Abstract
The Japanese cultural adaptation of the Australian Environmental Assessment Tool-Higher Care (J-EAT) was developed for use in Japan’s small-scale living facilities. This study aimed to validate the J-EAT. Twenty-five dementia care experts (7 gerontologists and 18 facility care workers) participated in assessing J-EAT content validity. The final version of J-EAT contained 81 items; of those, 74 met the CVI threshold for relevance. The findings indicated different perspectives between the two expert groups. Validation of the J-EAT was confirmed as an appropriate tool for Japan’s small-scale living facilities to evaluate the environment to enhance residents’ quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
