Key Points

To develop and evaluate the content validity of the HAND-Q, a modular patient-reported outcome measure designed to evaluate symptoms, function, and quality of life in individuals with hand conditions.
Followed international guidelines for patient-reported outcome measure development and validation.
Gathered and integrated qualitative feedback through extensive input from affected individuals and clinician experts to refine modular domains.
The initial phase established comprehensive content validity for the modular HAND-Q based on expert clinical guidance and direct patient experiences.
The instrument was structured into modular domains to prepare for large-scale international field testing of its psychometric properties across clinical practice and research settings.

Implication

Qualitative study reveals the development and content validity of the modular HAND-Q, suggesting a comprehensive assessment tool for diverse hand conditions.

Abstract

The HAND-Q is a comprehensive PROM developed using extensive patient and clinician expert input, following established guidelines for PROM development and validation. In the next phase, the psychometric properties of the HAND-Q will be established in an international field test, following which the HAND-Q will be available for use in clinical research and practice .
