Laying the foundation for an instrument to assess environmental factors in people with chronic pulmonary diseases: mapping the content of the Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors (CHIEF) to ICF core sets
To identify adaptations needed for the Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors in assessing environmental factors for chronic pulmonary diseases.
Mapped CHIEF content to ICF core sets
Identified gaps in specific environmental domains
Evaluated support structures available for patients
Significant gaps found in air quality factors
Insufficient health professional support identified
Lack of assistive products noted
Inadequate social support highlighted
Abstract
Although the CHIEF aligns with the ICF, important gaps were identified in air quality, health professional support, assistive products, and social support domains, indicating the need for adaptation.
