterli bir ölçüt olmayabileceğini belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca bazı araştırmacılar (Anderson ve Gerbing, 1984;Çokluk, Şekerçioğlu ve Büyüköztürk, 2012ve Kline, 2005 5'ten küçük olması gerektiğini ifade etmektedirler.…”
