TL;DR
This study tested the reliability of short forms of a burn recovery evaluation tool for preschool children and found them to be effective.
Contribution
The study provides empirical validation of the reliability of short forms of the PS-LIBRE1-5 for preschool children with burn injuries.
Findings
Cronbach alphas for the domains ranged from 0.88 to 0.91, indicating strong internal consistency.
Test-retest correlations were 0.73 to 0.91, showing acceptable reliability across domains.
The short forms are reliable for use in clinical settings without CAT technology.
Abstract
The Preschool Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (PS- LIBRE1-5) is a well-established psychometrically sound Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Short forms (SF) were developed for dissemination in environments where platforms for administering CATs are not available. The aim of the present study is to assess the reliability the PS-LIBRE1-5 SFs within the target population of preschool children, 1 to 5 years, living with burn injuries. There are eight PS-LIBRE1-5 domains; Physical Functioning, Communication and Language, Emotional Well-Being, Mood, Anxiety, Peer Relations, Peer Acceptance and Play. Three of the domains: Emotional Well-Being, Communication and Language, and Physical Functioning were suitable for the creation of short forms given their lengthy item pools. Data was obtained from parents/guardians of children 1 to 5 years of age, inclusively, with burn injuries. Parents were…
