Summary
Translation of Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire (SAMQ) and Clinical Assessment of Modes Questionnaires (CAMQs) and psychometric evaluations of the Danish versions; D-SAMQ and D-CAMQs
The aims of this project were a) to translate the Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire (SAMQ) and the Clinical Assessment of Modes questionnaires (CAMQs) into Danish and b) to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Danish versions of the assessments D-SAMQ and D-CAMQs.
The SAMQ is an instrument providing an individual profile of which modes (ways of relating to the client) the occupational therapist (OT) or occupational therapy student (OTS) feels most comfortable with or prefers to employ when interacting with a client.
The CAMQs consist of three instruments evaluating preferred modes (CAM-C1) and modes used from the perspectives of both the client (CAM-C2) and the occupational therapist (OT) or occupational therapy student (OTS) (CAM-T).
In 2016-2021 the SAMQ and the CAMQs were translated and initially validated using a guideline for translation and cultural adaptation of patient-reported outcome measures recommended by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Task Force.
Since 2020, a total of four studies were initiated to evaluate aspects related to reliability and validity, clinical utility and client-centered practice in relation to D-SAMQ and D-CAMQs.
