Mobility is one of the most important contributors to healthy aging and is traditionally measured through performance-based tests. Measuring life-space mobility is a holistic way to measure the spaces individuals visited over a period of time versus what they are physically able to do. However, before a measure of life-space mobility can be widely used in research and clinical settings, it must have robust psychometric properties. The objective of this review is to summarize the psychometric properties of existing life-space mobility measures in community-dwelling older adults.
The construct is life-space mobility and the instruments are: The Nursing Home Life Space Diameter, the Life-Space Questionnaire, and the Life-Space Assessment. The population is community-dwelling older adults (age > 65). The outcome of the review includes all psychometric properties (reliability, validity, responsiveness) as well as feasibility and interpretability data.
Following the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) and JBI guidelines, a search strategy will be piloted and then translated to multiple databases. Two independent reviewers will conduct title/abstract screening, full-text screening, data extraction, and assess the methodological quality of the studies. A narrative synthesis will be compiled for all collected data. A meta-analysis will be conducted for each psychometric property if there are enough studies with sufficiently low heterogeneity.

行动能力是健康老龄化的最重要贡献因素之一,传统上通过基于表现的测试进行测量。衡量生活空间移动能力是一种全面的方法,可以衡量个人在一段时间内访问的空间与他们实际能够做的事情。然而,在生活空间移动能力的衡量标准能够广泛应用于研究和临床环境之前,它必须具有可靠的心理测量学特性。本综述的目的是总结社区居住的老年人中现有的生活空间移动能力衡量标准的心理测量学特性。
结构是生活空间移动能力,工具是:养老院生活空间直径、生活空间问卷和生活空间评估。人群是社区居住的老年人(年龄>65 岁)。综述的结果包括所有心理测量学特性(可靠性、有效性、反应性)以及可行性和可解释性数据。
根据共识基础的健康测量工具选择标准(COSMIN)和 JBI 指南,将对搜索策略进行试点,然后将其翻译成多个数据库。两名独立的审查员将进行标题/摘要筛选、全文筛选、数据提取,并评估研究的方法学质量。将对所有收集的数据进行叙述性综合。如果有足够数量的异质性较低的研究,将对每项心理测量学特性进行荟萃分析。
