本研究在跨文化样本中检验了扩展版海藻游走量表(版本 2)(AWS-V2)的心理测量特性。使用了横断面调查设计。研究对象是来自美国、加拿大和澳大利亚长期护理机构的 172 名说英语的痴呆症患者 (PWD)。两名或两名以上设施工作人员在 AWS-V2 上对每个主题进行评分。还获得了人口统计和认知数据(MMSE)。工作人员提供了有关他们自己对该主题和痴呆症的了解的信息。对来自两个评估者样本的数据进行单独因素分析,每个样本都解释了 AWS-V2 分数中超过 66% 的方差,并验证了原始量表中五个因素中的四个(持续行走、导航缺陷、私奔行为和尾随)。创建AWS-V2时添加的项目加强了影子量表,未能改善常规步行量表,并且与原始AWS相比增加了一个因素,即注意力转移。 AWS-V2 与大多数带有单项游走指标的子量表以及 MMSE 之间的显着相关性和方差分析中发现了有效性的证据。 AWS-V2(0.87、0.88)及其子量表(范围 0.88 至 0.66)的内部一致性证明了可靠性的证据,单个项目的 Kappa(27 个项目中有 17 个大于 0.4),以及比较评估者组(护士、护士助理和其他工作人员)评级的方差分析。分析支持 AWS-V2 整体以及持续行走、空间定向障碍和私奔行为子量表的有效性和可靠性。 AWS-V2 及其子量表是测量英语受试者研究中需求驱动的痴呆受损行为模型中概念化的徘徊的合适方法。描述了进一步加强量表并将其用途扩展到临床应用的建议。
This study examined the psychometric properties of an expanded version of the Algase Wandering Scale (Version 2) (AWS-V2) in a cross-cultural sample. A cross-sectional survey design was used. Study subjects were 172 English-speaking persons with dementia (PWD) from long-term care facilities in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Two or more facility staff rated each subject on the AWS-V2. Demographic and cognitive data (MMSE) were also obtained. Staff provided information on their own knowledge of the subject and of dementia. Separate factor analyses on data from two samples of raters each explained greater than 66% of the variance in AWS-V2 scores and validated four (persistent walking, navigational deficit, eloping behavior, and shadowing) of five factors in the original scale. Items added to create the AWS-V2 strengthened the shadowing subscale, failed to improve the routinized walking subscale, and added a factor, attention shifting as compared to the original AWS. Evidence for validity was found in significant correlations and ANOVAs between the AWS-V2 and most subscales with a single item indicator of wandering and with the MMSE. Evidence of reliability was shown by internal consistency of the AWS-V2 (0.87, 0.88) and its subscales (range 0.88 to 0.66), with Kappa for individual items (17 of 27 greater than 0.4), and ANOVAs comparing ratings across rater groups (nurses, nurse aids, and other staff). Analyses support validity and reliability of the AWS-V2 overall and for persistent walking, spatial disorientation, and eloping behavior subscales. The AWS-V2 and its subscales are an appropriate way to measure wandering as conceptualized within the Need-driven Dementia-compromised Behavior Model in studies of English-speaking subjects. Suggestions for further strengthening the scale and for extending its use to clinical applications are described.
