Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Function-Focused Care Checklist for Caregivers using Rasch analysis.
Design: This was a descriptive study using data from the study "Testing the Dissemination and Implementation of Function-Focused Care for Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle." The study was approved by a university institutional review board.
Methods: A Rasch analysis was completed, which included 691 staff-resident observations from 85 assisted living facilities.
Findings: There was evidence of internal consistency (alpha coefficient of .93), construct validity except for a high OUTFIT statistic for wheelchair mobility, and hypothesis testing based on an increase in performance of function-focused care by caregivers over 12 months.
Conclusions: The findings provided psychometric support for the measure and guidance for revisions.
Clinical relevance: This measure can be used clinically to teach caregivers to provide function-focused care to residents in assisted living.
