The Impact

Abstract Objective The aim was to categorize the patient experience of PsA-related foot involvement by linking it to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Methods Concepts, obtained from a previous qualitative investigation of people with PsA and health professionals into their perspective of PsA-related foot involvement, were linked to the full version of the ICF classification. Concepts were linked to the most appropriate ICF category using established linking rules, which enable a systematic and standardized linking process. All concepts were linked independently to the ICF by two investigators, followed by a third investigator for adjudication. The professional backgrounds of the investigators included occupational therapy and podiatry. Results More than 100 distinct ICF categories were linked to the interview concepts. The most represented ICF category was body functions (35%), followed by environmental factors (31%), activities and participation (19%) and body structure (15%). Concepts that could not be linked to the ICF were related to coping, aspects of time and knowledge. Health professionals identified a greater proportion of body functions and fewer activity and participation categories compared with patients, indicating a possible mismatch of key concerns. Interdisciplinary group analysis demonstrated merit. Conclusion A list of ICF categories was generated, defining aspects of functioning important and relevant to the impact of PsA-related foot involvement. Despite the localized anatomical focus of this study, the effect of foot problems in PsA was linked to all components of the ICF, confirming the profound impact on functioning and daily life.

Core Set

Objective: To systematically review the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in observational studies. Methods: This study is a systematic review of articles that use the ICF in observational studies. We took into account the observational design papers available in databases such as PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO, published in English and Portuguese from January 2001 to June 2011. We excluded those in which the samples did not comprise individuals, those about children and adolescents, and qualitative methodology articles. After reading the abstracts of 265 identified articles, 65 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 18 were excluded. The STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) adapted Checklist, with 15 items needed for observational studies, was applied to the 47 remaining articles. Any paper that met 12 of these criteria was included in this systematic review. Results: 29 articles were reviewed. Regarding the ICF application methodology, the checklist was used in 31% of the articles, the core set in 31% and the ICF categories in 31%. In the remaining 7%, it was not possible to define the applied methodology. In most papers (41%), qualifiers were used in their original format. As far as the area of knowledge is concerned, most of the studies were related to Rheumatology (24%) and Orthopedics (21%). Regarding the study design, 83% of the articles used cross-sectional studies. Conclusion: Results indicate a wide scientific production related to ICF over the past 10 years. Different areas of knowledge are involved in the debate on the improvement of information on morbidity. However, there are only a few quantitative epidemiological studies involving the use of ICF. Future studies are needed to improve data related to functioning and disability.

Function Activity

Current criticisms of the International Classification of Function, Disability and Health (ICF) are focused on its activity/participation component and on its conceptual basis. I propose structural and conceptual changes. (1) The components would be body structure, body function, intent, actual environment, and participation. (2) Intent would be linked to the concept of self-agency, and its codes would have two qualifiers associating it with capability and strength of willed activity. (3) All activity/participation codes of the original ICF would be moved to the modified ICF's participation component. This component is based on interaction between intent and environment, and it is linked to the concept of joint agency. (4) A new entity, scene setting, represents the sum total of all components' codes involved in a given act of participation. (5) Additional constructs are suggested to elucidate the relations between intent and environment that allow enactment of a given act of participation. The modified ICF is consistent with current concepts of disability and unambiguous in distinctions between body function, activity, and participation. There are no significant alterations in the original ICF codes.
