Cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties of the French version of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales—Revised (TAPES-R)

Abstract

Background The Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised (TAPES-R) is a selfadministered questionnaire to measure multidimensional adjustment to a prosthetic limb. Our aim was to assess the validity and reliability of the French version of the TAPES-R (TAPES-R-F). Materials and methods The cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to the recommendations. Factor analysis and Rasch analysis were also performed to allow comparison with the original English version. Construct validity was assessed by measuring the correlations between TAPES-R-F subscores and quality of life, pain, body image satisfaction, anxiety and depression. Internal consistency was measured with Cronbach's α. The standard error of measurement, smallest detectable change, Bland and Altman limits of agreement, and intraclass correlation were the measures of agreement and reliability. Results No major difficulties were encountered throughout the trans-cultural adaptation process. The final version of the TAPES-R-F was well accepted and understood by the patients. According to the factor analysis, the satisfaction scale should be treated as a one

Instrumentos de avaliação do ajuste psicossocial à amputação, uso e satisfação com a prótese: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

“…A escala Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES) foi desenvolvida por Gallagher e MacLachlan 26 na Irlanda e teve sua versão inicial revisada em 2010 por Gallagher et al 27 originando a TAPES-R. Ela já foi validada em alguns países como na França, 28 Turquia 29 e Irã, 30 sendo recentemente realizado o processo de tradução, adaptação cultural e validação para o português do Brasil. 31,32 O objetivo da escala é analisar os processos psicossociais envolvidos na adaptação de um membro artificial, identificar demandas específicas para o uso de uma prótese e as principais origens da falta de adaptação.…”

Recommendations from the ISPO lower-limb COMPASS: Patient-reported and performance-based outcome measures

“…One hundred eight (108) full texts (spanning 60 individual outcome measures) were selected and included. 19,21-128 A flow diagram of the study selection process according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline 129 can be viewed in Figure 1. 10,11 The quality of included studies investigating the psychometric properties of outcome measures according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) risk of bias checklists ranged from “inadequate” through to “very good,” 10,11 with the kappa coefficient for quality assessment ranging from moderate to almost perfect agreement (k = 0.566–0.859).…”

The client satisfaction with device: a Rasch validation of the Arabic version in patients with upper and lower limb amputation

“…The incidence of amputation varies in different countries, ranging between 1.2 and 4.4 cases per 10,000 inhabitants per year. It is estimated that the demographic changes and increasing incidence of diabetes might double the number of amputations over the next 30 years [ 1 ].…”
