Odlike srpske verzije upitnika za procenu uticaja artritisa 2 kod osoba sa reumatoidnim artritisom

Abstract

Reumatoidni artritis (RA) je bolest koja u velikoj meri određuje funkcionisanje osobe zbog čega je važno ustanoviti kvalitet života ovih individua. Cilj ovog istraživanja je prevod Upitnika za procenu uticaja artritisa 2 (Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2) na srpski jezik, i procena njegovih mernih svojstava kod osoba sa RA u Srbiji. Istraživanje je sprovedeno onlajn krajem 2021. godine, a uzorak su činile 106 ispitanica sa RA koje su anonimno popunile online formu upitnika koji je postavljen na društvene mreže. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su visoku pouzdanost celokupne skale, dok je objektivnost instrumenta postignuta standardizacijom načina na koji se instrument zadaje, ocenjuje i tumači. Istraživanje je pokazalo i da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika među ispitanicima iz Srbije, Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine ni na jednom od subtestova upitnika, a to je ispitivano zbog eventualnih jezičkih i kulturnih razlika koje postoje. Preporuka za buduća istraživanja je ispitivanje upitnika u test-retest situaciji, uvođenje kom- plementarnog upitnika, kao i da u nekom narednom korišćenju ovog instrumen- ta na srpskom jeziku u njegovom prevodu učestvuju reumatolozi, kao i osobe koje boluju od RA.__

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and heterogeneous disease that largely determines a person’s physical and social functioning, which is why it is very important to establish the quality of life of these individuals. The aim of this research is the translation of the Arthritis impact measurement scales 2 (AIMS 2) into Serbian, and the assessment of its measurement properties in people with RA in Serbia. The research was conducted online at the end of 2021, and the sample consisted of 106 respondents with RA who anonymously filled out an online form of the questionnaire that was posted on social networks. The results of the research showed high reliability of the entire scale, while the objectivity of the instrument was achieved by standardizing the way the instrument is assigned, evaluated and interpreted. The research also showed that there is no statistically significant difference between respondents from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina on any of the subtests of the questionnaire, and this was investigated due to possible linguistic and cultural differences that exist. The recommendation for future research is to examine the questionnaire in a test-retest situation, to introduce a complementary questionnaire, as well as to involve rheumatologists and people suffering from RA in translation of the questionnaire into Serbian language in any future use of it.
