Determination of the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of the BETY- Biopsychosocial Questionnaire in patients with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

Purpose: This study was planned to determine the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the BETY- Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Methods: 150 patients with a mean age of 50.6±9.3 were included in the study. The Health Assessment Questionnaire, Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Scale, Short Form-36 and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used for validity of the BETY-BQ. The test-retest method and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) were used for reliability. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was also used for internal consistency. For the responsiveness of the scale, the correlation of the differences of the BETY-BQ with all scales was checked after for 3 months BETY exercise group.
Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient of BETY-BQ with other scales was found between (r) [-0.361; 0.814], p <0.001. The correlation between the responses of 30 patients to the BETY-BQ for 1 week (r= 0.834; p<0.001), ICC coefficient (0.833, p<0.001) and The Cronbach alpha coefficient (0.937) were significantly high. The responsiveness to change of the BETY-BQ was especially highly correlated with Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Scale (r= 0.619; p <0.001).
Conclusion: It was concluded that the patients involved in the BETY group being routinely made for 3 months were susceptible to change. As a result of our study, it was concluded that the BETY-BQ is a valid, reliable, and responsive assessment tool for RA patients.

BETY - Biyopsikososyal Ölçeği’nin romatoit artrit tanısı alan bireylerde geçerliği, güvenirliği ve duyarlılığının belirlenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma romatoid artrit (RA) tanılı bireylerde Bilişsel Egzersiz Terapi Yaklaşımı ölçeğinin (BETY-BQ) geçerlik, güvenirlik ve duyarlılığının belirlenmesi amacıyla planlandı.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 50,6±9,3 yıl olan 150 birey dahil edildi. BETY-BQ geçerliği için, Sağlık Değerlendirme Anketi, Romatoid Artrit Yaşam Kalite Ölçeği, Kısa Form-36 ve Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Skalası ölçekleri kullanıldı. Güvenirlik için test-tekrar test yöntemi ile Sınıf İçi Güvenirlik (ICC) katsayısına ayrıca iç tutarlılık için Cronbach alfa katsayısına bakıldı. Ölçeğin duyarlılığı için 3 ay sonra tüm ölçeklerle BETY-BQ’nun zamana bağlı değişimlerinin korelasyonuna bakıldı.
Bulgular: BETY-BQ’nun diğer ölçeklerle arasındaki korelasyon katsayısı (r) [-0,361; 0,814] arasında, p<0,001 bulundu. 1 hafta arayla 30 bireyin BETY-BQ’ya verdiği yanıtların Pearson korelasyon katsayısı (r= 0,834; p<0,001), ICC katsayısı (0,833, p<0,001) ve ölçeğin iç tutarlılığının oldukça yüksek olduğu (Cronbach alfa=0,937) bulundu. Ölçeğin değişime duyarlılığında özellikle Romatoid Artrit Yaşam Kalite ölçeği ile yüksek ilişkili (r= 0,619; p <0,001) bulundu. 3 ay boyunca rutin yapılmakta olan BETY grubuna dahil olan bireylerde değişime duyarlı olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonucunda BETY-BQ’nun RA’lı bireylerde geçerli, güvenilir ve duyarlı bir değerlendirme aracı olduğu görüşüne varıldı.
