- W2755048846 abstract "In clinical practice, assessment is important for the selection of intervention strategies, goal setting, prognosis and the evaluation of the progression made towards the treatment goals. For example, we need to assess the patients9 perceptions on how the disease, functioning and disability interferes with their life situation. Furthermore, we should assess how they can cope with stressful events, what social support they experience and how they adjust to living with a chronic disease. The assessment should provide information on problems, needs and priorities of the patients, as well as on strengths and resources. Based on the initial assessment, mutually agreed treatment goals and treatment strategies can be defined together with the patients. We need to be aware of the differences, strengths and weaknesses of observations (e.g. Barthel Index), measures (walking speed) and self-reported questionnaires (patient-reported outcomes) or individualised, patient specific measures (e.g. the Patient-Specific Functional Scale). In most situations, it is recommended to combine generic and specific measures to cover general as well as specific issues of health, functioning and disability or contextual factors. This will also allow the comparison across groups of patients. Each tool used in the assessment should serve a clear objective and should be able to achieve this objective in the given situation. We need to know the relevant measurement properties on reproducibility and validity for the instrument in a given situation. The agreement or the measurement error will tell us, for example, how small a change can be to be detected (i.e. smallest detectable change). This is important when we want to monitor change (evaluation). Reliability indices will tell us how good we can distinguish groups of patients and whether we can use an instrument in a group setting (i.e. in a study; the ICC should be at least 0.7) or for the use with individuals in clinical practice (ICC should be at least 0.9). We can distinguish three types of validity, content validity, construct validity and criterion validity. The content validity informs on how good a tool covers all relevant aspects of the construct to be measured and whether all items cover relevant aspects. An instrument has a good criterion validity if its results are similar to a so-called gold standard (instrument that is known to be valid). The construct validity tells us whether the scores of the measurement instrument are associated with instruments that measure a similar construct and are not associated with scores from instruments that measure non-related concepts. Other important aspects are responsiveness and interpretability. Responsiveness is the ability of an instrument to detect change over time in the construct to be measured. Interpretability means that the scores are understandable and meaningful. Aspects of interpretability are floor and ceiling effects, and whether the smallest detectable change and the minimal important change are known. Of course, the application of an instrument has to be feasible. Therefore, there is often a trade-off between measurement properties and feasibility, i.e. the perfectly reliable and valid instrument might be too expensive or too time consuming. Therefore, a less “perfect” instrument might be chosen. All the mentioned aspects need to be considered when defining an individual assessment strategy for a patient. The assessment and evaluation should be an integrated part of the treatment process. It verifies that the treatment is in line with the needs and priorities of the patients; the documentation of changes might motivate both patients and health professionals and it might increase adherence to the recommended treatments.
