Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale 2-Short Form (AIMS2-SF). Subjects fulfilling the ACR 2010 classification criteria for RA were enrolled into the study. Scale reliability was investigated using test–retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient—ICC) and internal consistency approaches (Cronbach’s α). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients evaluated relationships between quantitative parameters and validity. Construct validity was assessed by correlating AIMS2-SF with clinical parameters and functional parameters including, Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Duruöz Hand Index (DHI). One hundred and sixteen patients (105 females and 11 males) were recruited. The mean age ± standard deviation (SD) was 52.45 ± 11.48 years. Cronbach’s α was 0.88 and the ICC was 0.91. There were significant correlations (rho and p values) with parameters directly related to health-related quality of life (HRQoL); NHP subscales (energy levels: 0.54, pain: 0.62, emotional reaction: 0.50, sleep 0.44, social interaction: 0.51, physical activity: 0.61; p < 0.0005), HAQ (0.60, p < 0.0005), BDI (0.63, p < 0.001) and DHI (0.63, p < 0.0005). Poor or non-significant correlations were found for parameters not directly related to QoL, such as age (0.07, p = 0.45) and disease duration (0.12, p = 0.21); however, disease activity (0.43, p < 0.0005) and NRS pain (0.46, p < 0.0005) were correlated with AIMS2-SF as moderate. The Turkish AIMS2-SF version is a reliable and valid tool that may be used to evaluate QoL for RA. The scale can be easily used in daily practice.
