Abstract

Background: The Powered Mobility Device Autonomy Residential Screen (PoMoDARS) is a new tool to enable clinicians to screen resident capacity and performance skills for powered mobility device (PMD) use in residential aged care settings. The PoMoDARS is context specific, time efficient and promotes resident autonomy and safety.

Aims: To (i) undertake initial face and content validation of the PoMoDARS, and (ii) use the research findings to make any modifications.

Methods: A mixed-methods study design, underpinned by Classical Test Theory. Eight clinicians completed 20 PoMoDARS screens and provided both quantitative and qualitative feedback on item importance and ease of use within a formal interview.

Results: Initial face and content validity of the PoMoDARS were supported, with small modifications made to item descriptors and instructions.

Conclusions: The PoMoDARS has been developed for use in residential aged care settings to screen resident PMD use. While initial validation has been undertaken, further studies to determine the reliability of the tool and continue the validation process are required.

Significance: Older adults in residential aged care facilities benefit greatly from the autonomy gained through PMD use. The PoMoDARS promotes collaboration between occupational therapists, nurses, and the wider team to support residents and safe PMD use.

电动移动设备自主住宅屏幕(PoMoDARS)的初步验证。

背景:动力移动设备自主住宅屏幕(PoMoDARS)是一种新工具，使临床医生能够筛选居民的能力和性能技能，在住宅老年护理环境中使用动力移动设备(PMD)。PoMoDARS具有特定的环境、时间效率和促进居民的自主性和安全性。目的:(i)对PoMoDARS进行初始的人脸和内容验证，以及(ii)使用研究结果进行任何修改。方法:以经典测试理论为基础的混合方法研究设计。8名临床医生完成了20项PoMoDARS筛选，并在正式访谈中就项目的重要性和易用性提供了定量和定性反馈。结果:PoMoDARS的初始面孔效度和内容效度得到支持，对项目描述符和说明进行了少量修改。结论:PoMoDARS已开发用于住宅老年护理机构筛选居民PMD使用。虽然已经进行了初步验证，但需要进一步研究以确定工具的可靠性并继续验证过程。意义:居住在老年护理机构的老年人通过使用PMD获得的自主性受益匪浅。PoMoDARS促进了职业治疗师、护士和更广泛的团队之间的合作，以支持住院医生和PMD的安全使用。
