Özet

ObjectiveTo translate and cross-culturally adapt The Community Integration Measure into Turkish (CIM-T) and to assess its reliability and validity in patients with chronic stroke.Patients and MethodsFifty participants completed the CIM-T, Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) and the London Handicap Scale (LHS). All participants completed the CIM-T questionnaire twice in 7 days. The internal consistency of the CIM-T was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, while the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate test-retest reliability. The convergent validity of CIM-T was determined with CIQ and LHS by using Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis.ResultsThe CIM-T demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's & alpha; = 0.955) and test-retest reliability (ICC= 0.992). The CIM-T showed a good correlation with CIQ (R = 0.727, p < 0.001) and LHS (R = 0.694, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe Turkish version of CIM is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing chronic stroke patients. It is a preferable scale for the clinical evaluation of Turkish-speaking patients with chronic stroke.
