The XXXX impact scale: performance as a quality of life measure in a community-based @entity64 rehabilitation setting.

@entity1 @entity64
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the @entity64 Impact Scale (SIS). METHODS: Data was derived from a study assessing a community-based @entity64 rehabilitation program. @entity1 were administered the SIS and Euroqol-5D (EQ-5D-5L) on admission to the study, and at six month and 12 month follow-up. The psychometric performance of each domain of the SIS was assessed at each time point. RESULTS: A total of 164 @entity1 completed outcome measures at baseline, 108 @entity1 at six months and 37 @entity1 at 12 months. Correlation of the SIS domains with the EQ-5D-5L suggested that the dimensions of health contributing to a @entity1 's perception of health-related quality of life changes over time. CONCLUSION: The SIS performed well in a sample of @entity1 undergoing @entity64 rehabilitation in the community. Our findings suggest that the multidimensionality of the SIS may allow health professionals to track @entity1 progress and tailor rehabilitation interventions to target the dimensions of health that are most important to a @entity1 's overall health and perceived quality of life over time. Implications for Rehabilitation There is an increased need for valid and reliable measures to evaluate the outcomes of @entity1 recovering from @entity64 in the community. The @entity64 Impact Scale (SIS) measures multiple domains of health and is well-suited for use in @entity1 recovering from @entity64 in the community. There is a high level of internal consistency in the eight SIS domains with no evidence of floor effects; ceiling effects were noted for several domains. Correlation of the SIS with the Euroqol-5D suggested that the dimensions of health contributing to a @entity1 's perception of health related quality of life changes over time.
