Abstract
Purpose: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to inform value-based healthcare. Within speech-language pathology (SLP), there is no synthesis of validated PROMs to guide professional practice. This scoping review systematically identifies and evaluates condition-specific PROMs across adult SLP practice.
Method: A literature search was performed to identify studies published until 18th February 2022 from MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Scopus, Cochrane Collaboration, and Web of Science. Abstracts and full texts were screened in Covidence. Relevant studies that validated PROMs in English were extracted and assessed using the "Checklist to operationalise measurement characteristics of PROMs" by two independent reviewers.
Result: Ninety-seven articles provided validation data for 71 PROMS across seven SLP practice areas. These included voice (n = 18), swallowing (n = 14), language (n = 11), fluency (n = 8), speech (n = 4), laryngectomy (n = 3), and cognitive-communication (n = 2). No PROMs were identified for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) (n = 0). Quality ratings were variable on the Francis et al. checklist.
Conclusion: A range of validated PROMs were identified to guide SLP practice in measuring patient perceptions across a range of practice areas in adults. Opportunities for further development in SLP practice areas with limited PROMs, such as speech, cognitive-communication, and AAC are also highlighted.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology is an international journal which promotes discussion on a broad range of current clinical and theoretical issues. Submissions may include experimental, review and theoretical discussion papers, with studies from either quantitative and/or qualitative frameworks. Articles may relate to any area of child or adult communication or dysphagia, furthering knowledge on issues related to etiology, assessment, diagnosis, intervention, or theoretical frameworks. Articles can be accompanied by supplementary audio and video files that will be uploaded to the journal’s website. Special issues on contemporary topics are published at least once a year. A scientific forum is included in many issues, where a topic is debated by invited international experts.
