Abstract(s)
A capacidade funcional é essencial para a manutenção da independência e qualidade de vida durante o processo de envelhecimento. Uma das formas de testar a capacidade funcional é através de instrumentos de autopreenchimento. A maioria destes instrumentos focam as atividades básicas e/ou instrumentais, sendo sobretudo aplicáveis em contextos hospitalares e de ambulatórios. A “Composite Physical Function Scale” (CPF), foi desenvolvida com a finalidade de avaliar a capacidade funcional da pessoa idosa a viver em comunidade, considerando, para além das atividades mencionadas, as atividades avançadas da vida diária, numa única escala. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a adaptação cultural para a língua portuguesa europeia e testar a sua validade convergente. A adaptação cultural incluiu a tradução, retroversão e harmonização do instrumento. A versão gerada foi aplicada num estudo piloto com 16 participantes. A versão em português europeu do CPF foi considerada de boa compreensibilidade, de fácil preenchimento e apropriado culturalmente. A validade convergente foi testada numa amostra de 114 participantes correlacionando a pontuação do CPF com as pontuações da dimensão “função física” do SF36. A correlação entre o CPF e a dimensão “função física” do SF36 foi igual a rho: 0,71, classificada como muito bom. Verifica-se desde modo, que o CPF tem uma boa validade convergente.
Functional ability is essential for maintaining independence and quality of life throughout life. This ability maybe tested using self-report measures. Most of these instruments focus on basic and / or instrumental activities being, therefore, mainly applicable in hospitals and outpatient care settings. The “Composite Physical Function Scale” (CPF) was developed with the purpose of evaluating the functional ability of community-dwelling older adults. In addition to the activities mentioned, CPF considers advanced activities of daily life, combined in a single scale. This work aimed to culturally adapt this instrument to the European Portuguese language and test your convergent validity. The cultural adaptation included the translation, back-translation and harmonization of the instrument. The final version was applied in a pilot study with 16 participants. The European Portuguese version of the CPF was considered to be understandable, easy to fill out and culturally appropriate. Convergent validity was tested on a sample of 114 participants correlating the CPF score with the SF36 physical funtion score. The correlation between the CPF and the physical function score of the SF36 was rho= 0.71, classified as strong correlation. It was verified that the CPF has a good convergent validity.
