Resumo: Objective to determine the psychometric properties of the international 7-item Falls Efficacy Scale. Method a psychometric study. Convenience sample consisting of 170 older adults living in the Madeira Autonomous Region, Portugal. A two-part instrument was used (sociodemographic characterization and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International-Portugal). The starting point was the translation and transcultural adaptation already carried out for the Falls Efficacy Scale - International (16 items). Construct validity (factorial analysis and discriminant validity) and the reliability (Cronbach's α) of the 7-item scale were evaluated. Previous authorization was obtained from the Ethics Commission and from the people involved. Results in the exploratory factorial analysis, the International 7-item Falls Efficacy Scale presents an explained variance of 65.8%. The Spearman's correlation between the score obtained based on the 7 items and the score obtained based on the 16 items is significant and very strong (r=0.987, p<0.0001). Internal consistency was 0.958. Conclusion the validity and reliability study of the International 7-item Falls Efficacy Scale revealed that it is an adequate scale for the evaluation of the fear of falling in the community-dwelling older adults.

Método estudo psicométrico. Amostra de conveniência, de 170 idosos residentes em Região Autónoma da Madeira, Portugal. Recorreu-se a instrumento constituído por duas partes (caracterização sociodemográfica e a Falls Efficacy Scale Internacional Portugal). Partiu-se da tradução e adaptação transcultural já realizada para a Falls Efficacy Scale Internacional (16 itens). Avaliou-se a validade de constructo (análise fatorial e validade discriminante) e a confiabilidade (α de Cronbach) da escala de 7 itens. Obteve-se previamente autorização da Comissão de Ética e das pessoas envolvidas. Resultados na análise fatorial exploratória a Falls Efficacy Scale Internacional 7 itens apresenta uma variância explicada de 65,8%. A correlação de Spearman entre a pontuação obtida com base nos 7 itens e a pontuação obtida com base nos 16 itens é significativa e muito forte (r=0.987, p<0.0001). A consistência interna foi de 0,958. Conclusão o estudo da validade e a confiabilidade da Falls Efficacy Scale Internacional 7 itens revelou ser uma escala adequada para a avaliação do medo de cair na pessoa idosa residente na comunidade.Repositório ComumMarques-Vieira, CristinaSousa, LuísBaixinho, Cristina LavaredaReis, Maria Gorete Mendonça dosPérez-Riva, Francisco JavierSOUSA, LISETE2021-09-29T13:31:10Z20212021-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.26/37609enghttps://doi.org/10.1590/1980-265X-TCE-2019-0243info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-08-03T09:06:05Zoai:comum.rcaap.pt:10400.26/37609Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:11:04.105501Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
