Summary
This review summarizes the validation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in orthopaedic surgery, focusing on non-English translations. It highlights robust validation methods and identifies gaps in translated PROMs for broader adoption.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
- Cross-Cultural Adaptation
Background:
- Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are crucial for evaluating orthopaedic treatments.
- Ensuring PROMs are validated and accessible in multiple languages is essential for global research and clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the validation of PROMs in orthopaedic conditions, with a specific focus on non-English translations.
- To identify completed translations and areas needing further development to support wider PROM adoption in orthopaedic surgery.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of recent literature on PROM translations and cross-cultural adaptations in orthopaedics.
- Analysis of validation methodologies employed in translated PROMs.
- Assessment of the availability of translated PROMs across different languages.
Main Results:
- Recent translations and adaptations of orthopaedic PROMs utilize rigorous validation methods.
- Over 45 studies have contributed to translating PROMs for orthopaedic surgery.
- While many PROMs are available in numerous languages, some have limited translations, and a few align with preferred lists from organizations like the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Conclusions:
- The field demonstrates robust methods for validating translated PROMs in orthopaedic surgery.
- Continued efforts are needed to expand the availability and alignment of translated PROMs with established guidelines.
- Addressing translation gaps will enhance the global applicability and utility of PROMs in orthopaedic care.

01:07Data Collection by Survey
8.6K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
3.6K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

01:27Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:03Data Validation
6.3K
Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
