Tsai MJ. Development of ICF core set to profile communicative competence in dyadic communication among adults who use communication devices in Taiwan. Disabil Rehabil Assist Technol 2024; 19:658-670. [PMID: 36036396 DOI: 10.1080/17483107.2022.2115564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop an ICF core set to profile communicative competence in dyadic communication among adults who use communication devices in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted following the release of a manual by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on how to develop the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core set in three phases: Preparatory Phase, Phase I, and Phase II. The Preparatory Phase helped collect and sort second-level ICF codes into a candidate list based on different perspectives, including the Systematic Literature Review Phase (i.e., researchers' perspectives), Empirical Multi-Center Study Phase (i.e., clinical perspectives), Qualitative Study Phase (i.e., perspectives of individuals with a health condition), and Expert Survey Phase (i.e., health professionals' perspectives). An ICF core set was developed from the candidate list in Phase I through the Delphi technique, and the content validity of this core set was assessed in Phase II. RESULTS Altogether, 94 s-level ICF codes in the candidate list from the Preparatory Phase were included in the three rounds of the Delphi technique for Phase I. Finally, these 94 s-level ICF codes were validated and included in the core set for Phase II, including 28 in Body Functions (b), 0 in Body Structures (s), 42 in Activities and Participation (d), and 24 in Environmental Factors (e). CONCLUSIONS The developed ICF core set provides an evaluation tool to profile communicative competence in dyadic communication among adults using communication devices. This core set identifies the gap and future opportunities for further examining the care providers' roles, together with exploring the environmental facilitators and barriers. The implications concerning rehabilitation, limitations, and the way forward are discussed.Implications to RehabilitationThis core set was first developed in the context of Taiwan from the perspectives of adults and professionals who used communication devices to profile communicative competence in dyadic communication.This core set, which can be utilised across health care disciplines, can serve as the foundation for more holistic evaluation, profiling levels of communicative competence in daily dyadic communication among adults who use communication devices.Rehabilitation providers may decide, based on this core set, if communication devices should be proposed for adults again in order to minimise the abandonment of subsidised communication devices.Levels of communicative competence in daily dyadic communication among adults who use communication devices can be profiled through this ICF core set.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this systematic review is to verify the development of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Child and Youth (ICF-CY), investigating methodology and how many core sets have been created. METHODS Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to carry out the systematic review. Six bibliographic databases were searched: MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Sciences, CINHAL, PEDro, and OT Seeker. Papers included in the study have the following characteristics: (a) pediatric population with different health conditions, (b) assessment of ICF domains, (c) development of ICF-CY core set in different health conditions, and (d) recommendation for clinical uses. RESULTS Search strategies allowed to identify 270 research papers. After the elimination of duplicates, 154 articles were analyzed. Finally, 28 records were included for qualitative synthesis. Twelve different ICF-CY Core Sets were identified. Autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and cerebral palsy were the main health conditions studied at international level. Most of the studies involved international experts using Cieza' methodology to inform ICF-CY Core Set. CONCLUSIONS After 15 years since the adoption of ICF-CY, it still finds some barriers to use. Concrete actions should be taken to develop further core sets following a rigorous methodology and to contribute implementing the ICF framework.Implication for rehabilitationIn 15 years since the implementation of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Child and Youth (ICF-CY), only 12 core sets have been developed.To develop ICF-CY Core Set, health professionals should follow methodology described by Cieza et al.Strong collaboration between low- and middle-income countries and high-income countries are recommended.

Abstract
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are faced with long-term dysfunction. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) has been proposed but the complicated procedure limits the feasibility of clinical application and the exploration of health degrees. This study was aimed to establish a Mokken scale based on the ICF-CY for CP, and then to estimate psychometric properties through the derived Rasch model. 150 children with CP were assessed by the categories of "b" and "d" components in the core set. The binarized data was screened by the Mokken scale analysis and utilized for generating a reliable Rasch model. The validity of the final model was checked by the correlation between person ability, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and total scores. Using the Mokken scale to guide Rasch modeling, we can parameterize the properties of ICF-CY and realize the simple assessment of person abilities for children with CP.

