“…[35] However, very few studies validated these two measures in our target population (stages 4 and 5 CKD). [35,36] The review also identified the IPOS-Renal (11 items), [37] which was undergoing validation at the time.…”

“…POS is widely used in clinical care, audit, research, and training and it was validated in several languages [4,5]. The POS measures have been used in different patients populations such as patients with cancer, respiratory, heart, renal or liver failure, and neurological diseases [6][7][8][9][10]. POS-S was developed as an addition to POS to be used as a brief tool specifically focused on physical symptoms [11].…”

Psychometric properties of the Czech Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale: reliability and content validity analysis

et al. 2020

Background: Outcome measurement is an essential part of the evaluation of palliative care and the measurements need to be reliable, valid and adapted to the culture in which they are used. The Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale (IPOS) is a widely used tool for assessing personal-level outcomes in palliative care. The aim of this study was to provide Czech version of IPOS and assess its psychometric properties. Methods: Patients receiving palliative care in hospice or hospitals completed the IPOS. The reliability of Czech IPOS was tested with Cronbach alpha (for internal consistency), the intraclass correlation coefficient for total IPOS score and weighted Kappa (for test-retest reliability of individual items). Factor analysis was used for elucidating the construct (Exploratory Factor Analysis). Convergent validity was tested with correlation analysis (Spearman correlation) in a part of the sample, who completed also the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and the Palliative Performance Scale (PPS). Results: The sample consisted of 140 patients (mean age 72; 90 women; 81% oncological disease). The Cronbach alpha was 0.789; intraclass correlation was 0.88. The correlations of IPOS with ESAS was R = 0.4 and PPS R = − 0.2. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 2-factor solution on our data. The first factor covers emotional and information needs and the second factor covers physical symptoms. Conclusion: Czech IPOS has very good reliability regarding both internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Together with an item analysis results, we can conclude that the Czech adaptation of the tool was successful. The convergent validity needs to be assessed on the larger sample and the proposed 2-factor internal structure of the questionnaire has to be confirmed by using CFA.

Validation of the IPOS-Renal Symptom Survey in Advanced Kidney Disease: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract: The IPOS-renal surveys, patient and staff versions, have good test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity in patients with advanced kidney disease and their nurses. We recommend their use in symptom assessment.
