Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

PURPOSE:

Is to test the feasibility and the reliability of the Arabic version of wee functional independence measure (weeFIM) in children with healed burns.

BACKGROUND:

Since kids are the most influenced casualty of burn and they may have lasting disabilities because of this harm, consequently they should have care in evaluation and treatment procedure in exploration.

There are two main instruments that can be utilized to evaluate the function of young kid's which are the Functional independence measure for kids (WeeFIM) instrument and the Pediatric evaluation of disability inventory (PEDI) instrument.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and feasibility of the Arabic version of the WeeFIM instrument in kids from 3 years to 16 years of age with healed burn.

HYPOTHESES:

Arabic version of WeeFIM questionnaire will not be feasible and reliable to measure and report the functional outcome of kids with healed burns.

RESEARCH QUESTION:

Is the Arabic version of weeFIM instrument feasible and reliable enough to measure and report the functional outcome of children with healed burns?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. First the weeFIM will undergo forward Arabic translation followed by English backward translation.
2. Second the instrument will be adapted to Egyptian accent.
3. Third the process of filling of questionnaire will be applied. It will be either parent filled or child filled. And will be performed by interview for illiterate patients.
4. Last, statistical analysis for feasibility and reliability will be performed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

group A

from 3 to 7 years included 36 patients

WeeFIM instrument

Intervention Type OTHER

In a formative setting, the WeeFIM tool examines functional independence in kids aged 6 months to 7 years old. It can also be used with children over the age of 7 who show functional ability. The instrument may be controlled by observational data or a meeting, and it takes 15 to 20 minutes to create \[10\].

group B

from 8 to 16 years included 17 patients

WeeFIM instrument

Intervention Type OTHER

In a formative setting, the WeeFIM tool examines functional independence in kids aged 6 months to 7 years old. It can also be used with children over the age of 7 who show functional ability. The instrument may be controlled by observational data or a meeting, and it takes 15 to 20 minutes to create \[10\].
