Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Auf der Basis des international etablierten Rowe-Scores zur Erhebung der Schulterfunktion wurde ein Fragebogen zur Patientenselbsterfassung entwickelt.

Methodik

Eine Erhebung der Messparameter ohne fremde Hilfe wird durch erläuternde Texte und Bilder ermöglicht. 95 Patienten haben den Fragebogen bearbeitet. Die Validität wurde durch eine Korrelationsanalyse zwischen dem neuen Fragebogen und dem Originalscore überprüft.

Ergebnis

Die statistische Analyse zeigt eine reproduzierbare und signifikante (p<0,001) sehr hohe Korrelation (r>0,9) des Fragebogens zu dem Originalscore, sowie eine mittlere bis sehr hohe Korrelation in den einzelnen Parametern (r>0,68).

Schlussfolgerung

Die Ergebnisse beweisen, dass die valide und reproduzierbare Erhebung des Scores durch den neu entwickelten Fragebogen möglich ist. Dies ermöglicht eine untersucher- und ortsunabhängige Verlaufskontrolle und erhöht somit die Fallzahlen der Nachuntersuchungen.

Abstract

Background

A questionnaire for patient self-assessment of shoulder function was designed. It was based on the internationally accepted Rowe score.

Method

Explanations and photographs were added to the various parameters to make them easier to understand for the patients. A total of 95 patients completed the assessment form. The validity was tested by a correlation analysis comparing the questionnaire with the original score.

Results

The questionnaire demonstrated a reproducible and significant (p<0.001), very high correlation (r>0.9) in the overall results and a moderate to very high correlation within single parameters (r>0.68).

Conclusion

Based on these results, it can be concluded that a valid and reproducible assessment of the original score is possible with the new questionnaire. Self-evaluation allows reliable assessment which is not dependent on the examiners or location, resulting in a higher number of patients reachable for follow-up studies.
