Reliability and Validity of the ICF-CY Self-Care Sets in Children with Cerebral Palsy / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To analyze the reliability and validity of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY) Self-care Sets for the children with cerebral palsy. Methods 50 children with cerebral palsy were involved in this study. The functional evaluation was assessed by ICF-CY Self-care Sets, Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM) and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). The reliability was analyzed with kappa correlation statistics. The concurrent criterion validity was analyzed with Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. Results The kappa value of test-retest reliability of 8 categories of ICF-CY Self-care Sets was 0.806~0.932, excellent. The kappa value of interrater reliability of 8 categories of ICF-CY Self-care Sets was 0.690~0.882, from moderate to excellent. The correlation analysis showed that the total score of the ICF-CY Self-care Sets was associated with the scores of WeeFIM (r=-0.832, P<0.01) and PEDI (r=-0.767, P<0.01). Conclusion The ICF-CY Self-care Sets are reliable and valid as a measurement for children with cerebral palsy.
