“…The agreement between the test and retest across items showed that five items had moderate agreement, seven items had substantial agreement and three items had almost perfect agreement, according to Landis and Koch (24) and Zou (25) , who indicated that an ICC in the range of 0·00-0·20 represents slight agreement; 0·21-0·40 represents fair agreement; 0·41-0·60 represents moderate agreement; 0·61-0·80 represents substantial agreement; and 0·81-1·00 represents almost perfect agreement. A rather similar agreement was obtained in a test-retest of the Norwegian version of the NUFFE using the weighted κ (13) .…”

“…The Swedish (10,11) , Norwegian (13) and Hungarian versions (14) of NUFFE have been tested in terms of their reliability and validity among older hospital patients, and the Norwegian version (15,16) has also been tested among older home-dwelling people. The results have shown sufficient evidence for the reliability and validity of these versions in order to be used as a screening instrument (10,11,(13)(14)(15)(16) . However, there is no Chinese version, so there is a need to translate NUFFE into Simplified Chinese and to test its reliability and validity, so as to obtain a convenient nutritional screening instrument.…”

Objective: The present study aimed to translate the English version of the Nutritional Form For the Elderly into Simplified Chinese, as well as to test the reliability (homogeneity and stability) and validity (content and construct validity) of the Chinese version of the Nutritional Form For the Elderly (NUFFE-CHI). Design: The study adopted a cross-sectional design. The English version of the NUFFE was translated into Simplified Chinese and a questionnaire survey was conducted. The data were analysed with statistical methods to estimate the homogeneity, stability, content and construct validity. Setting: Jinzhou City, China. Subjects: A total number of 701 community-dwelling older adults answered the questionnaire, including background variables and the NUFFE-CHI. A small group of the participants (n 50) completed the NUFFE-CHI twice for test-retest reliability. Results: Cronbach's α was 0·65 and the split-half reliability was 0·67. Item-to-total correlation analyses showed that the scale has sufficient internal consistency. The test-retest reliability regarding the total scores of NUFFE-CHI was reflected in an intra-class correlation coefficient of 0·88. The intra-class correlation coefficients between the test and retest of the NUFFE-CHI items varied between 0·43 and 0·98. A content validity index of 0·83 explained good content validity. Construct validity was demonstrated in an exploratory factor analysis with a six-factor solution, explaining 57·65 % of the variance. Conclusions: This first testing of the NUFFE-CHI indicates sufficient evidence for reliability, content and construct validity. Further testing studies regarding homogeneity, concurrent validity, sensitivity and specificity are required before the NUFFE-CHI can be used as a screening instrument in clinical settings and in research. Keywords Instrument testing Nutrition Older people Screening instrumentThe prevalence of older people who are undernourished or at risk of undernutrition is high; for example, the prevalence rate was 27 % among geriatric in-and out-patients in a French study (1) and 22 % among older home-dwelling people in a Swedish study (2) . However, among older community-dwelling Chinese people, the prevalence rate was found to be 44 % (3) , and it was as high as 76 % among very old (90 + years) Chinese community-dwelling people (4) . In other Chinese studies performed among hospitalised patients, the prevalence has been found to vary between 20 % and 40 % (5,6) .To be undernourished or at risk of undernutrition among older people is an extensive problem, since it is associated with several serious factors including morbidity, longer hospital stays, mortality, deteriorated functional ability (7) , mobility impairment (8) , cognitive dysfunction (4,7,8) , reduced well-being (7) and poor self-rated health (2,4) . Moreover, older people who are widowed (3) , living alone (2,9) and of advanced age (3,4,8) are especially vulnerable for being at risk for undernutrition.In order to find potential and existing nutritional problem...

“…Vi kjenner ikkje til i kor stor grad NUFFE er brukt her til lands utover prosjektet i USHT og studiane som er presentert for å utvikle kartleggingsverktøyet. For Söderhamn (2006;Söderhamn et al, 2009) som utarbeida NUFFE som si doktoravhandling i Sverige i 2006, var det sentralt å omgå utfordringane som knyter seg til den aldrande kroppen. NUFFE manglar difor kroppsmål til forskjell frå MNA og Ernaeringsjournal.…”

Hensikta med artikkelen er å synleggjere korleis internasjonal forsking verkar inn på norsk kartleggingspraksis av heimebuande eldre pasientar med kartleggingsverktøya Ernaeringsjournal, MNA og NUFFE. Det skjer ei gradvis nasjonal tilpassing ved val av kartleggingsverktøy i forhold til internasjonal kunnskap.ABSTRACT The Norwegian Directorate of Health recommends that patients with community nursing must be assessed for nutritional risk once a month in National Professional Guidelines for preventing and treating undernutrition. The purpose of this paper is to highlight how international science interacts on screening practice of older patients in home care settings in Norway with Ernaeringsjournal, MNA and NUFFE. National transformations occur related to international knowledge when choosing a screening-tool.NØKKELORD Eldre | ernaeringsstatus | heimesjukepleie | kartleggingsverktøy
