    　View Summary

    RATIONALE: To date, family satisfaction with emergency medical technicians (EMTs) has only been reported through narrative statements in subjective evaluations. Although a quantitative assessment of healthcare professional satisfaction is desirable, no specific measures have been devised to assess family satisfaction with the healthcare and care provided by EMTs. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop and validate an EMT care family satisfaction scale to measure patient satisfaction with prehospital emergency care. METHODS: The study population comprised 216 family members (N = 216) of patients who used ambulances between November 2020 and May 2021 in a single region in Japan. Questionnaires were distributed to the participants who provided informed consent. An exploratory factor analysis of construct validity was performed to validate the Family Satisfaction Scale. The Cronbach's alpha was used to validate the internal consistency reliability of the scale. RESULTS: The exploratory factor analysis results revealed a four-factor structure: 'explanation and communication,' 'physical treatment,' 'psychological support,' and 'environment in the ambulance.' The Cronbach's range (0.80-0.93) for the total score for each of these four factors and the overall total score confirmed favorable internal reliability of this study. CONCLUSIONS: The family satisfaction scale developed in this study was constructed and validated to highlight the role of EMTs and needs of the families in the prehospital care settings. Moreover, this scale can be applied in the evaluation and consideration of interventions to improve family satisfaction with EMTs.

    　View Summary

    PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop the Japanese version of the ABILHAND-Kids and to examine its psychometric properties for Japanese children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: The experimental version of 75 items was developed using forward-backward translation method. Parents of 137 children with CP answered it. Their responses were analyzed to successive items, and psychometric properties of the final version were investigated through the Rasch measurement model. RESULTS: The Japanese version of the ABILHAND-Kids contained 22 items. It showed valid item-patient targeting, no significant floor and ceiling effects, and no differential item functioning for demographic and clinical subgroups. All items contributed to the definition of one-dimensional measure. For internal consistency, the person separation index was 0.94. For test-retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.96 (95% CI: 0.92-0.98). The minimal detectable difference was calculated with a logit score of 0.79 and a total raw score of 4.50. The logit score showed a strong correlation with the Manual Ability Classification System level (ρ= -0.70) and the Gross Motor Function Classification System level (ρ= -0.62). CONCLUSIONS: The Japanese version of the ABILHAND-Kids was found to be valid and reliable. It appears to be a good tool for assessing manual abilities in daily activities in children with CP.

    　View Summary

    Sarcopenia is the core factor of frailty. This study specifically focused on lower limb muscle strength and examined muscle indices that indicate the risk of frailty or pre-frailty in older adults. The study included 327 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years (43.7% male) who participated in the cohort. Frailty was defined based on five symptoms: weight loss, low activity level, exhaustion, weakness and slowness. Participants were classified into frail (three or more applicable), pre-frail (one to two applicable) and non-frail groups. Muscle strength (knee extension strength, toe grip strength and hand grip strength) were assessed, and appendicular muscle mass was assessed via a bioelectrical impedance analysis. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) of muscle indices for with frailty (frail group vs. pre-frail group) or pre-frailty (pre-frail group vs. non-frail group) were calculated. The prevalence of frail and pre-frail was 7% and 40%, respectively. Adjusted for age, sex, albumin and medical history, knee extension strength was significantly associated with frailty (odds ratio 0.95, 95% CI 0.92-0.98), while hand grip strength was associated with pre-frailty (odds ratio 0.92, 95% CI 0.88-0.97) but not with other muscle indices. This study is significant for identifying knee extension strength as a factor relevant to frailty in older adults considered pre-frailty, emphasizing the importance of this specific muscle measure in predicting and managing frailty.

    　View Summary

    BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often experience visual dysfunction that affects motor function and activities of daily living, but no 'gold standard' classification of visual function has been established. In recent years, however, a valid and reliable Visual Function Classification System (VFCS) for children with CP has been developed. AIMS: To examine the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the VFCS in individuals with CP. METHODS: The translation of the VFCS was performed according to international standards for the translation of measurements. We conducted questionnaires of professionals (three physicians, eight physical therapists, five occupational therapists, six speech-language-hearing therapists and a certified orthoptist) regarding the content validity of the Japanese version of the VFCS. For reliability and concurrent validity, 148 individuals with CP were classified twice by professionals using the Japanese version of the VFCS, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) and Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS), with several weeks between each evaluation. RESULTS: The content validity of the Japanese version of the VFCS almost met the criteria set. The percentage of positive and neutral opinions given by the professionals with regard to the four items ranged from 74% to 92%. The intra-rater reliability was 0.86 (95% CI 0.75-0.96) by Cohen's kappa and 0.93 (95% CI 0.88-0.96) by intraclass correlation coefficient. The inter-rater reliability was 0.67 (95% CI 0.56-0.78) by Cohen's kappa and 0.79 (95% CI 0.69-0.86) by intraclass correlation coefficient. The Spearman correlation coefficients between the VFCS and the GMFCS, MACS, CFCS and EDACS were 0.783, 0.764, 0.738, 0.738 and 0.830, respectively. The concurrent validity was confirmed by the correlations observed with other classification systems. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated good reliability and validity for the Japanese version of the VFCS.

