“…To examine the construct validity of TFI, the following measures of physical, psychological and social frailty components were used: body mass index (BMI), TUG, 31 handgrip strength, center of pressure (COP) sway analysis, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), 38,39 Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), 40 Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI) 41,42 and Social Support Satisfaction Scale (SSSS). 43 To study the criterion validity, frailty was also identified through alternative frailty specific measures: the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) and an operationalization of the frailty phenotype. 44,45 Adverse outcomes (disability and healthcare utilization) and quality of life were equally assessed for the same purpose.…”

Aim: To present the translation and validation process of the Portuguese version of the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI). Methods:A cross-sectional study was designed using a non-probability sample of 252 community-dwelling older adults. Preliminary studies were carried out for face and content validity assessment. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct (convergent/divergent) and criterion validity were subsequently analyzed. Results:The sample was mainly women (75.8%), with a mean age of 79.2 ± 7.3 years. TFI internal consistency was good (KR-20 = 0.78). Test-retest reliability for the total was also good (r = 0.91), with kappa coefficients showing substantial agreement for most items. TFI physical and social domains correlated as expected with concurrent measures, whereas the TFI psychological domain showed similar correlations with other psychological and physical measures. The TFI showed a good to excellent discrimination ability in regard to frailty criteria, and fair to good ability to predict adverse outcomes. Conclusions:The psychometric properties of the TFI seem to be consistently good. These findings provide initial evidence that the Portuguese version is a valid and reliable measure for assessing frailty in the elderly.

Results underscore the importance of perceived parental dependency in offspring's caregivers. Findings support the multidimensional issues associated to burden in this specific population, stressing satisfaction with social support as an important mediator between distress/PTSD and burden. Implications for further research as well as limitations of the present study are discussed. Psychosocial interventions should focus on caregivers' social resources to facilitate psychological well-being.

Background: Study older adults' quality of life is becoming increasingly important in the assessment, quality improvement and allocation of health and social care service. The purpose of this study was to enhance knowledge on the relationship between modifiable (psychological variables) and nonmodifiable variables (sociodemographic), and quality of life in elderly, in order to inform social, health and education policies.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, including 604 older adults from general community. 63.6% of the sample was composed by female gender with a mean age of 71.6(SD=4.81). Participants completed the following instruments: Barthel Index to assess functionality; Satisfaction with Social Support Scale to assess social support; The Spiritual and Religious Attitudes in Dealing with Illness to assess spirituality and Short Form Health Survey 36, to assess mental and physical quality of life. Results: A path analysis model was performed where the presence of a chronic disease, age and functionality has a direct effect on physical quality of life and spirituality had a direct effect on mental quality of life. Social support mediated the relationship between functionality and mental quality of life, and in turn, functionality mediated the relationship between age and physical quality of life. Conclusions: Results reinforce the effect of age and chronic disease as non-modifiable variables as well as functionality, spirituality and satisfaction with social support as modifiable variables, in the quality of life of older people. Social support, health and education programs in the community should be promoted in order to improve quality of life in this population. Strategies to promote functionality and enhance the social support network, especially in the elder with chronic illness, should be a priority.
