Abstract

Our aim was to assess the psychometric properties and reliability of a Polish version of the VASS. This cross-sectional validation study involved 228 patients above 65 years of age. Authors-Designed Questionnaire, the Geriatric Depression Scale, and the Activities of Daily Living Scale were used to assess construct validity. Psychometric properties, reliability and repeatability were assessed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the VASS scale was 0.89. Almost all items showed a high correlation value in relation to the others (R > 0.45). A high coefficient of repeatability and narrow limits of agreement were observed in the Bland-Altman analysis. All items analyzed had excellent intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC>0.9) and weighted kappa (κ > 0.9) scores. Very strong, significant correlations with other tools confirm the accuracy of the VASS scale. Our research shows promising validity and reliability Polish version of the VASS scale to assess the risk of elder abuse and neglect.

滥用脆弱性筛选量表(VASS)改进版的信度和效度。

我们的目的是评估波兰版VASS的心理测量特性和可靠性。这项横断面验证研究涉及228例65岁以上的患者。采用作者设计的问卷、老年抑郁量表和日常生活活动量表来评估结构效度。评估心理测量特性、信度和可重复性。VASS量表的Cronbach's alpha系数为0.89。几乎所有项目均与其他项目呈高度相关值(R > 0.45)。在Bland-Altman分析中观察到较高的重复性系数和狭窄的一致性限制。所有分析项目均具有优异的类内相关系数(ICC>0.9)和加权kappa评分(κ >0.9)。与其他工具非常强的、显著的相关性证实了VASS量表的准确性。我们的研究表明波兰版本的VASS量表评估虐待和忽视老年人的风险具有良好的有效性和可靠性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect is the peer-reviewed quarterly journal that explores the advances in research, policy and practice, and clinical and ethical issues surrounding the abuse and neglect of older people. This unique forum provides state-of-the-art research and practice that is both international and multidisciplinary in scope. The journal"s broad, comprehensive approach is only one of its strengths—it presents training issues, research findings, case studies, practice and policy issues, book and media reviews, commentary, and historical background on a wide range of topics. Readers get tools and techniques needed for better detecting and responding to actual or potential elder abuse and neglect.