    　View Summary

    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the gap between the knowledge and practice of shared decision making（SDM）and differences in goal setting according to patient’s age range and years of therapist’s experience. Methods: A total of 115 therapists working with pediatric patients were surveyed via a web-based questionnaire to determine the burden of goal setting as well as the status and content of SDM practice related to goal setting. The results were compared in two groups according to years of the therapist’s experience, and the contents of free descriptions were subjected to qualitative descriptive analysis. Results: Over two-thirds of the subjects felt burdened by goal setting. There was no difference in the status of SDM practice between the two groups, while there were differences in the content of goal setting based on the age of the target patients. Additionally, there was a discrepancy between the state of SDM practice and the outcome of the qualitative descriptive analysis. Conclusions: Therapists in the pediatric field face a gap in their knowledge and practice of SDM, suggesting differences in the content of goal setting depending on the years of experience.

    　View Summary

    日本の小児理学療法の研究は、臨床家と研究者の協働による継続した研究活動が少なく、臨床と研究の結びつきが弱い。そのため日本の小児理学療法における学術的な基盤や指針が存在しない。一方で日本には療育という独自の文化があり、臨床では効果をあげている。これを科学的に定義づけることで、臨床と研究が結びついた日本発の小児理学療法研究の発展へとつながるのではないかと考えた。そこで本研究では、臨床家から臨床上の疑問を集め、それを研究疑問へと構造化する。その疑問の解決のために臨床家とともにシステマティックレビューをおこない、成果はオープンアクセス誌で公表する。同時に新たな研究課題を明確にして公開することで、さらなる研究活動の発展へとつなげる。臨床と研究がつながった小児理学療法研究推進のための基盤をつくることが本研究の目的である。 今年度は、臨床家から募集した臨床上の疑問のうち、4つを研究疑問へと構造化した。そのうち1編は学会発表を終え論文化しており現在投稿準備中である。うち1編はデータベース検索を終え現在1次スクリーニング中、うち1編はPROSPEROへ登録作業中、1編は研究計画書を作成している。

    本研究は、我々が継続している地域一般住民コホートにおける高齢者を対象に、高血圧、糖尿病、循環器疾患への罹患とフレイル・サルコペニアの進展の両者に共通する危険因子を明らかにすることを目的としている。令和2年度は平成29年度の受診者で65歳以上の342名を対象とした横断的検討を行い、男女とも下肢筋量体重比(%)とインスリン抵抗性の指標であるHOMA-IRとの間に有意な関連を認めることを確認した。 今年度は縦断的な検討を行うこととし、平成29年度の健診にて65歳以上でフレイル・サルコペニア関連の検査を受けた者のうち初年度の時点で糖尿病の者を除外し、平成30年、令和元年の健診を3年連続受診した206名を対象として、初年度の下肢筋量体重比(%)の男女別中央値で高群、低群の2群に分け、その後のHOMA-IRの変動について、繰り返し測定二元配置分散分析を行ったところ、年齢とともにHOMA-IRは有意に上昇し、下肢筋量体重比(%)が低い群では高い群と比較してHOMA-IRが高く推移することが示された。また、年次と下肢筋量体重比との間には有意な交互作用は認めなかった。また、平成29年受診者中、糖尿病を除外して、令和元年の健診も受診した241名を対象とし、令和元年度の時点でHOMA-IR≧1.73のインスリン抵抗性進展の有無を従属変数とした多重ロジスティック回帰分析を行うと、年齢、性別、腹部肥満の有無で調整後の下肢筋量体重比低下のオッズ比は2.67（95%CI：1.44-4.95）であり、さらに初年度のHOMA-IRで調整してもオッズ比2.17（95%CI：1.07-11.75）であった。以上の結果より、縦断的な検討において、初年度の下肢筋量体重比の低下は、将来のインスリン抵抗性進展の強いリスク因子である可能性が示唆された。

    　View Summary

    The decline of mobility in persons with cerebral palsy is a limitation to social participation and a risk for disease. Therefore, prevention of mobility decline is an urgent issue in rehabilitation. In this study, we investigated the mobility of persons with cerebral palsy using clinically applicable measurement scales. The Japanese versions of various functional classification systems and gait-related measurement scales related to the mobility abilities of persons with cerebral palsy were developed, and examined their reliability and validity in persons with cerebral palsy in Japan. Furthermore, we showed that it is necessary to combine multiple measurement scales to accurately assess the mobility abilities of persons with cerebral palsy.
