The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale is the most widely used scale for the assessment of IADL in the elderly population. The aim of this study was to adapt the Lawton IADL Scale in Turkish and to investigate the validity and the reliability of the scale in older adults.
A total of 80 participants with a mean age of 71.6±5.8 years were included in the study. The independent living skills of the older adults were measured using Lawton IADL, Hodkinson Mental Test, Functional Independence Scale, Barthel Index, Katz Index, and visual analog scale. Lawton IADL was translated into Turkish, validated by professional reviewers, translated back into English, and then tested. Cronbach's alpha was used to measure reliability in a group of 34 participants and test-retest was performed 1 week after the first test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to show the relationship between Lawton IADL and other scales and indexes.
Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) value was 0.843 for the whole scale. The intraclass correlation coefficient value of the scale was 0.915.
These results confirm that the Turkish version of the Lawton IADL scale has excellent reliability and validity.
劳顿日常生活活动能力量表（IADL）是老年人群中评估IADL最广泛使用的量表。本研究的目的是将劳顿IADL量表改编为土耳其语版本，并调查该量表在老年人中的有效性和可靠性。
本研究共纳入80名平均年龄为71.6±5.8岁的参与者。使用劳顿IADL量表、霍金森心理测试、功能独立性量表、巴氏指数、卡茨指数和视觉模拟量表来测量老年人的独立生活技能。劳顿IADL量表被翻译成土耳其语，经专业评审人员验证后再翻译回英语，然后进行测试。使用克朗巴哈系数来测量34名参与者组成的一组中的可靠性，并在第一次测试后1周进行重测。使用皮尔逊相关分析来显示劳顿IADL量表与其他量表和指标之间的关系。
整个量表的内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数）值为0.843。该量表的组内相关系数值为0.915。
这些结果证实，劳顿IADL量表的土耳其语版本具有出色的可靠性和有效性。
