Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe the psychometric properties of cultural adaptations of the Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) in the elderly dwelling in the community. A systematic literature review was performed according to the research question: What are the psychometric properties of the FES-I in the elderly dwelling in the community in different cultural backgrounds? The Population, Interest, Context (PICo) strategy was used for inclusion criteria—Population: elderly; Interest area/intervention: psychometric properties of the FES-I; Context: dwelling in the community in various cultural settings. The sample was made up of 10 articles. Metric properties have been evaluated by the criteria of validity, reproducibility, reliability, and responsiveness. The FES-I is considered acceptable, understandable to measure the fear of falling in the elderly, valid, reliable, and comparable cross-culturally, so it is recommended in rehabilitation research, clinical trials, clinical practice, and in fall-prevention programs in elderly.

国际老年人跌倒疗效量表的跨文化验证：系统文献综述

本研究的目的是描述国际瀑布疗效量表（FES-I）在社区老年人中文化适应的心理测量特性。根据以下研究问题进行了系统的文献综述：在不同文化背景下，社区老年人的FES-I的心理测量特性是什么？纳入标准采用人口、兴趣、情境（PICo）策略——人口：老年人；兴趣领域/干预：FES-I的心理测量特性；背景：居住在各种文化环境中的社区中。样品由10篇文章组成。度量特性已通过有效性、再现性、可靠性和响应性标准进行评估。FES-I被认为是可接受的，可以理解的，可以测量老年人对跌倒的恐惧，有效、可靠，具有跨文化可比性，因此建议在康复研究、临床试验、临床实践和老年人跌倒预防计划中使用。
