ABSTRACT

Objective: This study was to develop Korean Version of Community Integration Questionnaire(K-CIQ) translational CIQ, validity and reliability were verified. Methods: In study of K-CIQ, total of 300 study subjects including 200 adult stroke patients and 100 normal people. In order to validity and reliability of K-CIQ which was 4 validity studies were conducted including content, discriminant, convergent and construct validity, and internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: Content validity results showed high scores around 4 point in all 15 item in the verification of understanding, and content validity index was highly calculated at .96 in item-fit test. In K-CIQ average scores in discriminant validity results, stroke group showed lower scores than normal group and the differences were statistically significant(p<.01). In convergent validity results, correlation between SF-36 and K-CIQ was .197 and this showed statistically significant positive correlation(p<.01). In construct validity results, 4 factors and 13 item were identified. Internal consistency of total item in K-CIQ was at high level of .712. In test-retest reliability results all areas were statistically significant. Conclusion: The K-CIQ for stroke patients, has been proven validity and reliability. Based on these results, K-CIQ is expected to be used as basic data to measure various local rehabilitation results and related studies, and as useful tools to measure social independence and regional community participation.
