ABSTRACT

Objective: In order to measure the result of domestic rehabilitation and find out the level of participation and communities integration, this study translated Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique(CHART) and completed its Korean version, and verified its reliability and validity. Methods: Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique-Korean(CHART-K) was completed through translation and back translation, and to apply it domestically, a pilot study was conducted. As for the result of the internal consistency, cronhach’s α, Pearson correlation coefficient. Afterwards, reliability and validity were verified. Results: Content validity index was calculated result stood at 0.97, which was high level, and no questions were deleted. Discriminant validity of CHART-K was tested average of the total score of the patients with spinal cord injury was lower than that of ordinary group, and the difference was statistically significant(p<.01). For convergent validity, correlation analysis was carried out with K-CIQ and the figure stood at .524, a statistically significant level(p<.01). Internal consistency was good with Cronbach’s α .628 and test and retest results showed a significant correlation of .730~ .992(p<.01). Conclusion: This study translated CHART, completed CHART-K suitable for domestic situation, and reliability and validity was confirmed. It is expected that CHART-K could be used as a tool to measure the degree of rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injury and to find out the level of their participation and integration in the community integration, complementing the limitations of existing assessment tools.
