Development, Reliability and Validity of the Telerehabilitation Satisfaction Questionnaire- TrSQ
Condition: Neurological Disease
MeSH terms: Nervous System Diseases
Study type: Observational

Summary: 
      Parkinson's disease (PD), stroke, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are the most common
      neurological diseases. Today, physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches together with
      optimal medical and surgical treatment form the basis of treatment for these diseases.
      Recently, it has been stated that various telerehabilitation interventions in the field of
      physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be an additional option to the rehabilitation approaches
      applied in the clinic. In addition, there are benefits such as continuity in patient
      education and rehabilitation, saving time and expenditure of individuals on the road.
      However, some problems arise in this form of treatment. Especially weak internet connection,
      sometimes requiring technical knowledge and expensive equipment can reduce the participation
      and satisfaction level of individuals. It is also important to evaluate the level of
      satisfaction in expanding the usability of telerehabilitation services and determining the
      best telerehabilitation service. For this reason, there is a need for questionnaires
      investigating the satisfaction level of physiotherapy and rehabilitation applied through
      telerehabilitation.
    

Detailed description: 
      Questionnaire items were created in two stages. First, 5 experts will independently review
      the literature on "telerehabilitation" and "satisfaction". In addition, these experts will be
      asked to create a pool of questions based on their experiences in telerehabilitation and by
      taking the opinions of patients receiving telerehabilitation about satisfaction. Then, 5
      experts will come together and obtain a single question pool containing the questions they
      deem important in their question pool. The second step will involve scaling the elements. In
      this study, scale items will be scored on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1, strongly
      disagree to 5, strongly agree.

      Then, it will be applied to a pilot group of 10 people and it will be evaluated whether the
      items prepared by the experts are understood by the patients. In line with the expert opinion
      and the result of the pilot study, the final version of the scale will be decided and applied
      to MS, PD, and stroke patients who make up the study group. Finally, the validity and
      reliability of the questionnaire will be calculated.