Using the ICF Framework to Assess Communicative Competence in Dyadic Communication among Children and Adolescents Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication Devices in Taiwan. Behav Sci (Basel) 2022; 12:bs12110467. [DOI: 10.3390/bs12110467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices enable children and adolescents (CAD) with communication disorders to communicate competently and develop friendships through communicative competence (CC). Existing assessment tools are unable to indicate whether CAD aged 0 to 18 years would competently use the subsidized AAC devices provided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan. This study, thus, aimed to develop an assessment tool by using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to measure CC in dyadic communication among CAD using AAC devices. Five speech-language pathologists (SLPs), five special education teachers, and four AAC experts (14 in total) selected codes relevant to the four domains of CC via the Delphi method. Next, they categorized the selected codes into one of the four domains of CC through a face-to-face expert panel. A total of 112 codes were listed in the tool and fully classified into the four domains of CC. Among these, seven codes were concurrently placed under two domains of CC. Consequently, this study developed an assessment tool by employing the ICF for children and youth core set using universal qualifiers to measure the relative levels of CC in dyadic communication among CAD who use AAC devices in their daily life.

Abstract
LAY ABSTRACT Young children who have developmental delay, autism, or other neurodevelopmental conditions can have difficulties doing things in different areas of their life. What they can and cannot do is called their level of functioning. There are lots of assessment measures that aim to assess functioning. But, we are not sure if these measures assess all the things we need to know about these children's functioning. Other research has identified lists of items (codes) that need to be assessed to understand functioning for young children with different neurodevelopmental conditions fully. These lists include body functions (the things a child's body or brain can do), activities and participation (the activities and tasks a child does) and environmental factors (parts of the environment that can influence functioning). In this study, we looked at the items from these lists assessed by different functioning measures to see how they compared to what should be assessed. The measures that we looked at covered 21%-57% of all the codes and 19%-63% of the codes for lists specific to different conditions. Most of the measures focused on activity and participation codes, and they rarely assessed environmental factors. Knowing which codes and how much of the lists the measures assess can help researchers, clinicians and policymakers to choose measures that are more appropriate for young children with neurodevelopmental conditions.

Abstract
It is widely recognised that cross-sector partnerships are key to improve outcomes for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, evidence-based strategies fostering these partnerships have not been systematically identified, and terms designating different forms of collaboration are used interchangeably. This study aims to contribute to systematically identify practices for cross-sector collaboration for children with SEND, critically positioning these within collaborative traditions (multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity). A scoping review of the international literature of the past 10 years was conducted, following Arksey and O'Malley's methodology and considering type of SEND studied, country of origin, approach to collaboration portrayed and study design. Only papers describing empirical applications of collaborative strategies were included in the final review (n = 8). Practices identified ranged from multidisciplinary to transdisciplinary and included: partnerships between higher education and healthcare organisations, implementation of school clinics, schools as interdisciplinary hubs, management's own partnerships and networks, assessment in person with the whole team, videoconferencing, periodic meetings with key professionals, informal on-site discussions and transdisciplinary play-based assessment. Implications for practice are considered, in particular the need to examine how these strategies are implemented in a variety of settings and the need to develop the skills that elicit transdisciplinary work.

