Validation of two short forms of Stroke Impact Scale: unidimensionality and reliability

CONCLUSIONS: The unidimensionality of both versions was supported. The Rasch measures of both appear valid for representing overall HRQOL levels. Both versions also showed acceptable reliability for research purposes.Implications for rehabilitationThe unidimensionality was justified for both versions (Jenkinson's and MacIsaac's eight-item short-versions of Stroke Impact Scale).The Rasch scores of both versions appear valid for representing overall health-related quality of life.Both versions showed acceptable reliability for research purposes, but not sufficiently reliable for clinical use.PMID:36288467 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2135770
