Message:
Abstract:
Introduction
Measuring Activity of Daily Living is one of the best ways to evaluate conditions of patient, treatment and rehabilitation outcomes, quality of life, and progress of the disease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate psychometric properties of instruments measuring activities of daily living in patients with COPD.
Materials and Methods
In this systematic review study, all papers published during 1980 till 2014 in both Persian and English language related to activities of daily living in patients with COPD were included. SID, Iran Medex, Irandoc, Magiran, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed databases were searched using the keywords: activity of daily living, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, questionnaire and instrument. “Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments" were used to assess and select the studies. Data Extraction Form which was developed by research team consists of 17 questions, was used to collect data.
Findings
In this study 13 self-report instruments for assessing activities of daily living in patients with COPD was found. Study results indicated that, 4 of 13 known instruments measured the activities of daily living, while 9 instruments assess other criteria, like dyspnea and disability as ADL indicator.
Conclusion
The instruments which measure ADL in patients with COPD have under studied the psychometric properties. Lack of explanation of ADL in COPD patients before instruments development as well as presenting a rigorous theoretical framework are other problems associated with these instruments. Therefore, researchers should use these instruments with cautious.
