Summary
The Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire Brazil (SSEQ-B) is a valid tool for measuring stroke patient self-efficacy. Its preferred structure is bifactorial, encompassing activity and self-management domains for rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Self-efficacy is crucial for stroke patient rehabilitation outcomes.
- The Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire Brazil (SSEQ-B) measures functional performance self-efficacy post-stroke.
Purpose of the Study:
- To validate the structural integrity of the SSEQ-B.
- To assess the reliability and construct validity of the SSEQ-B in Brazilian stroke survivors.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study involving 115 Brazilian stroke survivors.
- Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were conducted.
- Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's Alpha (αC).
Main Results:
- The SSEQ-B demonstrated good internal consistency (αC = 0.829).
- Exploratory analysis revealed a bifactorial structure (activity and self-management domains).
- Confirmatory analysis suggested a trifactorial structure, but a bifactorial model showed comparable validity.
Conclusions:
- The SSEQ-B is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing stroke self-efficacy.
- A bifactorial structure, comprising activity and self-management, is the preferred model for the SSEQ-B.

01:29Reliability and Validity
13.2K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Spearman's rank correlation test, also known as Spearman's rho, is a nonparametric method for assessing the strength and direction of association between two variables. This test is particularly valuable when the data distribution is unknown or when the assumption of normality does not hold. Named after the English psychologist and statistician Dr. Charles Edward Spearman, it serves as the nonparametric counterpart to Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Measuring blood pressure is a fundamental skill in healthcare that aids in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. An aneroid sphygmomanometer, commonly used in clinical settings, offers a manual and precise method for blood pressure measurement. The technique for using this instrument involves specific steps that must be carefully executed to ensure accuracy. The following detailed description outlines a two-step technique for assessing blood pressure using...
