Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of this new measure, called the caregivers' fear of falling index (CFFI).

Methods: The study surveyed home-based rehabilitation patients with fall-related fracture, and their primary caregivers. The characteristics of these patients were evaluated, and the caregivers were surveyed using the CFFI and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). The reliability of the CFFI was assessed using item-total correlation, while the validity of the CFFI was evaluated through correlation coefficients calculated between the CFFI and the FES-I.

Results: The participants were 51 patient-caregiver pairs. The internal consistency of the CFFI showed an alpha coefficient of 0.904. No items were excluded in the corrected item-total correlations. The CFFI showed a moderate correlation with FES-I (r=0.432, p=0.002).

Conclusion: This study found the CFFI to be a reliable and valid tool for measuring the primary caregivers' fear. The CFFI may be a useful tool for healthcare professionals to identify and supporting these primary caregivers.

护理者对跌倒相关骨折居家康复患者跌倒恐惧指数的信度与效度

目的:评价护理人员害怕跌倒指数(CFFI)的信度和效度。方法:对居家康复的跌倒相关骨折患者及其主要照顾者进行调查。对这些患者的特征进行评估，并使用CFFI和国际跌倒疗效量表(FES-I)对护理人员进行调查。CFFI的信度采用项目-总相关评估，而CFFI的效度通过计算CFFI与FES-I之间的相关系数来评估。结果:参与者为51对患者-护理者。CFFI的内部一致性alpha系数为0.904。在校正后的项目-总量相关性中没有项目被排除。CFFI与FES-I呈中度相关(r=0.432, p=0.002)。结论:本研究发现CFFI是一种可靠有效的测量主要照顾者恐惧的工具。CFFI可能是医疗保健专业人员识别和支持这些主要照顾者的有用工具。
