RESUMEN
Background: Injuries are a common occurrence in sports participation; however, they have the potential to be accompanied by negative thoughts and feelings, which may play a part in the athletes' state of mind when they return to their sport. Assessing the degree to which this occurs provides an opportunity to evaluate and address athletes' state of mind before their return to play. Objectives: To determine if athletes are psychologically ready to return to play after an injury and if there are differences in fear avoidance behaviour between those who were and were not ready to return. Methods: Eighty-eight athletes participated in this descriptive survey. Athletes' confidence to return to play was measured by the Injury-Psychological Readiness to Return to Play (I-PRRS) questionnaire and their fear avoidance was measured by the Athlete Fear Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ). Results: Fifty injured athletes with a mean age of 23.3±4.0 years old responded to the I-PRRS and the AFAQ questionnaires. The average I-PRRS score was 46.5±9.1 AU. The evidence suggests that 60% of the athletes were not ready to return to sport (41.0±7.5 AU), whereas 40% were ready to return (54.8±3.1 AU). The difference in scores was not significant. The relationship between the AFAQ scores and the I-PRRS score for the 'ready' and 'not ready' groups was not significant (p=0.066). The mean AFAQ score (26.1±8.6 AU) for the 'not ready' group is marginally greater than the mean AFAQ score (21.6±7.5 AU) for the 'ready' group. There was a negative correlation between psychological readiness to return to sport and athletic fear avoidance (r =-0.508, p<0.001). Conclusion: There needs to be a greater utilisation of psychological assessment tools like the Injury-Psychological Readiness to Return to Play (I-PRRS) questionnaire, which can assist the athlete's support team, who can help identify athletes who are apprehensive about returning to sport after injury.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the global cancer-associated thromboembolism risk assessment tools based on evidence- based methods， and to provide methodological reference and evidence-based basis for constructing a specific tool in China. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted on 6 databases， including CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， CBM， PubMed， and Embase， as well as on the websites of NCCN， ASCO， ESMO and so on with a deadline of June 30， 2022. Furthermore， a supplementary search was conducted in January 2023. The essential characteristics and methodological quality of included risk assessment tools were described and analyzed qualitatively， focusing on comparing each assessment stratification ability. RESULTS Totally 14 risk assessment tools were included in the study， with a sample size of 208-18 956 cases and an average age distribution of 53.1-74.0 years. The applicable population included outpatient cancer student@sina.com patients， lymphoma patients， and multiple myeloma patients，etc. The common predictive factors were body mass index， venous thromboembolism history， and tumor site. All tools had undergone methodological validation， with 9 presented in a weighted scoring format. Only seven tools were used simultaneously for specificity， sensitivity， negative predictive value （NPV）， positive predictive value （PPV） and area under the curve （AUC） or C statistical analysis. CONCLUSIONS The risk of bias in constructing existing tools is high， and the heterogeneity of tool validation results is significant. The overall methodological quality must be improved， and its risk stratification ability must also be investigated. There are still certain limitations in clinical practice in China.

RESUMEN
Objective:To preliminarily develop a fertility motivation scale for infertile women (FMS-IW) and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The FMS-IW was developed according to the theory of self-determination and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and the original item pool was established through clinical psychological counseling practice experience, literature review, consulting clinical psychotherapists, interviewing with infertile women and open-ended questionnaires. The original scale was constructed on item analysis and exploratory factor analysis in 257 infertile women. The formal version of FMS-IW was further adapted by Delphi method and tested in another 392 women to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and reliability test. Furthermore, 56 participants of 392 women were randomly retested with FMS-IW after two weeks.SPSS 25.0 and Amos 24.0 software were used for Spearman analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis.Results:Exploratory factor analysis showed that the FMS-IW was composed of 16 items consisting of two factors: autonomous fertility motivation and controlled fertility motivation. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.18%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well ( χ2/ df=3.292, RMSEA=0.077, SRMR=0.055, GFI=0.902, AGFI=0.871, IFI=0.938, CFI=0.938, TLI=0.928). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the FMS-IW was 0.908. The Cronbach's α coefficient for autonomous and controlled fertility motivation was 0.911 and 0.928, respectively. The parity split-half coefficient of the formal version of FMS-IW was 0.870. The test-retest reliability of the formal version of FMS-IW was 0.823. Conclusion:The FMS-IW has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an effective tool to measure fertility motivation in infertile women.

