Protocol - Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) - Adults

Add to My Toolkit
Description

The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) includes 59 proxy- or self-report items in 8 domains that assess multidimensional stroke outcomes. Items 1(a-d) measure strength. Items 2(a-g) measure memory and thinking. Items 3(a-I) measure emotions. Items 4(a-g) measure ease or difficulty of communication. Items 5(a-j) measure activities of daily living/instrumental activities of daily living (ADL/IADL). Items 6(a-I) measure mobility. Items 7(a-e) measure hand function. Items 8(a-h) measure participation/role function. Item responses are scored on a 5-point Likert-style scale. A score of 1 = an inability to complete the item and a score of 5 = no difficulty experienced at all. A standardized score ranging from 0 to 100 is calculated for all domains, with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life. An extra question on stroke recovery asks that the client rate on a scale from 0 to 100 how much the client feels that he/she has recovered from his/her stroke, where 0 = "no recovery" and 100 = "full recovery."

Specific Instructions

The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) should be used with caution in individuals with mild impairment as the items in the Communication, Memory, and Emotion domains are considered easy and only capture limitations in the most impaired individuals.

Protocol

Stroke Impact Scale

VERSION 3.0

The purpose of this questionnaire is to evaluate how stroke has impacted your health and life. We want to know from YOUR POINT OF VIEW how stroke has affected you. We will ask you questions about impairments and disabilities caused by your stroke, as well as how stroke has affected your quality of life. Finally, we will ask you to rate how much you think you have recovered from your stroke.

These questions are about the physical problems which may have occurred as a result of your stroke.

Scoring: Each item is rated in a 5-point Likert scale in terms of the difficulty the patient has experienced in completing each item. A score of 1 = an inability to complete the item and a score of 5 = no difficulty experienced at all. Summative scores are generated for each domain. Domain scores range from 0-100.

The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) is scored in the following way, for each domain:

Transformed Scale = [(Actual raw score - lowest possible raw score) / Possible raw score range] x 100

Three items in the emotion domain, 3f, 3h, and 3i, are reverse-scored, i.e., 1 becomes 5, 2 becomes 4, 3 remains the same, 4 becomes 2, and 5 becomes 1, prior to manual calculation. For these items, use the following equation to compute the individual’s score:

6 - individual’s rating = item score

The last item assesses the participant’s overall perception of recovery and is presented in the form of a visual analog scale from 0 to 100, where 0 = "no recovery" and 100 = "full recovery."

Personnel and Training Required

Selection Rationale

The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), Version 3.0 is a reliable and valid proxy- or self-administered questionnaire that is widely used to measure the quality of life in stroke survivors. In contrast to more generic quality of life instruments, the SIS is more sensitive to short-term changes in health status after a stroke.
