Initial validation of the powered mobility device autonomy residential screen (PoMoDARS) by Natalie C. Dickson, Apeksha R. Gohil, Carolyn A. Unsworth

“…The PoMoDARS is context specific, time efficient and promotes resident autonomy and safety.Aims To (i) undertake initial face and content validation of the PoMoDARS, and (ii) use the research findings to make any modifications.Methods A mixed-methods study design, underpinned by Classical Test Theory. Eight clinicians completed 20 PoMoDARS screens and provided both quantitative and qualitative feedback on item importance and ease of use within a formal interview.Results Initial face and content validity of the PoMoDARS were supported, with small modifications made to item descriptors and instructions.Conclusions The PoMoDARS has been developed for use in residential aged care settings to screen resident PMD use. …”
