“…physical disability, apathy, and communication failure) were found to differentiate between three groups of psychiatric state hospital patients: those who would, within a year, leave the hospital, those who would remain in the hospital, and those who would die (Meer & Baker 1966). The criterion variable was, however, defined as leaving the hospital for any reason or any length of time and did not imply ability to function in the community.…”

The State of Oregon is using the Placement Information Base, PIB, as part of an assessment process to determine the type of placement needed by Medicaid clients. While used for functional assessment, PIB has not been empirically studied for its use as a screening or predictive instrument to differentiate between the need for nursing home care and community care.This dissertation addresses the question of whether PIB is suitable for use as a screening instrument for nursing home placement

“…It is made up of 33 items, each to receive a 3-dcgree answer. Several factorial analyses performed on various samples of hospitalized aged subjects (Meer and Baker, 1966;Pichot et at., 1970) have shown that these 33 items can be divided into 4 groups, each of them enabling quantification of the following factors; physical disability (PD), apathy (AP), communication failure (CF) and socially irritating behaviour (SIB). The higher the score, the more abnormal the behaviour of the subject.…”

The aim of this study was to assess whether spontaneous interindividual variations in arousal level appreciated by telemetric recordings of physiological variables were related to mental performance and functional ability in institutionalized aged subjects. The sample studied was made up of 18 subjects (16 women and 2 men) aged 82–97, living in an old age home in Paris. Telemetric recordings of EEG, EKG, EMG and EOG were obtained over 8-hour periods, during the subjects’ normal daily activity schedule. The Stockton Geriatric Rating Scale (SGRS), Benton’s Visual Retention Test (VRT) and the Trail Making Test (TMT) were independently used to assess behaviour and mental performance of these aged persons. All correlations between telemetric data and psychological evaluations (the psychometric tests as well as the rating scale) were highly significant, even once the influence of the cultural level was controlled.

“…Many ADL scales have been proposed [Mahoney and Barthel, (1965) ;Katz, et al, (1963); Katz, et al, (1970)] and have been used to measure survival ability of impaired elderly as well as to measure functional recovery in rehabilitation [Barer and Nouri, (1989)]. Other trends include studies on the development of scales of extended ADL to measure basic ability of living activities adjusted to various life environments by adding the scale of instrumental independence ability (instrumental ADL) [Meer and Baker, (1966)] to the conventional scales of ADL. [Asberg and Sonn, (1988) ;Fillenbaum, (1985); Kempen and Suurmeijer, (1990); Sonn and Asberg, (1991) ;Spector, et al, (1987)].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of constructing a new test by analyzing the item characteristic of motor function and physical independence ADL tests based on the item response theory (IRT). Subjects were 137 males and 198 females, aged over 65 years old. The average of age was 69.2±5.4 years old (male 70.4±5.5, female 68.7 ±5.2). The physical independence and the motor function ADL test were consisted of 15 items with 2 options. Unidimesionality of physical independence and motor function ADL tests were satisfi ed for item characteristic analysis. Item diffi culty and item discrimination were calculated by using two-parameter logistic model. Item characteristic curves, item information functions, test characteristic curves, and test information functions were obtained from the item diffi culty and the item discrimination. In the new test, 70% of the whole subjects were able to achieve 80% or more based on the item characteristic. The item diffi culty, the item discrimination, and the amount of item information of each item were confi rmed. Eighty % of the whole subjects were able to achieve 80% or more in physical independence ADL test. Fifty % of the whole subjects were able to achieve 80% or more in motor function ADL test. It was concluded that the new test satisfi ed target test characteristics could be composed from previous test items applying IRT techniques.
