“…The included instruments are categorized into three categories of recommendations: (A) instruments that have the potential to be recommended as the most suitable instrument for the construct and population of interest (i.e., instruments with evidence for sufficient content validity (any level) and at least low evidence for sufficient internal consistency); (B) instruments that may have the potential to be recommended, but further validation studies are needed (i.e., instruments categorized not in A or C) and (C) instruments that should not be recommended (i.e., instruments with high‐quality evidence for an insufficient measurement property; de Freitas et al, 2022 ; Prinsen et al, 2018 ). The step is formulated concerning the quality of the evidence, construct of interest and study population.…”

The psychometric properties of nursing image measurement instruments: A systematic review

Aim: To identify the measures assessing the nursing image, and to analyse, evaluate and synthesize the psychometric properties of these available instruments. Design:A systematic review of the psychometric properties of instruments assessing the nursing image. The system review has been registered in the PROSPERO database with the registration number CRD42020221511. Methods:The systematic review was conducted according to COSMIN guidelines.Search strategies were run in CINAHL, MEDLINE, APA PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, COSMIN systematic review database, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracting the psychometric properties of the included study characteristics and instruments. The methodological quality of the studies, instrument measurement performance, risk of bias and grade of evidence were evaluated and disagreements were resolved via discussion. Results:The search strategy yielded a total of 24 studies and 11 instruments assessing nursing image. None of the measures fulfilled all criteria in the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist. The Nurses Self-Concept Instrument (NSCI) and the Nurses Self-Concept Questionnaire (NSCQ) were recommended for measuring the professional image of nursing, and the Nursing Brand Image Scale (NBIS) have the potential to be recommended for measuring a more comprehensive image of nursing. Every instrument evaluated in this review had different characteristics in the nursing image (e.g. the traditional image, the professional image, and the brand image). Therefore, the selection of the most appropriate instrument depends on the psychometrics, the context and the aim of the assessment.

“…Wheelchair mobility in performing quick-turning, forward, and reverse patterns is paramount to optimal performance in WB ( De Freitas et al, 2023 ). While proper muscular and aerobic training is critical to ensure optimal gameplay, ergonomic factors of the wheelchair can impact mobility significantly and should be carefully tailored to each athlete.…”

“…Wheelchair type and build should also take impairment level into account ( Veeger et al, 2019 ). The frame, front wheels, backrest, footrest, antitip mechanism, rear axle, and main wheels are the essential components of a WB wheelchair ( De Freitas et al, 2023 ).…”

“…Alternative wheelchair and interface configurations can be considered based on WB functional level categorization ( De Freitas et al, 2023 ). Active trunk stability and rotation have been identified as essential performance variables and are critical factors in the current WB categorization scheme ( Rice et al, 2022 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to review the various risks and benefits of wheelchair basketball (WB) and explore some of the research which outlines factors that influence WB player performance and conditioning. WB offers several physical and psychological advantages. Physically, it can improve muscle strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness while decreasing the prevalence of chronic physical disorders. From a psychological standpoint, WB has been shown to alleviate anxiety and feelings of depression while also creating and improving social relationships. Despite the many benefits, WB can cause injuries, particularly in the upper extremities, and preventative measures should be employed. WB necessitates intense intermittent efforts and athletes must maintain excellent cardiovascular fitness, strength, and muscular endurance. Healthy sleeping patterns have also been shown to improve performance in WB players. Wheelchair mobility and biomechanical variables as well as wheelchair size and weight appear to be critical success elements in WB. WB can be a powerful tool for coaches and therapists to boost the physical and emotional health of individuals with disabilities and motivate them to participate in team-based sport.
