With the recent funding changes in health care services, more seniors with dementia are cared for in their homes and the nature of their condition puts them at higher risk for accidents and injuries.
The Safety Assessment Scale (SAS) was developed for use by community healthcare providers to evaluate and lower the risk of accidents, provide recommendations to family caregivers and enhance case management. Method. The scale was assessed in terms of the reliability as well as content, criterion and construct validity with 176 community-residing people with dementia in Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia. The Safety Assessment Scale was validated in French and English.
The SAS demonstrated an excellent test-retest (ICC=.91) and inter-rater (ICC=.88) reliability. Results for validity were also extremely good.
The scale is available in French and English. The short version of the SAS is a screening tool and the longer version provides an in-depth evaluation of safety and intervention planning. The SAS can be used by a variety of health care professionals who work with individuals who have dementia.
随着近期医疗保健服务资金的变化,越来越多患有痴呆症的老年人在家中接受照料,而他们的病情性质使他们面临更高的事故和受伤风险。
开发安全评估量表(SAS)供社区医疗服务提供者使用,以评估并降低事故风险,为家庭照料者提供建议,并加强病例管理。方法。该量表在魁北克、艾伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省对176名居住在社区的痴呆症患者进行了信度以及内容、标准和结构效度方面的评估。安全评估量表已通过法语和英语验证。
SAS显示出出色的重测信度(ICC = 0.91)和评分者间信度(ICC = 0.88)。效度结果也非常好。
该量表有法语和英语版本。SAS的简短版本是一种筛查工具,较长版本则提供对安全性和干预计划的深入评估。SAS可供各类与痴呆症患者打交道的医疗保健专业人员使用。