Abstract
AIMS Participation is a key health outcome; however little is known specifically about how to measure participation of infants and toddlers. The aim of this review was to identify and examine the psychometric properties of participation measures for infants and toddlers aged birth to 23 months according to family of Participation-Related Constructs (fPRC). METHODS Four electronic databases were searched to identify (i) measures available in English, (ii) that quantify at least one participation concept of 'attendance' and/or 'involvement' according to the fPRC, (iii) with psychometric data for infants or toddlers aged from birth to 23 months published in a full text, peer reviewed journal. Psychometric quality was examined using the COSMIN checklist. RESULTS Four measures met the inclusion criteria: Child Engagement in Daily Life (CEDL) measure, Daily Activities of Infants Scale (DAIS), Test of Playfulness (ToP), and Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure (YC-PEM). All measured 'attendance' and three also measured 'involvement'. Measures showed unknown to moderate validity and unknown to moderate reliability, with the CEDL reporting the strongest psychometric properties. CONCLUSION There are few measures that evaluate infant and toddler participation. Further research is needed to develop psychometrically sound participation measures that evaluate 'attendance' and 'involvement' for this population.

Abstract
RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar instrumentos de avaliação do desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor (DNPM) de crianças de 0 a 2 anos, de baixo custo, que possam ser usados no contexto de creche e/ou ambiente clínico em programas de intervenção precoce, sistematizando esses instrumentos conforme o modelo biopsicossocial da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF). Foram selecionados instrumentos de avaliação do DNPM com tradução ou adaptação para o Brasil. Para isso os domínios da CIF foram escolhidos triangulando o checklist da própria CIF-CJ, core set de estimulação precoce e a última versão da CIF, para busca na literatura de instrumentos de avaliação. A sistematização das categorias selecionadas da CIF foi realizada por dois fisioterapeutas, e um terceiro para itens discordantes. As escalas que responderam aos critérios foram: Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), Teste de Triagem de Denver II, Inventário Pediátrico sobre Qualidade de Vida (PedSQl®), Affordance in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) e vínculo mãe-bebê. Mesmo com essas escalas, verificou-se a necessidade de um questionário de anamnese complementar para o responsável, dados da Caderneta de Saúde da Criança e de um questionário socioeconômico da Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa para o Brasil (ABEP). Essa sistematização está disponível no apêndice, e procura facilitar o olhar ampliado do fisioterapeuta ou profissional da educação com abrangência biopsicossocial dos bebês, além de possibilitar a identificação de riscos de forma precoce e subsidiar ações de promoção e intervenção em diferentes contextos.

Abstract
Purpose: To validate the activities and participation (d) codes of two age-specific brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) core sets for school-aged children with cerebral palsy (CP), using national dataset of the child version of the Functioning Scale of the Disability Evaluation System (FUNDES) in Taiwan.Methods: Students with CP aged 6-17.9 years (n = 546) in the national dataset were analyzed. Items of the child version of the FUNDES were linked to the ICF d-codes and matched to two brief ICF core sets for CP. The restriction rate of the linked d-codes were calculated. Random Forest regression was applied to select the important linked d-codes for predicting school participation frequency.Results: The vast majority of the content of the Taiwanese dataset was covered by two core sets. The matched d-codes represent high restriction rates (80%) and most were important for predicting school participation. One important code, d740 (formal relationships, such as relationship with teachers), identified in this study were not included in two ICF core sets.Conclusions: Two brief ICF core sets for CP capture the majority of relevant functional information collected by the child version of the FUNDES. Some additional codes not covered in the international ICF core sets should be considered for inclusion in the revised Taiwanese version.Implications for rehabilitationCerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of severe physical disability in childhood. ICF core sets for CP promote a comprehensive assessment and service provision.To ensure applicability, ICF core sets for CP were validated in Taiwan using the child and youth national dataset of the child version of the Functioning Scale of the Disability Evaluation System. This study shows content validity and proposes new ICF codes additions for the Taiwanese version.Among top five ICF-based predictors for school participation frequency, four of them were consistent in both children and youth groups as d310-d350 (basic communication), d750 (informal social relationships), d820 (school education), and d710-d720, d880 and d920 (social play), which could be taken into consideration in clinical application.

