Dolu bardak testinin kronik bel ağrılı hastalarda geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışması

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kronik mekanik bel ağrısı olan hastalarda ağrı düzeylerinin Dolu Bardak Testi ile değerlendirilerek geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışmasını yapmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya kronik bel ağrısı olan 18 yaşın üstündeki 100 hasta (70’i kadın, 30’u erkek) dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik bilgileri ile demografik ve klinik verileri kaydedildi. Hastaların ağrı durumu Görsel Analog Skalası ve Dolu Bardak Testi; fonksiyonel durumu Oswestry Özürlülük İndeksi; yaşam kalitesi ise Nottingham Sağlık Profili ile değerlendirildi. Hastalara ilk gün birbirinden bağımsız iki gözlemci (G1 ve G2) tarafından Dolu Bardak Testi uygulandı. Ayrıca hastalar aynı gün G1 tara- fından Görsel Analog Skalası, Oswestry Özürlülük İndeksi ve Nottingham Sağlık Profili ile değerlendirildi. İlk uygulamadan üç gün sonra hastalara, G1 tarafından Dolu Bardak Testi tekrar uygulandı. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 56,04±12,33 yıl, beden kitle indeksi ortalamaları 27,7±4,3 kg/m² idi. Dolu Bardak Testinin güvenilirlik analiz değerlendirmesinde gözlemci içi uyumu gösteren ICC değeri 0,989, gözlemciler arası uyumu gösteren ICC değeri 0,984 ve Cronbach’s alfa güvenilirlik katsayısı ise α=0,994 olarak bulundu. Ölçek geçerliliği test edildiğinde Dolu Bardak Testinin Görsel Analog Skalası, Oswestry Özürlülük İndeksi ve Nottingham Sağlık Profilinin sosyal izolasyon hariç tüm alt grup- ları ile arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki tespit edildi (p

Validity and reliability of the full cup test in patients with chronic low back pain

Objectives: This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the full cup test (FCT), evaluating the pain severity in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: A total of 100 patients (70 women and 30 men) aged over 18 years with mechanical low back pain were enrolled in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. Pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and FCT, the functional state was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the quality of life was assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). FCT was performed on the 1st day by two independent observers (G1 and G2) and 3 days after the first application, patients were readministered the FCT by G1. Results: The mean age of participants was 56.04±12.33 years and mean body mass index was 27.7±4.3 kg/m². The reliability of the FCT and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was found to be 0.989 for intrarater compliance, ICC was found to be 0.984 for inter-rater compliance, and Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was α=0.994. External construct validity of the scale was confirmed with expected correlations with all subgroups of NHP except for social isolation, VAS and ODI (p
