A Mobility Measure for Inpatient Rehabilitation Using Multigroup, Multidimensional Methods.

Background And Purpose: Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) report patient functional status to Medicare and other payers using Quality Indicators (QI). While the QI is useful for payment purposes, its measurement properties are limited for monitoring patient progress. A mobility measure based on QI items and additional standardized assessments may enhance clinicians' ability to track patient improvement.

Development of a Multidimensional, Multigroup Measure of Self-Care for Inpatient Rehabilitation.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a measure of clinician-observed and patient-performed self-care function for use during inpatient rehabilitation.

Design: Retrospective analysis of self-care assessments collected by therapists using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) followed by multidimensional item response theory (MIRT).

Setting: Freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the Midwestern United States.

The current study examined the extent to which moral identity, moral judgment, and social self-efficacy contribute to prosocial behaviors in adolescence.
