About this study

Official title: Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Questionnaire for Non-Invasive Ventilation (S3-NIV)

This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, of the Turkish version of the Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Questionnaire for Non-Invasive Ventilation (S3-NIV). The S3-NIV is a specific tool designed to assess difficulties and compliance in patients receiving home non-invasive ventilation. A total of 120 stable patients using home NIV for at least 3 months will be enrolled across multiple centers.

Read the detailed description

Following the official linguistic validation process authorized by the Mapi Research Trust, this multi-center observational study will assess the psychometric validity of the Turkish S3-NIV questionnaire. Patients will complete the 11-item S3-NIV questionnaire alongside a sociodemographic and clinical data form. To evaluate test-retest reliability, a randomly selected subgroup of patients (n=40) will re-complete the questionnaire 14 to 15 days after the initial administration. Internal consistency, construct validity (via factor analysis), and criterion validity (correlations with clinical parameters such as daily NIV usage hours and blood gas values) will be analyzed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Internal Consistency and Construct Validity of the Turkish S3-NIV

    Evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for internal consistency and Confirmatory/Exploratory Factor Analysis (CFA/EFA) to confirm the structural validity of the 11-item scale.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Test-Retest Reliability

    Evaluated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between the first and second administrations of the questionnaire in a randomly selected subgroup.

    Measured: 14 to 15 days after baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Insufficiency and Chronic Respiratory Failure, run by Istanbul Saglik Bilimleri University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Internal Consistency and Construct Validity of the Turkish S3-NIV (time frame: Baseline (Day 0)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
