背景：本研究的目的是通过检验韩国版跌倒效能量表（FES）和活动特定平衡信心量表（ABC）的内部一致性和效度，评估其对韩国老年人的适用性。方法：对90名居住在某社区的韩国老年人进行问卷调查，问卷包括韩国版FES和ABC。由于从每个量表中获得的可比数据，对跌倒的恐惧和生活质量，日常生活活动都被包括在内。测试了并发效度、标准效度和相关效度。信度测试采用内部一致性、重测法。结果：FES的Cronbach’s alpha为0.9043，ABC的Cronbach’s alpha为0.99623。所有量表的重测相关系数均大于7.0。在两种量表之间发现了统计学上显著的关联。生活质量（SF-8）与ABC的相关系数为-0.142（p=0.049）。FES与ABC之间存在显著的相关关系。结论：韩国版的FES和ABC似乎是一种可靠和有效的方法来测量跌倒恐惧。这些工具在评估害怕跌倒的独立贡献时可能是有用的。ABC量表在检测高功能老年人平衡信心丧失方面可能更有用。
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the Korean version of Fall Efficacy scale(FES) and Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale(ABC) to Korean older adult through an examination of instrument's internal consistency and validity Method: A sample of 90 Korean older adults who lived in a community completed a survey instrument which included Korean version of FES and ABC. Because of comparable data derived from each scale, fear of falling and quality of life, activity daily living were included. Concurrent validity, criterion validity and correlational validity were tested. Reliability was tested by internal consistency, test-retest method. Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.9043 in FES, and 0.99623 in ABC. Test-retest correlations in all scales were higher than 7.0. Statistically significant association was found between fear of falling and both scales. Correlation coefficient between Quality of life(SF-8) and ABC was -0.142(p=0.049). Both FES and ABC are correlated significantly each other. Conclusions: The Korean version of FES and ABC appears to be a reliable and valid method for measuring fear of falling. These instruments may be useful in assessing the independent contribution of fear of falling. ABC scale may be more useful to detect loss of balance confidence in more highly functioning seniors.
