在以前的研究中，与实施虐待老人相关的理论和方法问题是多方面的。QUALCARE量表是针对记录在案的问题而制定的。该量表是一种观察性评级量表，旨在量化家庭在身体、医疗管理、社会心理、环境、人权和财务六个方面对居家老年人的照顾质量。该量表是李克特类型格式的53项量表。QUALCARE量表是由专业护士在对护理者在六个维度中满足老年人需求的程度进行护理评估后完成的。护理评估包括观察和口头数据收集。本文讨论了量表的发展以及与量表发展相关的方法论问题。
In previous research, the theoretical and methodological problems associated with operationalizing elder abuse have been multiple. The QUALCARE Scale was developed in response to the documented problems. The scale is an observational rating scale designed to quantify the quality of family caregiving to home-dwelling elders in six areas: physical, medical management, psychosocial, environmental, human rights and financial. The scale is a 53 item scale in a Likert type format. The QUALCARE Scale is completed by professional nurses after a nursing assessment of the degree to which the caregiver meets the needs of the elder in the six dimensions. The nursing assessment involves both observations and verbal data gathering. In this paper, the development of the scale and the methodological issues associated with scale development are discussed.
