| Objective: To evaluate the consistency between rehabilitation therapy interns and instructors in using ICF-RS quantitative standards to assess patients with chronic functional impairment. Methods: The study included 39 patients (23 males and 16 females) with an average age of 47.26±14.83 years, covering neurological, musculoskeletal, and other types of disorders. Through training, 4 interns and 2 supervising teachers independently evaluated the patient’s physical function, activity function, participation function, and overall function. Results: The Kappa coefficient among the teaching staff ranged from 0.673 to 1, indicating a high degree of consistency in their evaluations. The Kendall harmony coefficient among interns ranged from 0.871 to 0.976, while the Kendall harmony coefficient among the 6 assessors ranged from 0.916 to 0.96. Conclusion: Trained interns can achieve evaluation consistency similar to that of their supervising teachers. The ICF-RS quantitative standard has reliability and consistency in clinical practice. The research results support the widespread application of ICF-RS quantitative standards in rehabilitation therapy education and clinical practice, and it is necessary to improve evaluation consistency through systematic training. |
