Consensus was achieved on importance of the rest items and on feasibility of most items except for one domain ("Healthy lifestyle", scored ≥7 by 68.8%), one subdomain ("Interpersonal contact etiquette", scored ≥7 56.3%), and one indicator ("Percentage of patients who wear respirators in public", scored ≥7 62.5%) (Table 4).
Feasibility of scale items was assessed by inspection of missing values.
A debriefing with these experts provided support for the relevance, acceptance, and feasibility of the items.
Given the constraints of the project (especially the overarching focus on feasibility), the number of items across the competencies were insufficient to run a detailed analysis of this feature of the construct.
To evaluate the feasibility of integrating all items to a total scale, an additional single factor model (all 16 items aggregated on one factor) was tested.
The availability of examples for all checklist items indicates the feasibility of addressing each recommended item in the main protocol rather than in separate documents.
This phase aimed to identify and evaluate the adequacy of the test protocol descriptions, feasibility issues, discriminatory characteristics of items, adequate reflection of 'shoulder function' by the items, and the perceptions of participants and researchers.
In terms of feasibility, the items with the highest rate of missing responses were items 15 and 16 which dealt with problems in work/study.
Further study among migrant workers in Kolkata, India re-validated a similar 10-item scale and tested out the feasibility of using only 6 items among same study population [ 27].
Fifteen inpatients were selected in order to assess the comprehension (how items were interpreted) and feasibility of the reviewed pool of items and format response.
