Validation of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for Vocational Rehabilitation From the Perspective of Physical Therapists: An International Delphi Survey

Background:
The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) is a list of essential categories on functioning based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), which describes a standard for interdisciplinary assessment, documentation, and communication in vocational rehabilitation (VR).
Objective:
To examine the content validity of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for VR from the perspective of physical therapists (PTs).
Design:
A three-round e-mail survey has been performed using a Delphi method.
Methods:
We conveniently sampled international PTs working in VR with work experience of ≥ 2 years who were asked to identify aspects they consider as relevant when evaluating and/or treating clients in VR. Responses were linked to the ICF categories and compared with the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for VR.
Results:
Sixty-two PTs from all 6 WHO world-regions responded with 3,917 statements that were subsequently linked to 338 ICF categories. Fifteen (17 %) of the 90 categories in the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for VR have been confirmed by the PTs in our sample. We identified twenty-two additional ICF categories that were not included in the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for VR.
Limitations:
VR in physical therapy is not well defined in every country hence might have resulted in small sample size and the results cannot be generalized to all PTs practicing in VR.
Conclusion:
The content validity of the ICF Core Set for VR is insufficient from a sole PT perspective. The results of this study could be used to define a PT specific set of ICF categories to develop and guide PT clinical practice in VR.
