Adjustment and Reliability of Katz Daily Life Activity Measures for Elderly in Turkish

Öz

Objectives: Aging; refers to a process in which the physiological reserve capacities gradually decrease and become worn out after the maturation process of the creature has been completed, and accordingly the function of life is interrupted. Aging is the process of restricting function and competence in a way that is irreversible. In 1963, the Daily Living Activities (DLA) Index was developed by Katz et al. In order to be used in the treatment and prognosis assessment in chronic diseases and in the elderly. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Katz Daily Activities Scale.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in Eskisehir Osmangazi University Clinical Practice and Research Hospital Family Medicine and General Internal Polyclinics. A total of 173 elderly patients were included in the study. It has been taken into consideration that; the sample size should be at least 5-10 times the number of questions in the scale. Elderly patients were asked to answer the Turkish version of the questionnaire and were asked to report if they encounter confusing expressions.

Results: A total of 173 elderly patients were included in the study, 63.00% of them were female, 37.00% were male (109 female, 64 male). The average age was 74.17 ± 6.71. (Mean age of women were 74.73 ± 7.04, mean age of men were 73.21 ± 6.05). The mean Katz score for all elderly patients included in the study was calculated as 5.14 ± 1.50. Of the elderly patients, 60.00% were completely independent and 8.70% had severe dysfunction. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of scale was 0.83, indicating that the scale was reliable.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the Turkish reliability of the Katz Daily Life Activities Scale. With this study, we believe that the Katz Index can be used in the evaluation of dysfunctions of the elderly.be used in the evaluation of dysfunctions of the elderly.
