The Revised Observed Tasks of Daily Living (OTDL-R), a performance-based test of everyday problem solving, was administered to a sample of community-dwelling older adults. The OTDL-R included nine tasks, representing medication use, telephone use, and financial management. The OTDL-R had a desirable range of difficulty and satisfactory internal consistency and showed a relatively invariant pattern of relations between measured tasks and the underlying latent dimensions they represent across White and non-White subsamples. The OTDL-R also correlated significantly with age, education, self-rated health, a paper-and-pencil measure of everyday problem solving, and measures of basic cognitive functioning. Thus, the OTDL-R is a reliable and valid objective measure of everyday problem solving that has great practical utility for assessing performance in diverse populations.
修订版日常生活观察任务(OTDL-R)是一项基于表现的日常问题解决能力测试,对一组社区居住的老年人进行了测试。OTDL-R包括九项任务,分别代表药物使用、电话使用和财务管理。OTDL-R具有理想的难度范围和令人满意的内部一致性,并且在白人及非白人子样本中,所测量的任务与其所代表的潜在维度之间呈现出相对不变的关系模式。OTDL-R还与年龄、教育程度、自评健康状况、一项纸笔形式的日常问题解决能力测试以及基本认知功能测量结果显著相关。因此,OTDL-R是一种可靠且有效的日常问题解决能力客观测量方法,在评估不同人群的表现方面具有很大的实用价值。
