Nursing Perspectives on Fall Related Concern in Community Dwelling Older Adults – Psychometric Study of the Fes-International

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Fear of falling is prevalent mainly among older adults and associated with adverse health outcomes. In nursing, is one of the aetiologies of the risk of falling, risk for frailty and frailty nursing diagnoses. In the context of clinical practice, nurses must systematically assess fear of falling. The FES-In-ternational, an instrument developed to measure concern about falls, has not been tested in Czech active, community dwelling older adults. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate selected psychometric properties of Czech version of the FES-International. Sample and methodology: A psychometric study. Convenience sample of 281 community dwelling, active older adults living in north-eastern region of Czech Republic. A two-part instrument was used (sociodemographic, health profile, fall history and the FES-CZ. Construct validity (factorial analysis), known group validity and the reliability were evaluated. Previous authorization was obtained from the Ethic Committee and from older adults involved in a study. Results: Czech version of the FES -I (translated by Reguli, Svobodova, 2011) had excellent internal consistency (0.93). Factor analysis revealed two relevant factors related to FOF in more demanding physical activities, and less demanding social and physical activities which explained variance of 65.2%. A significantly higher score of fall related concern was associated with higher age, adverse health, and fall history. Females did not score significantly higher than men, with exception of women without fall history, they scored significantly higher than their male counterparts. Conclusion: The validity and reliability study of the Czech version of the FES-International revealed that this scale is an adequate tool for evaluation of fear of falling in community dwelling older adults.
