“…Younus et al also confirmed the very good repeatability of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0 [ 34 ], and likewise, good consistency over time (1 week) was also affirmed by Moreira et al, who used the test–retest method and obtained an ICC of 0.77 [ 37 ]. Similar test–retest values (ICC value of 0.88) were obtained by Marom et al [ 38 ].…”

Background: The assessment of disability in a population is an important part of public health management. In this article, we examine the psychometric properties and validation of the Polish version of the 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. (12-item WHODAS 2.0). Methods: A systematic random sample comprised 584 adult urban residents. The Polish version of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0 and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF, Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire were used to assess disability and quality of life, respectively. Basic sociodemographic data and selected healthrelated data (e.g., pain and depressive moods) were also collected. Results: Good scale score reliability for the entire tool was confirmed in the study population (Cronbach's α = 0.90; Composite reliability = 0.95). In confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), satisfactory values of the fit indices were obtained (comparative fit index, CFI = 0.999; Tucker-Lewis Index, TLI = 0.999; root mean square error of approximation, RMSEA = 0.004; standardized root mean square residual, SRMR = 0.043, p = 0.454). Good consistency was noted over time (correlation coefficient = 0.88). The tool was found to have an appropriate level of validity. Conclusions: We found that the 12-item WHODAS is short and easy to use, and it is suitable for use in the form of an interview during screening tests. This tool is appropriate for measuring the health status, functioning, and disability of an average population. It may be more relevant for studying populations with health problems. The 12item WHODAS can be used to successfully obtain information about the general level of disability in a population.

Aims To analyze the association between urinary incontinence and disability status in premenopausal women. Materials and Methods The study included 120 premenopausal women recruited from six Basic Family Health Units to participate in this study. We assessed sociodemographic, gynecological, and obstetric data by using specific questions. The International Continence Society's definitions were applied to determine the presence and type of urinary incontinence, and the disability was assessed by using the 36‐item version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0. Results The WHODAS scores showed that women with urinary incontinence had a worse disability in cognition (P = .023) and mobility (P = .020) domains, in addition to the total score (P = .23). Women with mixed urinary incontinence had a worse disability in mobility domain (P = .039) than those with stress or urgency incontinence. Qualitative analyses of disability showed a significant difference between women with and without urinary incontinence (P = .033), with higher percentages of incontinent women with moderate and severe disability. Women who reported urinary incontinence had 7.69 more points on the final score of WHODAS than those who did not report this outcome. Conclusions Urinary incontinence in women of reproductive age is associated with disability and worse scores of WHODAS when we compare them to women without urine leakage. The results presented can be useful for designing and adapting strategies for comprehensive care of women with urinary incontinence and disability, and developing rehabilitation programs based on functioning.

“…The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) short form (Üstün, Kostanjsek, Chatterji, & Rehm, ) is a 12‐item self‐report instrument that was used to assess each participant's domains of functioning associated with a health condition caused by the injury that led to hospitalization, including cognition, mobility, self‐care, getting along with other people, life activities, and participation in community activities. The instrument has been used to measure disability among general populations in many LMICs, including Kenya (Gomez‐Olive et al., ) as well as in populations with various medical conditions (Bachani et al., ; Hanass‐Hancock, Myezwa, & Carpenter, ; Marom, Carel, Sharabi, & Ratzon, ). Evaluation of the WHODAS 2.0's psychometric properties across multiple LMICs has supported measurement invariance and the unidimensional property of the scale (Sousa et al., ).…”

Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) have been consistently associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the extent of association and attribution to subsequent disability has varied, with limited studies conducted in urban low-income contexts. This longitudinal study estimated the trajectory of PTSD symptoms up to 7 months after hospitalization and the associated disability level among adult patients who had been hospitalized due to injury. Adult injury patients (N = 476) admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, were interviewed in person in the hospital, and via phone at 1, 2–3, and 4–7 months after hospital discharge. Using latent growth curve modeling, two trajectories of PTSD symptoms emerged: (a) persistently elevated PTSD symptoms (9.2%), and (b) low PTSD symptoms (90.8%). Number of PTEs experienced remained moderately associated with the elevated trajectory after controlling for in-hospital depressive symptoms. Having previously witnessed killings or serious injuries, AOR = 2.32, 95% CI [1.07, 5.05]; being female, AOR = 4.74, 95% CI [4.53, 4.96]; elevated depressive symptoms during hospitalization, AOR = 2.96, 95% CI [1.28, 6.83]; and having no household savings/assets, AOR = 1.28, 95% CI [1.13, 1.44], were associated with the elevated PTSD symptoms trajectory class after controlling for other risk factors. Latent membership in the elevated PTSD trajectory was associated with a significantly higher level of disability several months after hospital discharge, p < .001, after controlling for injury and demographic characteristics. These results underline the associations between in-hospital depressive symptoms, witnessing atrocities, and poverty and an elevated PTSD symptoms trajectory.
