Abstract

The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) is a tool that aids practitioners in assessing the functional status among older persons. The study aim to adapt the IADL for Philippine use, and determine its psychometric validity when used among Filipino older persons. The study utilized cross sectional design to validate the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) for Filipino older persons. Seventeen (17) older persons were recruited from the Senior Citizen Registry of San Francisco Del Monte Quezon City, The original version of IADL was translated to Filipino by certified translator and back translated to English. The final version was pre-tested by cognitively intact older persons. Internal consistency and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) of the Fil- IADL was computed by Cronbachs α. The construct validity was studied by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Item convergent and discriminant validity was examined by Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for scores at baseline and at 2 weeks and the correlation of the IADL scale with Nottingham ADL Scale and Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) using Spearman correlation coefficient. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all the analyses. The tool has an internal consistency of .80 which indicates that the tool is sufficiently reliable to use. Test re-test reliability was done at a mean of 14 days apart, The mean Fil- IADL mean scores were 5.47 (SD= 2.12) and 5.35 (SD= 2.17) for baseline and follow-up, respectively, with a mean change of 1.46 p=.163 >.05 and a correlation of .988 p=.000
