Italian Translation of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire

December 10, 2021 updated by: Maurizio Calcagni, University of Zurich

Italian Translation and Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian. This poses a problem when evaluating Italian speaking patients. Our aim is to develop a culturally adapted Italian version of the Michigan Hand Questionnaire. There is no risk involved for the patients, as the task of the recruited patients is to answer a survey (online and in clinics).

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Native Italian speaking patients followed by the Hand Therapy of the University Hospital Zürich and the Handtherapy Fairplay center of Bologna, IT, with a pathology of the hand/s and or wrist/s.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • age > 18 years
  • native Italian speakers
  • wrist/hand pathology
  • trauma (fractures, tendon injuries, etc.)
  • chronic pathology, the pathology has been present for at least 1 month (tenosynovitis, chronic arthrosis pain, rheumatic hand or wrist disorders)
  • in case of hand/wrist surgery: at least 4 weeks have elapsed since surgery to avoid that the patient could not perform certain actions evaluated by the scale, for example lifting a pan or shopping bags, due to normal post-operative precautions.
  • full possession of mental capacity

Exclusion Criteria:

  • age < 18 years
  • non-native Italian speakers of Italian, thus also excluding second generation Swiss Italians ("secundo")
  • mental incapacity
  • upper limb in cast/locked by splint (criterion in Chung's article 98) at the time of the evaluation

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Validity
Time Frame: 3 months
Validity will be assessed as structural validity, i.e., "the degree to which the scores of the Health-Related Patient Reported Outcome (HR-PRO) are an adequate reflection of the dimensionality of the construct to be measured" (Mokkink et al., 2010).
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reliability
Time Frame: 3 months
Reliability will be assessed as internal consistency (i.e., "the degree of the interrelatedness among the items" [Mokkink et al., 2010]), test-retest reliability (i.e., "the proportion of the total variance in the measurements which is due to 'true' differences between patients" [Mokkink et al., 2010]), and measurement error (i.e., "the systematic and random error of a patient's score that is not attributed to true changes in the construct to be measured" [Mokkink et al., 2010]).

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 1, 2021

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
