Abstract

Wheelchair management skills are essential for the functional independence of people using wheelchairs. Teaching them requires professionals to assess the initial condition of the apprentice, allowing them to verify their evolution during the intervention process. Objective: Validate an HMCR evaluation protocol, with criteria within existing concepts and scientific knowledge of psychometry. Method: For construction and validation of the instrument, we used the Delphi Survey method and content validity. The research participants were six specialists in the area of wheelchair activities with a master's or doctor's degree. We used Cronbach's alpha (α), content validity index (CVI), correlation coefficient to measure the internal consistency of the instrument intraclass (ICC) and T test of a sample with a 5% significance level. Results: 17 items we obtained for the criteria of clarity (CVI= 0.865 ± 0.059; α= 0.834; ICC= 0.828; P <0.05), relevance (CVI= 0.902 ± 0.071; α= 0.774; CCI= 0.779; P <0 , 05), simplicity (CVI= 0.918 ± 0.054; α= 0.705; CCI= 0.694; P <0.05), objectivity (CVI= 0.888 ± 0.067; α= 0.856; CCI= 0.850; P <0.05) and accuracy (CVI= 0.922 ± 0.060; α= 0.742; CCI= 0.721; P <0.05). Conclusion: Items in the construction of the assessment instrument demonstrate, by means of psychometry, to be valid and guarantee to measure what it is proposed to measure. Internal consistency of the items ensures that the development of a scale is necessary for the evaluation of people with SCI who use CR, which proposes new studies of application of the test to conclude the validation process.
