Abstract
BACKGROUND: SATIS-Stroke questionnaire has been translated and adapted for use in the Brazilian population, however, it is necessary to test the measurement properties in Brazilian population. OBJECTIVE: To test the reliability, agreement, concurrent validity, and diagnostic accuracy of the SATIS-Stroke. METHODS: Chronic stroke survivors were included. The calculations were made using scores in logits (Rasch Model). Reliability was tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC), and Bland-Altman plots. Concurrent validity was analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient. For such, the correlation between SATIS-Stroke and Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) questionnaires was determined. Diagnostic accuracy was estimated based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with a 95% confidence interval and considering the sensitivity and specificity of SATIS-Stroke in differentiating different types of activity and participation. RESULTS: Eighty stroke survivors were analyzed. Mean age was 57.98±13.85 years and 45.2% had severe impairment. Excellent reliability was found (intra-observer ICC2,1 = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.84, 0.93; inter-observer ICC2,1 = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.83, 0.93). The Bland-Altman plot demonstrated satisfactory agreement. In the analysis of concurrent validity, a strong, positive, significant correlation was found between SATIS-Stroke and SS-QOL (rs = 0.74; p <0.001 with an r2=0.44; p=0.001). Diagnostic accuracy was satisfactory, with 80.8% sensitivity and 85.2% specificity. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the SATIS-Stroke questionnaire exhibited adequate reliability, concurrent validity, and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, this is a valid, reproducible measure for the assessment of satisfaction with regard to activities and participation following a stroke.
