Summary

This study is aimed at providing an translation and cross-cultural adaptation of Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tool (CPAx) and tested its reliability and validity.

Detailed description

Survival has increased in the ICU due to technological developments , but physical disability after discharge has become an important problem. İntensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness(ICU-AW) is seen in most of the patients admitted in this unit. The biggest reasons for ICU-AW are; sepsis, multiple organ failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation. The use of measurement tools to evaluate disabilities during stay and after discharge in intensive care unit, is a subject that has been researched all over the world.. These measurement tools provide; monitoring and evaluation during the ICU admission and assessment efficacy of treatment in the unit. The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool(CPAX) has been shown to valid, reliable and to exhibited strong clinimetric properties. CPAx is a numerical measurement tool, rated according to the 6-point Guttman Scale, from complete dependence to independence and consist of ten physical function parameters. This study is aimed at providing an translation and cross-cultural adaptation of Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tool (CPAx) and tested its reliability and validity. The protocol includes a pre-test of the Turkish version on 10 patients, a final revision, and a validation on a sample of 40 İCU patients.
