BACKGROUND
The PAL is a career-completed assessment that indexes cognitive functional ability to inform individualised support. As hearing and vision loss are prevalent, we assessed the PAL for potential bias with hearing or vision impairment.
METHODS
We collected PAL responses for 333 adults aged over 60 years in the UK, France, Canada, Greece and Cyprus. All participants had normal cognition based on self-reported status and normal range scores on a cognitive screening test. Using a Kruskal-Wallis test, we compared PAL item response distributions for people with assessed hearing or vision loss compared to those with normal sensory function.
RESULTS
There were no differences in response distributions between hearing or vision impaired groups versus those with normal sensory function on any PAL item.
CONCLUSION
The PAL reliably indexes cognitive functional ability and may be used to inform support tailored to individual cognitive level amongst older adults with prevalent hearing and vision impairments.
背景
PAL 是一种职业完成评估，它通过索引认知功能能力为个性化支持提供信息。由于听力和视力损失较为普遍，我们评估了 PAL 可能存在的听力或视力障碍偏差。
方法
我们在英国、法国、加拿大、希腊和塞浦路斯收集了 333 名 60 岁以上成年人的 PAL 反应。所有参与者根据自我报告的状态和认知筛查测试的正常范围分数，认知正常。使用 Kruskal-Wallis 检验，我们比较了有评估的听力或视力损失的人与有正常感觉功能的人在 PAL 项目上的反应分布。
结果
在任何 PAL 项目上，听力或视力受损组与感觉功能正常组的反应分布没有差异。
结论
PAL 可靠地索引认知功能能力，可用于为有普遍听力和视力障碍的老年人提供个性化认知水平的支持。
