Zusammenfassung

Es soll ein Fragebogen entwickelt werden, mit welchem der Constant-Score (CS) zur Erfassung der Schulterfunktion ohne erneute Untersuchung des Patienten erhoben werden kann.

Zur Bestimmung der Retestreliabilität wurde innerhalb von 1 Woche von 47 zur Schulteroperation anstehenden Patienten der Bogen 2-mal selbstständig ausgefüllt. Zur Validierung erfolgte eine Erhebung des CS durch den Arzt.

Die mittlere Trennschärfe des modifizierten CS-Patientenbogens zur stationären Aufnahme lag bei r=0,47. Die mittlere Itemschwierigkeit betrug 0,40, die Retestreliabilität 0,675 (p=0,000), die Interne Konsistenz des Patientenbogens 0,80 und die der Arztuntersuchung 0,85. Die Validierung anhand der Konstrukt-, Diskriminations- und Kontentvalidität war erfolgreich, der CS-Bogen korrelierte hochsignifikant mit dem vom Arzt erhobenen Score.

Diese statistischen Analysen zeigen, dass der CS-Bogen ein reliables und valides Instrument zur Erhebung des CS darstellt und somit für Verlaufsstudien eingesetzt werden kann.

Abstract

The aim was to develop a German questionnaire for self-assessment of shoulder function equivalent to the Constant-Score (CS).

To evaluate the retest reliability, the CS questionnaire was completed twice within 1 week by 47 patients prior to shoulder surgery. For validation the CS was assessed by the physician after the second self-test.

The medium selectivity of the CS questionnaire at hospital admission was 0.47, the medium item difficulty 0.40, the test-retest reliability 0.675 (p=0.000), the internal consistency of the questionnaire 0.80, and of the physician’s CS evaluation 0.85. Construct, content, and discriminative validity of the questionnaire could be demonstrated. A high correlation of the patient-based questionnaire with the physician-assessed CS was found (p=0.82).

The statistical analyses demonstrated that the CS questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the CS and can therefore be used for follow-up studies.
