Psychometric validation of ICF Rehabilitation Set-17 through item response theory and network analysis: implications for standardized functioning assessment in Chinese inpatient rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) offers a comprehensive biopsychosocial model widely used to capture functioning and disability status. The development of the national assessment standard regarding the ICF-Rehabilitation Set (ICF-RS)-17 represents the first step in implementing value-based healthcare (VBHC) in China. However, studies relating the ICF to managing goal setting and guiding VBHC are scarce.

Aim

This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the ICF-17 and further tailor goal settings in inpatient rehabilitation settings.

Design

A multi-centered, cross-sectional study.

Setting

Three general hospitals and two rehabilitation hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China.
