Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the test-retest reliability and the concordance between the interviewer-administered
version and the self-administered version of a newly developed participation measure,
Participation Measure–3 Domains, 4 Dimensions (PM-3D4D).
Design
Multicenter observational study.
Setting
Outpatient rehabilitation programs.
Participants
Rehabilitation outpatients (N=262) participated in the study, including those (n=202)
who participated in the test-retest study and those (n=60) who participated in the
2 modes of the administration study.
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
The PM-3D4D includes 19 items measuring participation in productivity, social, and
community domains across 4 dimensions: diversity of participation, frequency of participation,
desire for change, and difficulty in participation.
Results
The test-retest reliability was good across domains and dimensions (intraclass correlation
coefficients, .76–.96) as well as in neurological and nonneurological groups. The
test-retest reliability was also mostly good at the item level. A high concordance
was found between the 2 administration modes (intraclass correlation coefficients,
0.96–1.00).
Conclusions
The study results lend support to the use of the PM-3D4D to reliably assess participation
of rehabilitation patients. The high concordance between the 2 administration modes
suggests the potential use of the instrument in population-based research.
