Psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures assessing self-efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the patient-reported outcome measure assessing self-efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and recommend the most robust measurement. A systematic review of psychometric properties. We performed systematic electronic searches in the following databases from inception to 26 May 2022: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO via OVID. This review evaluated the tools' quality in accordance with the Selection of Consensus-Based Health Measurement Instruments 2018 system Evaluation guidelines. Three patient-reported outcome measures were identified in the five included studies. The "IBD-yourself" questionnaire revealed very low evidence for a sufficient hypothesis test for construct validity, moderate evidence for insufficient internal consistency, and very low evidence for uncertain measurement error. Evidence from Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale validated internal consistency, structural validity, criterion validity, and hypothesis test for construct validity. However, evidence of moderate quality corroborated this reliability. The Adolescents and Young Adults Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale demonstrated very low evidence for sufficient internal consistency, moderate evidence for a sufficient hypothesis test for construct and content validity, and very low evidence for uncertain reliability. Compared with the other two measures, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Self-Efficacy Scale has higher quality evidence of higher overall ratings for some of its psychometric properties, but there were some methodological problems that must be further studied to determine their quality. It is uncertain whether a scale to assess self-efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease has good measurement performance in clinical applications. This study first presents the methodological quality and psychometric properties of the self-efficacy scale used to assess patients with inflammatory bowel disease, which is based on the Consensus-Based Health Measurement Instruments standard. This study can help researchers and physicians decide which scale is the most suitable and reliable for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Because this was a systematic review based on synthesizing information from previous studies, no human participants were included.
