“…In addition to comments on face and content validity, format, and ease of usage, participants provided insightful recommendations for future HDQ revision to increase its applicability and feasibility for use in research and clinical settings. Results of the sensibility assessment are published elsewhere (O'Brien et al, 2013). Our focus in this article is to describe the strengths and challenges of our qualitative team-based approach.…”

“…Specific objectives are to (1) present our team approach to data collection and qualitative directed content analysis (methods) and (2) discuss the strengths and challenges associated with this approach (results and discussion). Rather than present the sensibility assessment findings of the HDQ, which are published elsewhere (O'Brien et al, 2013), our primary focus is to describe our process of using a qualitative team approach for directed content analysis of interview data. By providing a detailed account of our methodological process, other researchers will be better informed to consider this approach when assessing the sensibility of a newly developed questionnaire.…”

“…The framework provided a foundation for our interview guide and coding scheme-six of the category codes in our coding scheme (purpose, face validity, content validity, ease of usage, response sets, and format) were derived from the framework whereas the remaining four category codes (overall impressions of the HDQ, episodic component, title, and additional emerging themes for consideration) were added specifically to further inform the refinement of the HDQ. Using this framework enabled us to comprehensively assess the sensibility of the HDQ (O'Brien et al, 2013). Finally, with our team of analysts, it was imperative to establish a systematic process for data management and coding at the outset of the study.…”

The purpose of this article is to describe our experience using a qualitative team approach and predetermined theoretical framework to assess sensibility of a newly developed HIV disability questionnaire. Two interviewers conducted structured qualitative interviews with 22 adults living with HIV, asking participants how well the questionnaire characterized the disability they experienced living with HIV. Data collection and analysis occurred over six stages with four analysts who met throughout. Strengths of our approach included the ability to assess the sensibility of the questionnaire from the perspective of adults living with HIV, collect and analyze data across multiple sites, establish a systematic team analytical process, and enhance rigour through multiple coding, team reflexivity, and interviewer and analyst triangulation. Challenges included increased resources required to coordinate and implement this approach, differential recruitment rates, initial divergent analytical styles, and the potential to miss emerging codes given the structured nature of the analysis. This article offers a methodological process for researchers to use a qualitative team approach with directed content analysis to assess the sensibility of a new health status questionnaire.

“…In an earlier assessment of HDQ sensibility, adults living with HIV and clinicians who work in HIV care supported the term ''disability'' representing the construct of interest in the HDQ. Disability collectively represented the health-challenges defined by adults living with HIV described in the Episodic Disability Framework [18].…”

“…Development of a new questionnaire requires multiple stages of comprehensive and rigorous assessment and refinement. We previously demonstrated that the HDQ has face and content validity and is easy to use with adults living with HIV [18]. However, the true domains of disability (or scoring structure) of this instrument was unknown.…”

The HDQ has six domains: physical symptoms and impairments; cognitive symptoms and impairments; mental and emotional health symptoms and impairments; uncertainty; difficulties with day-to-day activities and challenges to social inclusion. These domains establish the scoring structure for the dimensions of disability measured by the HDQ. Implications for Rehabilitation As individuals live longer and age with HIV, they may be living with the health-related consequences of HIV and concurrent health conditions, a concept that may be termed disability. Measuring disability is important to understand the impact of HIV and its comorbidities. The HIV Disability Questionnaire (HDQ) is a self-administered questionnaire developed to describe the presence, severity and episodic nature of disability experienced by people living with HIV. The HDQ is comprised of six domains of disability including: physical symptoms and impairments (20 items); cognitive symptoms and impairments (3 items); mental and emotional health symptoms and impairments (11 items); uncertainty (14 items); difficulties with day-to-day activities (9 items) and challenges to social inclusion (12 items). These domains represent the dimensions of disability measured by the HDQ. The HDQ is the first known HIV-specific disability measure for adults living with HIV. The HDQ may be used by clinicians and researchers to assess disability experienced by adults living with HIV.

Medical learners’ achievement emotions during educational activities have remained unexamined in Asian cultural contexts. The Medical Emotion Scale (MES) was previously developed to assess achievement emotions experienced by North American medical learners during learning activities. The goal of this study was to create and validate a Japanese version of the Medical Emotion Scale (J-MES). We translated the MES into Japanese and conducted two initial validation studies of the J-MES. In the first pilot study, we asked five, native-Japanese, second-year medical students to assess their emotions with the J-MES during a computer-based clinical reasoning activity. Each participant was then interviewed to assess the clarity and suitability of the items. In a second, larger study, 41 Japanese medical students were recruited to assess the psychometric properties of the J-MES. We also conducted individual, semi-structured interviews with ten of these participants to explore potential cultural features in the achievement emotions of Japanese students. The first pilot study demonstrated that the J-MES descriptions were clear, and that the scale captured an appropriate range of emotions. The second study revealed that the J-MES scale’s profiles and internal structure were largely consistent with control-value theory. The achievement emotions of pride, compassion, and surprise in the J-MES were found to be susceptible to cultural differences between North American and Japanese contexts. Our findings clearly demonstrated the scoring capacity, generalizability, and extrapolability of the J-MES.
