Samenvatting

Achtergrond:In onze vergrijzende maatschappij is valangst een belangrijk concept. Tot voor kort waren er in Nederland geen schalen beschikbaar waarmee valangst kan worden gemeten. Schalen ontwikkeld in andere landen moeten aangepast en opnieuw onderzocht worden voordat zij te gebruiken zijn in ons land.
Doel:(1) Onderzoeken van de psychometrische eigenschappen van een Nederlandse versie van de Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC-NL). (2) Onderzoeken of toevoeging van items die refereren naar complexere situaties het discriminerend vermogen verbeteren.
Methode:De deelnemers zijn 106 mannen en 140 vrouwen in de leeftijd van 65-92 jaar. De metingen bestaan uit de 16-item ABC-NL en zeven complexere items, valverleden, algemene en lichamelijke self-efficacy (eigen effectiviteit), de functional reach test en een balansplank test.
Resultaten: De ABC-NL heeft een gering plafondeffect, de maximale score wordt door meerdere personen gehaald. De interne consistentie is hoog. De ABC-NL is significant sterker gerelateerd aan lichamelijke self-efficacy dan aan algemene self-efficacy. De relatie met objectieve metingen voor balans is redelijk. Verschillen tussen vallers en niet-vallers en tussen mensen die activiteit vermijden uit angst om te vallen en mensen die geen activiteiten vermijden zijn significant. Toevoeging van complexere items verbetert de psychometrische eigenschappen nauwelijks.
Conclusie: De psychometrische eigenschappen van de ABC-NL zijn bevredigend. Nader onderzoek is gewenst voor gebruik bij ouderen die op hoog niveau functioneren.
