This study tested the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the MotionWatch 8 among assisted living residents with and without cognitive impairment. Data from the Dissemination and Implementation of Function Focused Care in Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle study were used. The sample included 781 individuals from 85 facilities with a mean age of 89.48 (SD = 7.43) years. The majority were female (71%), White (97%), and overall (44%) had cognitive impairment. A total of 70% were willing to wear the MotionWatch 8. Reliability was supported as there was no difference in time spent in activity across three consecutive wear days. Validity was based on hypothesis testing, and function was associated with counts of activity at baseline (p = .001) and 4 months (p = .001). Those with cognitive impairment engaged in less physical activity (p = .04). The MotionWatch 8 is a useful option for measuring physical activity in older adults with and without cognitive impairment.
本研究旨在测试 MotionWatch 8 在认知障碍和非认知障碍的辅助生活居民中的可行性、可靠性和有效性。研究数据来自使用证据整合三角在辅助生活中推广和实施功能焦点护理的研究。样本包括来自 85 个设施的 781 名参与者,平均年龄为 89.48 岁(标准差=7.43 岁)。大多数参与者为女性(71%),白人(97%),总体上(44%)有认知障碍。共有 70%的参与者愿意佩戴 MotionWatch 8。该设备的可靠性得到了支持,因为在连续佩戴三天期间,参与者的活动时间没有差异。有效性基于假设检验,功能与基线时(p=.001)和 4 个月时(p=.001)的活动计数相关。有认知障碍的参与者的身体活动较少(p=.04)。MotionWatch 8 是一种测量认知障碍和非认知障碍老年人身体活动的有用选择。
