Predictive Validity and Reliability of Frenchay Activities Index by Li TONG, Shanjia CHEN, Guanli XIE, Cai JIANG, Jing TAO, Lidian CHEN

“…The internal consistency, structural validity, project discrimination of the test scale, and the evaluation of the improved Barthel index were used to test the validity of the calibration. Ninety-four subjects were randomly selected within one week and retested by the same assessor.Results:The internal consistency of the Chinese version of the FAI scale was Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.937.The test-retest reliability showed that the intra-group correlation coefficient(ICC)was 0.810(95%<italic>CI</italic>:0.672 to 0.952).In terms of project discrimination, the differences between the high and low group scores of each project were statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the discrimination of each item in the scale was generally good;the correlation analysis of the entries, dimensions and total scores of the Chinese version of the FAI scale found that the correlation coefficient between the items in the Chinese version of FAI and the total score was in the range of 0.535-0.832(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the correlation coefficient of the three dimensions and total scores of household activities, leisure activities and outing activities were 0.867, 0.913, 0.948 respectively(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).The exploratory factor analysis(EFA)was used to test the structural validity of the Chinese version of the FAI scale to a KMO statistic of 0.924 and the Bartlett spherical χ²test to 4535.558(<italic>df</italic>=105, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Using the principal component analysis method to extract the common factors from the scale, there were three common factors with eigenvalue≥1, the eigenvalue of common factor 1 was 4.776, the contribution rate of variance was 31.842%, and the eigenvalue of common factor 2 was 3.437.The contribution rate of variance was 22.914%, the eigenvalue of common factor 3 was 2.436, the contribution rate of variance was 16.238%, and the cumulative contribution of the three common factors to the total variance was 70.994%.The validity-related validity test showed that the FAI total score was positively correlated with the MBI total score, the correlation was general(<italic>r</italic>=0.322, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the three dimensions of FAI(home activities, leisure activities, outing activities)was correlated with the MBI total score, the correlation was general(<italic>r</italic>=0.320, <italic>r</italic>=0.267, <italic>r</italic>=0.319, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Frenchay activities index has good reliability and validity in patients with recovery from stroke hospitalization.…”
