Antecedentes: el South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) es uno de los instrumentos de screening más utilizados para los problemas de adicción al juego. Método: el objetivo de esta investigación es analizar si el SOGS es un instrumento fiable y qué características de los estudios tienen efectos en su fiabilidad. Resultados: se llevó a cabo un meta-análisis con 63 estudios incluyendo 65 muestras independientes. El valor medio de a fue .86 (95% CI .84–.88), con una elevada heterogeneidad (I2 = 98.27%). Las variables que explicaron más heterogeneidad fueron el continente en que se…
Klātienē un attālināti veiktu datorizētu kognitīvo testu rezultātu atšķirības
2019
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai pastāv datorizētu kognitīvu testu rezultātu atšķirības, tos administrējot klātienē vai attālināti. Pētījumā piedalījās 98 dalībnieki, no kuriem 67 (68%) bija sievietes, 31 (32%) bija vīrietis, vecumā no 19 līdz 49 gadiem, vidējais vecums 25,59 gadi (SD=7,38), savukārt, attālināti vidēji 48 dalībnieki, no kuriem 36 (75%) bija sievietes un 12 (25%) vīrieši, grupas vidējais vecums 27,84 gadi(SD=8,62). Kognitīvo spēju mērīšanai tika izmantoti tādi instrumenti, kā simbolu šifrēšanas tests, verbālās atmiņas tests, vizuālās uzmanības un vizuālās vadības tests (Stroop tests) funkciju novērtēšanai. Pētījuma dalībnieki datorizētus kognitīvus testus pildīja ga…
Metabolomics: An Emerging Approach to Understand Pathogenesis and to Assess Diagnosis and Response to Treatment in Spondyloarthritis
2022
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of rheumatic diseases whose pathogenesis relies on a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Over the last several years, the importance of the alteration of the gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, and the interaction of bacterial products with host immunity have been highlighted as intriguing key players in SpA development. The recent advent of the so called “-omics” sciences, that include metabolomics, opened the way to a new approach to SpA through a deeper characterisation of the pathogenetic mechanisms behind the disease. In addition, metabolomics can reveal potential new biomarkers to diagnose and monitor SpA patients. The aim of…
Multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people: protocol for a systematic psychometric review
2019
IntroductionAn increasing number of investigations highlight the complex nature of frailty; therefore, the use of multidimensional assessment instruments could be useful in clinical decision-making. Frail people are found mainly in the community setting which is why this is the ideal environment for early screening and intervention. For this purpose, it is necessary to have valid, time-effective and easy-to-use frailty assessment instruments. The aim of this review is to critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of the measurement properties of all multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people.Methods and analysisMedline…
Transcultural Adaptation and Theoretical Models of Validation of the Spanish Version of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index Version 6.2 (SCHFI v.6.2)
2021
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major and growing public health problem worldwide. Across the world, heart failure is associated with high mortality, high hospitalization rates, and poor quality of life. Self-care is defined as a naturalistic decision-making process involving the choice of behaviors that maintain physiologic stability, the response to symptoms when they occur, and the ability to follow the treatment regimen and control symptoms. One instrument used to measure self-care is the Self Care of Heart Failure Index. Aim: The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Self Care of Heart Failure Index v.6.2 (SCHFI v.6.2). Methodol…
The Scales of Psychological Well-Being – a validation, usability and test–retest study among community-dwelling older people in Finland
2020
Objectives: To validate the Finnish version of the 42-item Scales of Psychological Well-Being among community-dwelling older people. The study also examined the test–retest reliability and usability, i.e. user experience, of the scales in this age group. Method: The 42-item version of the SPWB was administered as part of a face-to-face interview among 968 men and women aged 75, 80 or 85 years. The subsample for test–retest analyses comprised 42 participants, who in addition to 11 interviewers also answered questions concerning the usability of the scales. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, Pearson and intra-class correlation coefficients, and Kendal…
Test commission: Twenty-five years working on test quality
2022
The objective of this paper is to present the activities and projects carried out by the Spanish Test Commission, established by the Spanish Psychological Association to improve the quality and use of tests. The most relevant projects of the commission during its twenty-five years of existence are reviewed, describing the work carried out: a) to understand the opinions and attitudes of psychologists towards the tests, b) to evaluate the quality of the tests published in Spain, and c) to develop standards, guidelines, and ethical and deontological codes to improve testing practices. The commission’s other activities of a formative nature are also highlighted, as well as its relationships wit…

Validity of the compulsive exercise test in regular exercisers
2021
Measurement of compulsive exercise is important for the study of eating pathology in individuals who regularly participate in sport and exercise. The current study examined the factor structure, internal consistency and validity of the compulsive exercise test (CET) in regular exercisers. Participants were recruited via the internet and from sport clubs (n = 313 adults; M = 32 years; 57% female). A three-factor model for the CET was supported which included the weight control exercise, avoidance and rule-driven behaviour, and mood improvement subscales (fit statistics for the three-factor model: χ2SB = 4.39; CFI = .95; NNFI = .94, RMSEA = .100, 95% CI: .093—.110, AIC = 656.92). The subscale…
Lahjakkuuden tunnistaminen salibandyssä 13- ja 16-vuotiailla pojilla
2016
Kotamäki, Arto 2016. Lahjakkuuden tunnistaminen salibandyssä 13- ja 16-vuotiailla pojilla. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän Yliopisto. Valmennus- ja testausopin pro gradu-tutkielma 64s. Salibandy on kansainvälisesti kasvava nopeatempoinen joukkuepallopeli ja Suomessa hyvin suosittu erityisesti poikien keskuudessa. Pelissä tarvitaan taktisia, teknisiä ja psyykkisiä taitoja. Pelin intervalliluonne korostaa nopeus- ja taito-ominaisuuksia. Salibandystä on toistaiseksi vähän tieteellistä tutkimustietoa. Lahjakkuus urheilussa on moniulotteinen kokonaisuus, joka on perittyä ja hankittua. Lahjakkuuden tunnistaminen pallopeleissä on haastavaa, koska nuoren urheilija fyysinen ja henkinen kehitys …
