To compare scores for dementia patients on a newly developed direct test of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) to scores on a widely accepted functional measure.
In 27 community-dwelling dementia patients, scores for the Test of Everyday Functional Ability (TEFA) were compared with scores on a widely used direct test of daily function (Independent Living Scale; ILS).
Mini-Mental State Examination scores ranged from 5 to 28 (mean +/- SD = 20.7 +/- 6.37). There was a highly significant correlation between total TEFA and total ILS scores (r(25) = 0.892, p < 0.001) as well as many of the comparable subscales.
The TEFA is a valid measure of IADL competence for dementia patients.
比较痴呆患者在新开发的日常生活工具性活动直接测试（IADLs）中的得分与在广泛接受的功能测量中的得分。
对27名社区居住的痴呆患者，将日常功能能力测试（TEFA）的得分与广泛使用的日常功能直接测试（独立生活量表；ILS）的得分进行比较。
简易精神状态检查表得分范围为5至28分（均值±标准差=20.7±6.37）。TEFA总分与ILS总分之间存在高度显著相关性（r(25)=0.892，p<0.001），许多可比子量表之间也存在高度显著相关性。
TEFA是痴呆患者IADL能力的有效测量方法。
