NCOG-08. DETERMINING THE CONTENT VALIDITY OF MEASURES OF BASIC AND INSTRUMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL) IN PATIENTS WITH BRAIN TUMORS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

摘要

BACKGROUNDBrain tumor patients may experience impairments in everyday functioning due to both physical and cognitive symptoms. Measures of everyday functioning may therefore be relevant for brain tumor patients in both clinical trials and practice. Everyday functioning can be assessed using activity of daily living (ADL) outcome measures. There are two categories of ADL: basic activities of daily living (BADL; e.g. washing and dressing) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL; e.g. shopping or cooking). The aim of this systematic review was to identify outcome measures containing items on BADL and/or IADL that currently are used in studies with brain tumor patients, and to assess the content validity of these instruments.
