PARTICIPATION MEASUREMENT QUESTIONNAIRE [PMQ] - DIMENSIONALITY AND FIDELITY IN A GROUP WITH VISION IMPAIRMENTS

Summary/Abstract: While in a previous article (Răcășan, 2019) we presented the motivation for the PMQ development, its advantages in comparison with other instruments for measuring objective participation and a justification for the difficulty of adapting an existing instrument, the present paper summarizes a part of psychometric properties analyze of the Participation Measurement Questionnaire [PMQ] in the case of a group of visually impaired persons. In the first stage, presented in this paper, we analyze the factorial structure of the instrument to decide whether the one-dimensional analysis of internal or sub-scale consistency is correct. Depending on the one-dimensional or multidimensional structure that emerged from the analysis of the main components, we will also analyze the fidelity of the instrument using the alpha Cronbach coefficient. Subsequently, in a paper that is under preparation, we will analyze the construct validity of the instrument for the same group of participants.
