Abbreviated name
SIS
Full name
Stroke Impact Scale
Items ?
The number of questions in the survey
8
Short description
A Short-Form version of the SIS that can accurately provide the disability score and overall index score similar to the longer version, but with considerable brevity.
PCCC or QoL? ?
This compendium contains patient-reported measures that are either designed to specifically measure aspects of Person Centred Co-Ordinated Care (P3C), or alternatively tools that are designed to measure some aspect of Quality of Life (QoL) or Health Related Quality of Life (hrQoL). All the measures in this compendium have been broadly categorised into one of those two concepts.
Health-Related Quality of Life
Main Domains Measured ?
This is the key domains that the measure is targeting.
Quality of Life for Stroke
Type of measure ?
The measures in this compendium can take a variety of forms. Generally, they will be either Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) or Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM). However, we have also included a few measures that are completed by proxy-individual (PROXY), which are useful in instances where the respondent cannot answer directly (e.g. dementia or end of life). Sometimes, these measures can even be a composite of these types, and target both experiences and outcomes – we have labelled these measures “PROEMs”.
PROM
Respondent ?
The person that fills in the questionnaire - e.g. patient, Health Care Professional, or proxy (normally a carer or family member)

Psychometrics

Brief description ?
A brief description of the initially reported psychometric properties of the measure.
Reliability of the summary measure was assessed using Cronbach alpha and found to be high, indicating that the index created by summing the 8 dimensions is internally consistent and reproducible. The convergent validity of the measure was assessed by comparing the results of the index with those gained from a generic patient-reported outcome measure, the EQ-5D, and found to be highly correlated.
Co-developed with patients ?
Whether the measure was co-developed with patients, a critical stage in the design and implementation of truly person-centred measures.
N
CTT or IRT ?
Whether the measure uses Classical Test Theory, or the newer Item Response Theory
