“…However, scales verified by factor analysis are sometimes adapted and used in other cultures, and sometimes used for groups with different personalities from the target group to which they responded during the scale development. Therefore, to evaluate the fit and difficulty of the items accurately even for the items whose validity has been confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis, it is necessary to verify them with other statistical methods that are less affected by the respondent’s characteristics [ 39 ]. This study identified additional accurate psychometric properties of CDS such as the fit and difficulty of items as compared to Park’s [ 20 ] previous confirmatory factor analysis results.…”

Background The Caregiving Difficulty Scale is used to measure the burden of caregiving experienced by mothers of children with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to identify the psychometric properties of the Caregiving Difficulty Scale using the Rasch model. Methods Data collected from 206 mothers of children with cerebral palsy were analyzed. Unidimensionality, difficulty of item, rating scale appropriateness, and reliability using the separation index of the Caregiving Difficulty Scale were verified. Unidimensionality of all 25 items was identified through the item fit. Results Our analysis of item difficulty indicated that person ability and item difficulty are expressed as a similar logit extend. The use of the 5-point rating scale appeared to be appropriate. Outcome analysis revealed that the reliability was high based on the person and that the item separation level was acceptable. Conclusions This study showed that the Caregiving Difficulty Scale could be a valuable tool for evaluating the caregiving burden in mothers of children with cerebral palsy.

“…These results are consistent with the findings of previous studies that report that the phenomenon of depression appeared in the age range of 21 years to 59 years due to factors of productive age (profession and self-confidence) and the feeling of being a burden on others. [ 51 - 53 ]…”

BACKGROUND: Depression is a major mental problem in the elderly, particularly those with disability. This study’s aim was to identify variables that predict depression in the elderly with disabilities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Gunungkidul Regency and Yogyakarta City from April to June 2021. The study participants were community-dwelling elderly aged 60 years and above with disabilities, who could communicate verbally without any apparent cognitive impairment. Data was collected by interviewing participants using structured questionnaire on following sections: Demographic characteristics, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Washington Group Short Set (WG-SS), Barthel Index of activities of daily living (ADL), Lawton Instrumental ADL (IADL) Scale, and Geriatric Depression Scale-30 (GDS-30). Multivariate linear regression analysis applied to identify variables significantly correlated with depression. Multinomial logistic regression analysis performed to obtain the odds ratio (OR). RESULTS: Study included 115 elderly persons with disabilities. Most of them had mobility impairment. Higher independence in ADL and being married were related with lower risk of depression, whereas increased age at disability increased the risk of depression (P = 0.001). The elderly who had greater independence with daily activities were less likely to have depression (OR = 0.639 for mild depression and OR = 0.589 for severe depression). Those who were not married were more likely to have mild depression (OR = 3.203) and severe depression (OR = 29.119). compared to the married elderly. Age at acquiring disability was associated with higher risk for mild depression (OR = 1.025) and severe depression (OR = 1.053). Higher independence in ADL and being married were related with lower risk of depression, whereas increased age at disability increased the risk of depression (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Independence in the ADL, being married, and being disabled as a young adult are negative predictors of depression in the elderly with disability.

“…Other variables appear to play a significant role in psychological adjustment of individuals with SMA. It has been observed that disease acceptance is a correlate or predictor of subjective well-being among individuals with chronic physical disabilities [39,40]. A study among adults with various physical disabilities underscored that acceptance of the illness was positively associated with self-acceptance, well-being, positive relations, family satisfaction, and the presence of meaning, defined as the extent to which individuals grasp, make sense of, and find significance in their lives [41,42].…”

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) linked to 5q is a recessive motor neuron disease characterized by progressive and diffuse weakness and muscular atrophy. SMA is the most common neurodegenerative disease in childhood with an incidence of approximately 1 in 6000–10,000 live births, being long considered a leading cause of hereditary mortality in infancy, worldwide. The classification of SMA is based on the natural history of the disease, with a wide clinical spectrum of onset and severity. We are currently in a new therapeutic era, that, thanks to the widespread use of the newly approved disease-modifying therapies and the possibility of an early administration, should lead to a deep change in the clinical scenario and, thus, in the history of SMA. With the aim to achieve a new view of SMA, in this review we consider different aspects of this neuromuscular disease: the historical perspective, the clinical features, the diagnostic process, the psychological outcome, innovation in treatments and therapies, the possibility of an early identification of affected infants in the pre-symptomatic phase through newborn screening programs.
