Reduction in patient burdens with graphical computerized adaptive testing on the ADL scale: tool development and simulation.
Background: The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness and efficacy of saving time and reducing burden for patients, nurses, and even occupational therapists through computer adaptive testing (CAT).Methods: Based on an item bank of the Barthel Index (BI) and the Frenchay Activities Index...

However, averaged ability estimations reveal insignificant differences between CAT and NAT.Conclusion: This study found that mobile nursing services, placed at the bedsides of patients could, through the programmed VBA-Excel CAT module, reduce the burden to patients and save time, more so than the traditional NAT paper-and-pencil testing appraisals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
