Development of a self-report measure of living with cochlear implants (LivCI): a content evaluation
Key Points
The LivCI successfully assesses personal and psychosocial factors relevant to adult cochlear implant users, enhancing understanding of user experience.
Key evidence indicates that stakeholder involvement boosted content validity, particularly in addressing psychosocial concerns.
Assessment involved content evaluation through stakeholder engagement, focusing on both personal experiences and social impacts.
Implications highlight the importance of user-centered measures in improving cochlear implant rehabilitation strategies.
Abstract
