The Norwegian version of the QOLIBRI – a study of metric properties based on a 12 month follow-up of persons with traumatic brain injury
Background: Consequences after Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affect the injured person's self-image and quality of life. The purpose was to assess the health related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12 months after a TBI in patients admitted to regional trauma centres, and to evaluate the metric properties of the Norwegian version of the Quality of Life After Brain Injury (QOLIBRI) questionnaire. Methods: Two hundred four patients with TBI of all severities were included. HRQoL at 12 months post-injury was measured by the QOLIBRI. It has a total scale and 6 subscales (satisfied with Cognition, Self, Daily Life and Autonomy and Social Relationships, and bothered by Emotions and Physical Problems). Demographic and injury related data were registered. Disability was registered by Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) and Rivermead Post-Concussion Questionnaire, and mental health by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, internal consistency by Cronbach's alpha and Corrected Item-Total Correlations were calculated. Rasch analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) were applied. Results: Mean age was 37.6 (SD 15.4) years; 72% were men, and 41% had higher education. Over 60% were severely injured. Mean Glasgow Coma Scale score was 9.3 (SD 4.5). According to the GOSE 5.9% had severe disability, 45.5% had moderate disability, and 48.5% had good recovery at 12 months post-injury. The QOLIBRI scales had a high internal consistency (a = 0.75-0.96), and only Physical Problems had an a < 0.85. In the Rasch analysis all subscales and their items fit the Rasch model, except for the depression item in the Emotion subscale. PCA and SEM analyses supported a six-factor structure in a second-order latent model. The QOLIBRI supports an underlying unidimensional HRQoL model. The SEM model fit statistics of the second-order model indicated a moderate fit to the observed data (CFI = 0.86, TLI = 0.85, RMSEA = 0.076, SRMR = 0.061, chi(2) = 1315.76, df = 623, p-value < 0.001). Conclusion: The Norwegian QOLIBRI has favourable psychometric properties, but there were some weaknesses related to its measurement properties of the total score when tested on a TBI population where many had severe TBI, and many had good recovery.Research Council of Norway [8744/SFP1108-13
Episode 095 : Cathrine Hasse
Cliff Anderson is Vanderbilt’s associate university librarian for research and digital strategy, and he’s back on the podcast interviewing another author of a fascinating book Cliff read recently. This time, he speaks with Cathrine Hasse, professor of Learning at Aarhus University in Denmark, author of the 2020 book Posthumanist Learning: What Robots and Cyborgs Teach Us about Being Ultra-Social from Routledge Press.
Cliff and Cathrine have a wide-ranging conversation, covering such topics as posthumanism, Lev Vygotsky’s learning theories, why teaching humans is harder than teaching gorillas, and cyborgs
