Being able to identify socially frail older adults is essential for designing interventions and policy and for the prediction of health outcomes, both on the level of individual older adults and of the population. The aim of the present study was to adapt the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to the Dutch language and culture for those purposes. A systematic cross-cultural adaptation of the initial Social Vulnerability Index was performed following five steps: initial translation, synthesis of translations, back translation, a Delphi procedure, and a test for face validity and feasibility. The main result of this study is a face-valid 32 item Dutch version of the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI-D) that is feasible in health care and social care settings. The SVI-D is a useful index to measure social frailty in Dutch-language countries and offers a broad, holistic quantification of older people's social circumstances related to the risk of adverse health outcomes.
能够识别社会脆弱的老年人对于设计干预措施和政策以及预测个体老年人和总体人群的健康结果至关重要。本研究的目的是为实现这些目的，将社会脆弱性指数（SVI）改编为适合荷兰语言和文化的版本。按照五个步骤对初始社会脆弱性指数进行了系统的跨文化改编：初始翻译、翻译综合、回译、德尔菲程序以及表面效度和可行性测试。本研究的主要成果是一个具有表面效度的32项荷兰语版社会脆弱性指数（SVI-D），该指数在医疗保健和社会护理环境中可行。SVI-D是衡量荷兰语国家社会脆弱性的有用指数，它对与不良健康结果风险相关的老年人社会状况进行了广泛、全面的量化。
