بهبودی و بازیابی یک بیماری بحرانی

چکیده انگلیسی

Objective
To develop an expert-informed (including end users) recovery goal menu for adults recovering from critical illness applicable to the community/home setting.
Research methodology/design
Stage 1 Item generation: iterative development of domains, sub-domains, and goals in consultation with former intensive care patients, family members and expert clinicians. Stage 2 Content validity assessment: cognitive interviews and the content validity index.
Setting
Virtual consultation meetings facilitated by the research team at King’s College London and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
Main outcome measures
Content validity as assessed by: the Item-Content Validity Index (I-CVI), Scale Level-Content Validity Index/Universal Agreement (S-CVI/UA) score, the Scale Level-Content Validity Index/Average (S-CVI/Ave) score and Average Content Validity Ratio (CVR).
Results
Item generation resulted in a goal menu comprising 4 domains, 22 sub-domains and 95 goals assigned as follows: Self-care: 9 sub-domains with 37 goals, Productivity: 7 sub-domains with 13 goals, Leisure: 3 sub-domains with 25 goals, and Person domain 3 sub-domains with 20 goals. Cognitive interviews resulted in addition of 79 goals and modification of 7, addition of 4 new sub-domains and modification of 4, thus resulting in 4 domains, 26 sub-domains with a total of 174 goals. Twenty-four sub-domains (169 goals) were deemed relevant with Item-Content Validity Index (I-CVI) scores ranging from 0.72 to 1. Two sub-domains (5 goals) did not meet the 0.7 cut-off and were removed. The Scale Level-Content Validity Index/Universal Agreement (S-CVI/UA) score was 0.46; the Scale Level-Content Validity Index/Average (S-CVI/Ave) 0.91. Average Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was 0.93.
Conclusion
An expert informed recovery goal menu for former intensive care patients has been developed with excellent content validity. The final goal menu comprises 169 goals within 24 sub-domains grouped under 4 domains.
Implications for Clinical Practice
This menu will help patients to set goals and increase our understanding of how individuals recover from critical illness.
