To evaluate interventions designed to improve the quality of life of people with dementia (PWD), there is a need for psychometrically validated instruments. We tested the psychometric properties of the ICEpop CAPability measure for Older people (ICECAP-O) as a self-report measure of quality of life with PWD. We used data from a randomized controlled trial of Tai Chi with 83 community-dwelling older people with mild and moderate dementia. The ICECAP-O was found to be valid with correlations in the expected directions for fear of falls (r=-0.36, P=0.001) and age (r=0.12, P=0.29), sensitive to change (mean difference=0.051, P=0.04, d=0.51), and have an adequate factorial structure. The ICECAP-O is a valid, generic measure of quality of life for use with PWD without a proxy.
为了评估旨在提高痴呆症患者(PWD)生活质量的干预措施,需要使用经过心理计量学验证的工具。我们测试了 ICEpop 老年人能力测量表(ICECAP-O)作为 PWD 生活质量自评量表的心理计量学特性。我们使用了一项太极拳随机对照试验的数据,该试验纳入了 83 名居住在社区的轻度和中度痴呆老年人。研究发现,ICECAP-O 具有有效性,与跌倒恐惧(r=-0.36,P=0.001)和年龄(r=0.12,P=0.29)呈预期方向相关,对变化敏感(平均差异=0.051,P=0.04,d=0.51),并且具有足够的因子结构。ICECAP-O 是一种有效的、通用的 PWD 生活质量测量工具,无需代理。
