Adaptation and Validation of the LUNS for Use in Turkey.

Summary

According to the most up-to-date knowledge, there is no Turkish comprehensive and validated instrument to assess stroke survivors' unmet needs in the longer term. So, this study aims to translate and adapt the LUNS into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties in survivors living at home after a stroke.

Our hypothesis in this study is:

\- The Turkish Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke Questionnaire (T-LUNS) is a valid tool for assessing the unmet needs of stroke patients in the Turkish population.

Conditions

• Disability Physical
• Quality of Life

The reliability and validity study of the T-LUNS

To test the reliability and validity of the T-LUNS, 110 chronic stroke survivors fulfilling the inclusion / exclusion criteria at the 3 study sites will be assessed. The assessment of each patient will include recording of the demographic and clinical characteristics and administration of the T-LUNS as well as the Turkish version of the Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 (SIS). For the assessment of test-retest reliability of the T-LUNS, half of the participants (n= 55) will fill in the T-LUNS again, 2 weeks after the first administration.
