Validation of Persian Version of Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation: Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Rasch Analysis

Abstract

Objectives To determine the factor structure and test the clinometric properties of wrist and hand version of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation. Design Cross-sectional study using Rasch analysis and factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the factor structure. Higher-order factor analysis was used to explore the hierarchical structure of the items. The Rasch model was used to assess the overall fit, reliability, validity, and construct unidimensionality. Rasch analysis and factor analysis were conducted using RUMM2030 and LISREL software, respectively. Setting Outpatient hand rehabilitation clinic. Participants A convenience sample of patients (N=206) with various hand injuries who completed the Persian version of the Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE-P) at 2 months postinjury. The study included 66 men and 139 women, with a mean age of 40 years. Intervention Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The PRWHE-P was used as a patient-reported measure of pain and disability in wrist and hand conditions. Results Factor analysis confirmed 3-factor models of the PRWHE-P. Items fit well to the Rasch model in 3 subscales. The PRWHE-P had a good item reliability (0.82) and good internal consistency (0.8). No differential item functioning was detected for age, sex, dominant hand, or injured hand. Conclusions The results of this study indicated that the PRWHE-P with 3 sub scales is a reliable and valid measurement tool and could be used in patients with different wrist and hand disabilities.

“…The test was carried out in several stages, namely model specification, model identification, model estimation, model suitability test, and model specification. The influence of the variable is deemed significant in the process of proving the hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05 (Abraham et al, 2020;Cheah et al, 2020;Farzad et al, 2020;Mikulić & Ryan, 2018). The use of PLS is thought to be a viable alternative to highlight the complexity of the relationship between two constructs and is thought to be able to highlight the function of mediating and moderating variables, such as word-of-mouth (knowledge about usury).…”

Factor structure of Participation Behavioural Questionnaire (PBQ) in patients with hand injuries

“…The results from a systematic review of the content of existing generic participation measures indicated that no existing participation measure covers the complete set of participation domains identified in the ICF, and different PROMs address different domains of participation. They also reported that many PROMs measure a mixture of concepts (e.g., activity, symptoms) and participation [31,40]. Some outcome measures evaluate disability in hand injured patients, which contains some items that measure participation; however, there is no specific outcome measure to evaluate participation [13,41,42].…”

“…Data analysis was carried out by performing Structural Equation Modeling with the LISREL (Aktepe et al, 2015;Bellini et al, 2017;Tiwari et al, 2020). The testing requirements are based on five stages in the SEM procedure, namely; Model Specifications, Model Identification, Model Estimation, Model Fit Test, and Model Respecification (Researchers use a confirmatory modeling strategy that does not require respecification) (Abraham et al, 2020;Cheah et al, 2020;Farzad et al, 2020;Mikuli & Ryan, 2018).…”
