Book Description

From time to time in the field of healthcare, an exciting new development emerges to challenge and potentially transform thinking and behaviour. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and its framework is undoubtedly one of these transformative resources and is increasingly widely used in the field of childhood disability. This accessible handbook introduces the ICF to professionals working with children with disabilities and their families. It contains an overview of the elements of the ICF but focusses on practical applications, including how the ICF framework can be used with children, families and carers to formulate health and management goals. The Appendices contain case studies for individuals and interdisciplinary teams to work through and discuss, alongside other resources, and a copy of an ICF code set for children and youth is available to download online. Importantly, the book includes a chapter written by a parent of a child with impairments, illustrating the potential diverse applications of the ICF framework. The ICF’s relationship with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and future alternatives to the current ICF framework are also examined. Clinicians, paediatricians and other healthcare providers in neurodisability, community-based health professionals, policy makers and the families and carers of children with disabilities will find this title an indispensable resource.

Book Description

Background: World Health Organization established the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) (WHO, 2001) to determine the functioning and disability of patients in different health conditions in a comprehensive way. The ICF has more than 1400 categories, but in each health condition only categories that better describe the patient's functioning in that health condition are used. This is called the ICF Core-Sets (ICF-CS).Objective: Shows the main characteristics of the studies that try to analyze if the categories of the different ICF Core-Sets are adequate and enough to evaluate the functionality and disability of patients.Method: We did an analysis of articles that investigate the issue of the proper functioning - validation (adequacy and sufficiency) of ICF Core-Sets in practice to assess the disability and functioning of the patients. The review was conducted on WoS and Scopus databases and spanned from the years of 2007 to september 2018.Results: 19 articles were selected that met the established criteria. Some of the results that were found were that 84.21% of the studies investigated the functioning of the Core-Sets using a single country, that most of the studies focus on two health conditions: Osteoarthritis (21.05% of studies) and Low Back Pain (15.79%). Other result we found that not all the studies reported the number of centers, clinics or hospitals where they evaluated the functioning of the ICF-CS, only 15 studies reported about this. One of these studies did it in 34 centers, other in 14 hospitals and another in 5 sites. The rest (13 studies) did it in 4 centers or less. Discussion: We conclude that the studies of the functioning (adequacy and sufficiency) of the ICF-Core-Sets should include different countries to analyze the validity at a cross-cultural level since it was found that most of them were carried out considering only one country, for example, consider at least one country from each of the six WHO regions. Another conclusion was that it is necessary more hospitals to have a greater diversity in the sample by study, because generally 4 centers or less were used. Finally, in the future, more studies should be conducted to evaluate the ICF-CS of more health conditions, especially mental health conditions, because in this research we did not find many.

Book Description

This book combines an overview of validity theory, trends in validation practices and a review of standards and guidelines in several international jurisdictions with research synthesis of the validity evidence in different research areas. An overview of theory is both useful and timely, in view of the increased use of tests and measures for decision-making, ranking and policy purposes in large-scale testing, assessment and social indicators and quality of life research. Research synthesis is needed to help us assemble, critically appraise and integrate the overwhelming volume of research on validity in different contexts. Rather than examining whether any given measure is “valid”, the focus is on a critical appraisal of the kinds of validity evidence reported in the published research literature. The five sources of validity evidence discussed are: content-related, response processes, internal structure, associations with other variables and consequences. The 15 syntheses included here, represent a broad sampling of psychosocial, health, medical and educational research settings, giving us an extensive evidential basis to build upon earlier studies. The book concludes with a meta-synthesis of the 15 syntheses and a discussion of the current thinking of validation practices by leading experts in the field.
