dc.description.abstractBackground: Aim: To develop and validate a scale for assessing awareness about role of Physiotherapy in Stroke, among general public. Material And Methods: A 2 step approach with test construction and validation of the scale was adopted. The 32 item scale was developed using the specific literature and validated through expert review. It was administered on 50 voluntary Stroke Survivors, divided in 2 groups receiving general Physiotherapy information and Physiotherapy in Stroke information. The effect of education was measured to determine sensitivity and test retest reliability of the scale. Result: Items of the scale revealed good content coverage, positive expert review ratings, and acceptable item properties. It had good test retest reliability and internal consistency. Construct validity was strong specially after providing exposure of Physiotherapy in Stroke information among the sample participants. Conclusion: APIS is a robust tool with preliminary strong psychometric properties which can be used to measure awareness about Physiotherapy in Stroke among general public which can be used as an outcome measure in observational and experimental studies.en_US
