“…It was reported that the use of daily routines would support accurate medication use (31% of the participants) (e.g., weekly pillboxes, annotated medication labels and association of medication intake with meals). On the SMAT-PT, the scores obtained with the real regimen were better than the scores obtained with the simulated regimen, indicating the complications that have already been mentioned by other authors regarding treatment and the apprehension of new information 1 , 3 , 52 , 53 .…”

Daily medication use can be affected by the gradual loss of functional ability. Thus, elderly patients are at risk for nonadherence due to functional decline, namely, decreases in cognitive skills and visual and manual dexterity. The main objective was to assess the ability of older people to self-manage their medication and to identify the main predictors for unintentional nonadherence. A cross-sectional study was conducted (2014–2017) in community centers and pharmacies. Functional assessment was performed with the Portuguese versions of the Drug Regimen Unassisted Grading Scale (DRUGS-PT) and the Self-Medication Assessment Tool (SMAT-PT). A purposive sample including 207 elderly patients was obtained. To identify the main predictors, binary logistic regression was performed. The average DRUGS-PT score was slightly lower than that in other studies. On the SMAT-PT, the greatest challenge for patients was identifying medications by reading labels/prescriptions. The main difficulties identified were medication memorization and correct schedule identification. The scores were higher with the real regimen than with the simulated regimen, underlining the difficulties for patients in receiving new information. Regarding the predictors of an older individual’s ability to self-manage medications, two explanatory models were obtained, with very high areas under the curve (> 90%). The main predictors identified were cognitive ability, level of schooling and daily medication consumption.

“…The surgical and mental health consumers rated one domain exploring the (5) design of the tool. Again both participants groups used a five-point Likert scale to score each question (score range 1–5 with 1 = not useful/unthorough/not well designed and 5 = very useful/thorough/well designed), which was developed using other measures of face validity as a guide for this assessment [ 18 , 19 ]. Participants were advised ‘Face Validity’ is assessing whether the tools are appropriate for the aim of preoperative mental health screening for all routine surgical patients.…”

“…Survey response data was stored within a Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database. A basic descriptive analysis was performed according to participant grouping of clinicians and consumers using SPSS Software version 25 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA).Consensus was achieved through a rating of 4 or 5 being given by 70% or more of participants, with domains able to remain unchanged.This was based on similar approaches previously described whereby between 60 and 80% of support is required [ 18 , 20 , 21 ]. Questions that received lower consensus percentages were established as areas requiring future revision to improve the tool for use in the routine surgical setting..…”

Acceptability and face validity of two mental health screening tools for use in the routine surgical setting

Background Preoperative assessment of mental health rarely occurs within routine surgery. Any screening tool selected to form part of this process must be deemed practical, acceptable and valid by clinicians and consumers alike. This study aims to assess the acceptability and face validity of two existing mental health screening tools to select one for further development and use in the routine surgical setting. Methods A survey of clinicians and consumers was conducted from October 2020 to March 2021 at a tertiary hospital in Sydney, Australia. Using a Likert scale (1–5, lowest to highest rating), the clinicians evaluated four domains for acceptability and two for validity (six overall) and the consumers four domains for acceptability and one for validity (five overall) on the preoperative use of the amended Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and the Somatic and Psychological Health Report-12 (SPHERE-12). Consensus was achieved through a rating of 4 or 5 being given by 70% or more of participants with domains able to remain unchanged. Free text responses were analysed into themes. Results A total of 73 participants (51 clinicians; 22 consumers) were included. The K10 received consensus scores (≥ 70%) in four out of six domains for clinicians (4/4 acceptability; 0/2 validity), and all five domains for consumers (4/4 acceptability; 1/1 validity). The SPHERE-12 received consensus scores (≥ 70%) in three domains for clinicians (3/4 acceptability; 0/2 validity), and three domains for consumers (3/4 acceptability; 0/1 validity). Six qualitative themes were described including (1) amendments to tool structure and language; (2) scale response options; (3) difficulty with somatic questions; (4) practicality and familiarity with K10; (5) challenges for specific patient cohorts and (6) timing considerations for patients. Conclusion Adequate acceptability was established for the K10. However further development is required to strengthen its validity for this specific surgical cohort and purpose. Future research to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing and using the K10 in the routine surgical setting is now needed.
