Brief Summary

The aim was to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the Johns Hopkins In-Room Independence Scale. The investigators believe this scale will address the lack of information regarding fall risk and dependency, particularly for patients scheduled for discharge and their caregivers.

Conditions

Independence; Hemiplegia; Paraplegia; Polyneuropathy; Parkinson Disease; Arthrosis; Amputation; Musculoskeletal Disease

Keywords

independence; in-room independence; musculoskeletal disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Johns Hopkins Hospital In-Room Independence Scale

  The Johns Hopkins Hospital In-Room Independence Scale is a scale that assesses a person's in-room independence, assessing mobility, toileting, and cognition. It consists of 15 items. A person who passes all items receives a score of 15. Failure on any item indicates in-room dependency.

  1 week

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Morse Fall Scale

  1 week

• Hendrich II Fall Risk Scale

  1 week

• Barthel Index

  1 week

Study Arms (1)

Patients receiving treatment in a physical medicine and rehabilitation inpatient clinic

Patients aged 18 and over who are receiving inpatient treatment at the PM\&R inpatient clinic with any diagnosis

Other: In-room independence assessment

Interventions

In-room independence assessment OTHER

The Turkish validity and reliability study of The Johns Hopkins Hospital In-Room Independence Scale(JH-IRIS) will be conducted.The researchers who developed the scale were contacted and a two-stage translation was conducted based on their suggestions.The final Turkish version of the scale was agreed upon after an online meeting with the developing research group.Because the other scales used in the original study lacked Turkish validity, the decision was made to use the Turkish-validated Morse and Henrich-2 Fall Scales and the Barthel Index, with the research team's permission.The study planned to include patients hospitalized for rehabilitation over a four-month period, regardless of their indication.This will allow comparison with previously validated Turkish fall risk and independence scales.One week later, patients will complete the JH-IRIS again and undergo a test-retest.The scale will be evaluated by two different researchers to determine inter-observer reliability.
