An instrument to assess perceived quality of life of physically frail elderly persons is needed in nursing home research. Four existing instruments (Pain, Somatic Autonomy, Life Satisfaction, Social Isolation) and two new scales (Perceived Safety, Perceived Autonomy) were tested for internal consistency, validity of the dimensional structure, discriminatory power, and feasibility. The scales were administered to 243 physically frail elderly nursing home patients. Three of the existing scales were shown to have sufficient internal consistency (KR-20 > .70), and the two new scales were moderately consistent (KR-20 > .50). The expected dimensions were confirmed in general by principal component analysis of the items. Significant group differences were detected by means of scale means. The mean administration time was 20 minutes. It is concluded that feasible instrument has been developed that can be applied in future research in nursing homes.
养老院研究需要一种工具来评估身体虚弱老年人的生活质量感知。对四种现有工具（疼痛、躯体自主、生活满意度、社会隔离）和两种新量表（感知安全、感知自主）进行了内部一致性、维度结构有效性、区分能力和可行性测试。这些量表被应用于243名身体虚弱的老年养老院患者。结果显示，三种现有量表具有足够的内部一致性（KR-20>.70），两种新量表具有中等一致性（KR-20>.50）。通过对项目进行主成分分析，总体上证实了预期维度。通过量表均值检测到显著的组间差异。平均施测时间为20分钟。结论是，已开发出一种可行的工具，可应用于未来养老院的研究。
