Das deutsche Kinder- und Jugendhilferecht normiert in seinem § 1 Deutsches Sozialgesetz, Achtes Buch (SGB VIII) ein Recht auf Erziehung, das mit spezifischen Erziehungszielen verbunden ist. Der vorliegende Artikel zeichnet die historische Entwicklung und Veränderung dieser Erziehungsziele nach und zeigt anhand einer Diskursanalyse neuerer Verhandlungen um das Kinder- und Jugendhilferecht, wie Erziehung und ihre Ziele mit Blick auf das generationale Ordnen verhandelt werden.
Introduction: Two widely used outcome measures to assess functioning in neurological rehabilitation are the Functional Independence Measure (FIM™) and the Barthel Index.
The current study aims to establish the equivalence of the total score of the FIM™ motor scale and the Barthel Index through the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and Rasch measurement theory.
Methods: Secondary analysis of a large sample of patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis, undergoing rehabilitation was conducted. All patients were assessed at the same time on both the FIM™ and the Barthel Index. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Linking Rules were used to establish conceptual coherency between the 2 scales, and the Rasch measurement model to establish an exchange of the total scores.
Results: Using the FIM™ motor scale, items from both scales linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health d4 Mobility or d5 Self-care chapters. Their co-calibration satisfied the assumptions of the Rasch model for each of 3 diagnostic groups. A ceiling effect was observed for the Barthel Index when contrasted against the FIM™ motor scale.
Conclusion: Having a Rasch interval metric to transform scores between the FIM™ motor scale and Barthel Index is valuable for monitoring functioning, meta-analysis, quality audits and hospital benchmarking.
