          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo principal: Presentar los resultados psicométricos del estudio de validación de la Escala de Convivencia con un proceso crónico en pacientes con Hipertensión arterial (EC-HTA) en Colombia. Metodología: Estudio observacional, transversal con retest en una fracción de la muestra. Se analizaron los aspectos psicométricos de viabilidad/aceptabilidad, fiabilidad, precisión y validez de constructo. Resultados principales: Se incluyeron un total de 341 pacientes de los cuales el 68% eran mujeres con una edad media de 65 años. El 100% de los datos fueron computables. La EC-HTA presentó un valor alfa de Cronbach de 0,76. Respecto a la validez interna, para el total de la escala fue de 0,90. Conclusión principal: La EC-HTA es una escala válida y fiable para evaluar el grado de convivencia en pacientes con HTA en Colombia, siendo un instrumento clínico de gran utilidad para favorecer un cuidado centrado en la persona y no en la enfermedad.

          Abstract Objective: To present the psychometric results of the validation study of the Living with Chronic illness scale in patients with hypertension (LW-hypertension) in Colombia. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study with retest. There psychometric properties of feasibility/acceptability, reliability, precision, and construct validity were analyzed. Results: A total sample of 341 patients was included, where the 68% were female with an average age of 65 years old. The 100% of the data were computable. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.76. Regarding internal validity for the total scale was 0.90. Conclusions: The LW-hypertension scale is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate the living with hypertension degree in Colombia, becoming a clinical and easy instrument to facilitate a person centered care and not centered just on the disease.

            Interpretation of changes in health-related quality of life: the remarkable universality of half a standard deviation.

            A number of studies have computed the minimally important difference (MID) for health-related quality of life instruments. To determine whether there is consistency in the magnitude of MID estimates from different instruments. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify studies that computed an MID and contained sufficient information to compute an effect size (ES). Thirty-eight studies fulfilled the criteria, resulting in 62 ESs. For all but 6 studies, the MID estimates were close to one half a SD (mean = 0.495, SD = 0.155). There was no consistent relationship with factors such as disease-specific or generic instrument or the number of response options. Negative changes were not associated with larger ESs. Population-based estimation procedures and brief follow-up were associated with smaller ESs, and acute conditions with larger ESs. An explanation for this consistency is that research in psychology has shown that the limit of people's ability to discriminate over a wide range of tasks is approximately 1 part in 7, which is very close to half a SD. In most circumstances, the threshold of discrimination for changes in health-related quality of life for chronic diseases appears to be approximately half a SD.

              Individual-patient monitoring in clinical practice: are available health status surveys adequate?

              Interest has increased in recent years in incorporating health status measures into clinical practice for use at the individual-patient level. We propose six measurement standards for individual-patient applications: (1) practical features, (2) breadth of health measured, (3) depth of health measured, (4) precision for cross-sectional assessment, (5) precision for longitudinal monitoring and (6) validity. We evaluate five health status surveys (Functional Status Questionnaire, Dartmouth COOP Poster Charts, Nottingham Health Profile, Duke Health Profile, and SF-36 Health Survey) that have been proposed for use in clinical practice. We conducted an analytical literature review to evaluate the six measurement standards for individual-patient applications across the five surveys. The most problematic feature of the five surveys was their lack of precision for individual-patient applications. Across all scales, reliability standards for individual assessment and monitoring were not satisfied, and the 95% CIs were very wide. There was little evidence of the validity of the five surveys for screening, diagnosing, or monitoring individual patients. The health status surveys examined in this paper may not be suitable for monitoring the health and treatment status of individual patients. Clinical usefulness of existing measures might be demonstrated as clinical experience is broadened. At this time, however, it seems that new instruments, or adaptation of existing measures and scaling methods, are needed for individual-patient assessment and monitoring.