Introducción: La transición al modelo biopsicosocial implica que las herramientas de evaluación se adapten a esta nueva visión de la salud. Las herramientas usadas en Chile para medir la funcionalidad en las actividades de la vida diaria instrumentales (AVDI) son las mismas desde los años 50, por lo que se requiere hacer una revisión de la literatura a fin de conocer nuevas metodologías de evaluación en la materia. Objetivo: Identificar las herramientas de evaluación en AVDI, qué ítems son considerados, metodología de puntuación (rangos, puntajes, categorización de resultados), tiempo y contexto de aplicación, creadores de las herramientas y propiedades psicométricas de los mismos. Diseño: Revisión sistemática. Fuentes de datos: PubMed, BIREME y Epistemonikos. Se realizaron tres búsquedas: dos el 2018 (marzo y septiembre) y una el 2020 (diciembre). Selección de estudios: Estudios observacionales (estudios de cohorte y estudios de corte transversal) y revisiones sistemáticas que contemplaron la valoración de AVDI en mayores de 18 años, en inglés o español, publicados desde 1998 y de libre acceso. Extracción de datos: Se realizó lectura de títulos y resúmenes como primer filtro, y posteriormente el texto completo. Una vez seleccionados los estudios que cumplen con los criterios de inclusión, se les aplicó la pauta "Strengthening The Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE)" y la pauta "Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Spanish (CASPe)" para evaluar la calidad metodológica. Se estableció, a través de un consenso de las investigadoras, que cada estudio seleccionado debía cumplir con al menos 13 de los 22 ítems de la pauta STROBE. Resultados: De los 27.606 artículos encontrados, 15 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y el punto de corte establecido de la pauta. Sólo un artículo era en idioma español y 14 en inglés; y fueron publicados principalmente en EE.UU. y España. De los 20 instrumentos encontrados en los artículos seleccionados, el 60% corresponde a la "Escala Lawton y Brody", el 10% a la de "The Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS)" y el porcentaje restante otras herramientas. Conclusiones: A nivel internacional se han creado nuevas herramientas de evaluación de AVDI en respuesta a necesidades locales, dificultando la posibilidad de ser generalizadas a otros contextos sin contar previamente con un proceso de validación transcultural y estadística que resguarde la confiabilidad de su aplicación y data. La "Escala de Lawton y Brody", pese a las limitaciones ni sesgos, sigue siendo un patrón de oro a nivel internacional.
Background: The transition to the biopsychosocial model implies that the assessment tools are adapted to this new vision of health. In Chile, the evaluations to measure functionality on Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), have been the same since the 1950s, so a review of the literature is required to know new evaluation tools in the matter. Aim: To identify the evaluation tools that exist to assess the functionality in AVDI, what items are considered, scoring methodology (rank, score, categorization of results), time and in which contexts they are applied, assessment creators and psychometric properties. Design: Systematic review. Data sources: PubMed, BIREME and Epistemonikos. Three searches were carried out: two in 2018 (March and September) and one in 2020 (December). Study selection: Observational studies (cohort studies and cross-sectional studies) and Systematic Reviews that contemplated the assessment of IADL in people over 18 years of age, in English or Spanish, published since 1998 and open access. Data extraction: Titles and abstracts were read as a first filter, followed by the full text. Once the studies that met the inclusion criteria had been selected, the "Strengthening The Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE)" and "Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Spanish (CASPe)" guideline was applied to assess methodological quality. It was established, through a consensus of the researchers, that each selected study had to comply with at least 13 of the 22 items of STROBE guideline. Results: Of the 27.606 articles found, 15 met the inclusion criteria and the established cut-off point of the guideline. One article was written in Spanish and 14 in English, which were carried out mainly in the United States and Spain (3 out of 15 respectively). Of the 20 instruments found in the selected articles, 60% correspond to "Lawton & Brody Scale", 10% to "The Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS)" and the remaining percentage other tools. Conclusions: At an international level, new IADL assessment tools have been created in response to local needs, making it difficult to generalize to other contexts without previously having a cross-cultural and statistical validation process that safeguards the reliability of its application and data. The "Lawton s Brody Scale", despite its limitations and biases, remains an international gold standard.
