Abstract

Introduction: Various scales have been suggested for surveying of disability in the elderly. One of these tools is Disability Index for General Household Survey (DI-GHS).Objective: Evaluating the RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY of DI-GHS in older people residing in Kashan Golabchi nursing homeMaterials and Methods: The DI-GHS was translated from English to Persian through back & forward method. The sampling was performed using census method in Kashan Golabchi nursing home in 2006 (n=100). Inter-rater agreement was assessed. Internal consistency was determined via Item-total Correlation; Cronbach’s alpha and split-half. Validity was determined via Concurrent validity, exploratory factor analysis and Known-groups approach. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), Kappa, Equal – Length spearman-brown, Guttman, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Kruskal-wallis test and factor analysis via principal component analysis with varimax rotation by SPSS-16.Results: Interrater reliability coefficient for every item was excellent (Kappa>0.8); Inter-rater reliability in the total DI-GHS was reported to be 0.992 (ICC). The questionnaire reliability coefficient (internal consistency) was calculated 0.9-0.95. Item-total correlation confirmed its reliability, too. Its concurrent validity with original Barthel index was confirmed (r=-0.91, p<0.0001). The known groups approach revealed this tool is valid (p<0.0001). The factor analysis extracted two main factors whose Eigen values were more than one; and these factors could explain 85.8% of the total variance.Conclusion: The Persian DI-GHS could be valid and reliable for the evaluation of disability in elderly people residing in Golabchi nursing home.