Abstract
Purpose of the article: To review the use of outcome measures, across the domains of activity, participation, and environment, within multidisciplinary early childhood intervention services. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was undertaken that included four electronic databases: Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library and Cochrane Database of Systematic Review. Inclusion criteria were age 0-24 months, having or at risk of a developmental disability, in receipt of multidisciplinary early childhood intervention services, and included outcome measures across all domains of the International Classification of Functioning-Child & Youth (ICF-CY). Only peer-reviewed journal articles were considered. Eligible studies were coded using the Oxford Levels of Evidence. Methodological quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) Scale for randomised controlled trials and the QualSyst for non-randomised control trials. RESULTS Of the total of 5764 records identified, 10 were considered to meet inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION Fourteen outcome measures were identified, addressing the domains of activity, participation, and environment. Of these, eight have been recommended in the early intervention literature. While the methodological quality of the 10 studies varied, these papers make a contribution to the body of research that acknowledges the role of routine and enriched environments. Implications for Rehabilitation Core practice elements of multidisciplinary early childhood intervention services indicate it is necessary to select outcome measures framed within the International Classification of Functioning-Child & Youth to inform clinical decision-making for measuring intervention effectiveness across the domains of activity, participation and environment. Of the identified measures, three (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, and Goal Attainment Scaling) are well-established and identified in the literature as multidisciplinary outcome measures for children with developmental disability. The selection of an appropriate outcome measure depends on the age of the child, individual goals of the family, and the type of intervention. This requires the combination of measures as no one measure alone will capture all components of the International Classification of Functioning-Child & Youth.

Abstract
Objective: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) provides a universal taxonomy to describe functioning. One of the most relevant applications of the ICF has been the development of code-sets for particular contexts/situations, such specific age groups. An important step in research around child assessment and intervention is to identify extant measures that can assess the essential functioning features for each age range. This study aims to map the Early Development Instrument (EDI) with the ICF-CY and to identify the functioning dimensions regarded by experts as essential in the age range 3-5 that are covered by this instrument. Method: A systematic deductive content analysis procedure was used in the mapping process. Results: Most of EDI items were mapped to Activities and Participation and the majority of Activities and Participation regarded as essential from 3 to 5 years are assessed by the EDI; only some essential Environmental Factors and Body Functions are covered. Conclusion: The mapping process between the EDI and the ICF has shown that the EDI should be complemented with other measures with a focus on Body Functions and Environmental Factors, in order to facilitate a holistic description of the child.

Abstract
AIM Evaluation of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health child and youth version (ICF-CY) activities and participation d code functions in clinical practice with children across diagnoses, disabilities, ages, and genders. METHODS A set of 57 codes were selected and worded to describe children's support needs in everyday life. Parents of children aged 1 to 15 years participated in interviews to discuss and rate their child's disability. RESULTS Of 367 invited parents, 332 (90.5%) participated. The mean age of their children with disability was 9.4 years. The mean code scores were 50.67, the corrected code-total correlations were .76, intercode correlations had the mean of 0.61, and Cronbach's α was .98. As a result of Rasch analysis, graphical data for disability measures paralleled clinical expectations across the total population of 332 children. CONCLUSION The World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health child and youth version d code data can provide a coherent measure of severity of disability in children across various diagnoses, ages, and genders.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of children aged 0-6 years with developmental delay (DD) and to examine age-period trends in the prevalence of DD diagnosis in Taiwan. For the study population, we selected children aged <6 years at baseline (in 1997-2002, N=2,308,790) from the National Health Insurance Research Database (a longitudinal database with annual medical records of children in Taiwan) to estimate the prevalence of DD. All study subjects were followed up until they were 5 years old; the study period was from 1997 to 2008. The prevalence of DD by year gradually increased from 0.16% to 3.25% from 1997 to 2008 with an increasing ratio of prevalence of 20% over the 12-year study period. The prevalence of DD in boys was 2.13 times (2.09-2.18 from 1997 to 2008) that in girls. The prevalence of DD increased by year of study. The effect of sex on the prevalence of DD was significant. Understanding the trend of prevalence in the study period and the gap between the rate of early treatment and DD prevalence are critical concerns for future research.
