WatLX is a valid and reliable questionnaire that measures the experience of patients in outpatient rehabilitation services. The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of this questionnaire in Persian-speaking outpatient rehabilitation service costomers.
Materials and methods: In this descriptive methodological study, 115 adults over 18 years of age with a suitable cognitive level, who received at least one program of musculoskeletal, neurological, stroke, speech and language rehabilitation services on an outpatient basis were enrolled in the study . A number of 10 centers and clinics of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy in 5 geographical areas of Tehran (North, South, East, West, and Center) in 1401,were selected for the research by using available sampling method.

Background information was also collected. The face and content validity of the questionnaire were investigated using the Lavashe method after translation into Persian language. The convergent validity of the questionnaire was checked with medrisk questionnaire. In order to check the internal consistency of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha value was calculated.test- retest reliability was measured by re-completing the questionnaire by 39 subjects 15 days after the first test, by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). SPSS 23 software was used for data analysis.
Findings: The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts persons (in the fields of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, rehabilitation management and statistical experts). This questionnaire had good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.802), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC = 0.974) and convergent validity was obtained through Spearman's correlation coefficient with medrisk questionnaire 0.503.
Conclusion: The Farsi version of the WatLX tool has acceptable psychometric properties to evaluate the experience of Persian-speaking Iranian patients in outpatient rehabilitation services, thus can be used in clinical and research studies in the future. |
