Overview

Development of an easy-read questionnaire improves reporting in stroke survivors with visual impairment, suggesting enhanced accessibility.

Key Points

  • The aim is to create an easy-read version of the BIVI-IQ for stroke survivors to better assess the impact of visual impairment.
  • Engaged stakeholders in multiple meetings for input on the easy-read version.
  • Used an iterative process to refine the questionnaire through cognitive interviews.
  • Involved 12 stroke survivors with visual impairment in one clinical study.
  • Analyzed correlation and agreement between easy-read and standard versions.
  • Five iterations led to no new issues reported by participants.
  • Image amendments were made across eight of the 13 items.
  • 45.5% of participants preferred the easy-read version.
  • Strong positive correlation found between easy-read and standard version scores.
  • Significant agreement noted for 12 items based on Weighted Kappa analysis.
