Objectives: This study aimed to compared Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) anxiety, depression, and anger item bank among Korean, US and Dutch general population.
Methods: Between December 2021 and January 2022, we surveyed representative Korean participants (N = 2699). Then we compared the mean T-scores of PROMIS anxiety, depression, and anger full items bank among Korean, US (N = 1696) and the Dutch (N = 1002) populations.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the validity of German and Spanish translations of 35 new high-functioning items in the PROMIS Physical Function item bank by comparing responses from diverse samples in Argentina, Germany, and the U.S.
- Data was collected from 3601 participants, with equal distribution among language versions, and differential item functioning (DIF) was analyzed through a comprehensive multiverse analysis.
- Findings indicated that while some items showed consistent DIF across languages, its overall impact was minimal, and physical functioning scores were higher in Argentina compared to the U.S. and Germany, supporting the items' universal applicability across different populations.
The application of unidimensional IRT models requires item response data to be unidimensional. Often, however, item response data contain a dominant dimension, as well as one or more nuisance dimensions caused by content clusters. Applying a unidimensional IRT model to multidimensional data causes violations of local independence, which can vitiate IRT applications.

Methods: Isolated and syndromic craniosynostosis-related consecutive posts (N = 700) made by patients and caregivers were extracted from TikTok and Instagram between 2017-2024. A cross-sectional qualitative analysis following guidelines for practical thematic analysis was performed.

Background: Mindfulness meditation is ubiquitous in health care, education, and communities at large. Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) are the focus of hundreds of NIH-funded trials given the myriad health benefits associated with this practice across multiple populations. Notwithstanding, significant gaps exist in how mindfulness concepts are measured using currently available self-report instruments.
