The Validity and Reliability Study of the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tool

Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi50 enrolled

Overview

This study is aimed at providing an translation and cross-cultural adaptation of Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tool (CPAx) and tested its reliability and validity.

Survival has increased in the ICU due to technological developments , but physical disability after discharge has become an important problem. İntensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness(ICU-AW) is seen in most of the patients admitted in this unit. The biggest reasons for ICU-AW are; sepsis, multiple organ failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation. The use of measurement tools to evaluate disabilities during stay and after discharge in intensive care unit, is a subject that has been researched all over the world.. These measurement tools provide; monitoring and evaluation during the ICU admission and assessment efficacy of treatment in the unit. The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool(CPAX) has been shown to valid, reliable and to exhibited strong clinimetric properties. CPAx is a numerical measurement tool, rated according to the 6-point Guttman Scale, from complete dependence to independence and consist of ten physical function parameters. This study is aimed at providing an translation and cross-cultural adaptation of Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tool (CPAx) and tested its reliability and validity. The protocol includes a pre-test of the Turkish version on 10 patients, a final revision, and a validation on a sample of 40 İCU patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tools

The Chelsea critical care physical assessment (CPAx) is a measurement tool used to assess physical function in the ICU. The Chelsea critical care physical assessment (CPAx) tool is an outcome measure designed to assess 10 domains of physical ability: respiratory function, cough, bed mobility, supine to sitting on the edge of the bed, dynamic sitting, sit to stand, standing balance, transferring from bed to chair, stepping and grip strength. The validation of the CPAX tools will focus on the validity of constructs, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability.

Time frame: three days

Secondary Outcomes

Physical Function in Intensive Care Test

The PFIT is a test that measures function status of patients with a variety of conditions in the ICU. It includes 5 items: amount of assistance for sit-to-stand transfers, strength for shoulder flexion, strength for knee extension, marching in place, and an upper extremity endurance task of arm elevation to 90 degrees of shoulder flexion. PFIT used for criterion validity.

Time frame: three days
