简要总结
PURPOSE:
Is to test the feasibility and the reliability of the Arabic version of wee functional independence measure (weeFIM) in children with healed burns.
BACKGROUND:
Since kids are the most influenced casualty of burn and they may have lasting disabilities because of this harm, consequently they should have care in evaluation and treatment procedure in exploration.
There are two main instruments that can be utilized to evaluate the function of young kid's which are the Functional independence measure for kids (WeeFIM) instrument and the Pediatric evaluation of disability inventory (PEDI) instrument.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and feasibility of the Arabic version of the WeeFIM instrument in kids from 3 years to 16 years of age with healed burn.
HYPOTHESES:
Arabic version of WeeFIM questionnaire will not be feasible and reliable to measure and report the functional outcome of kids with healed burns.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
Is the Arabic version of weeFIM instrument feasible and reliable enough to measure and report the functional outcome of children with healed burns?
详细描述
- First the weeFIM will undergo forward Arabic translation followed by English backward translation.
- Second the instrument will be adapted to Egyptian accent.
- Third the process of filling of questionnaire will be applied. It will be either parent filled or child filled. And will be performed by interview for illiterate patients.
- Last, statistical analysis for feasibility and reliability will be performed.

结局指标
主要结局
Content validity
时间窗: Change from Baseline, after 2 weeks postburn.
In this study, content validity (items' relevance and adequacy for the intended use) of the Arabic version of the WeeFIM instrument was assessed. Content validity deals with the extent to which an instrument reflects the meaningful elements of the content without extraneous elements \[19\].
Reliability
时间窗: Change from Baseline, after 2 weeks postburn.
The reliability of the Arabic version of the WeeFIM instrument was assessed by a test-retest procedure. First, the researcher collected a random sample of participants. Second, the researchers explained the procedure to the participants. Third, the researchers explained the items of the questionnaire to the participants. Fourth, the participants were asked to fill the scale with score-1. Fifth, one week apart, they were asked to re-fill the scale with score-2. Sixth, test-retest reliability was analysed by using Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) and internal consistency was measured by using Cronbach's alpha Coefficient.
