The purpose of this study was to develop an IADL scale for elderly residing in health and welfare institutions with an exploratory, confirmatory and simultaneous factor analyses. Subjects were 7,251 residents of 111 special elderly nursing homes and 5,087 residents of 5 health care facilities for the elderly in Shizuoka prefecture. First, the exploratory factor analysis yield four factors: Feeding-related activities, Cleaning-related activities, Intellectual-living-related activities, and Mobility-related activities, respectively. Second, the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model comprised of 13 items was fit to our data. Third, the simultaneous factor analysis with six groups divided by sex(male, female) and age brackets(younger-old = 65-74, older-old = 75-84, oldest-old = 85 or more) showed that the model was fit to our data in each group. These results supported validity of the IADL scale for institutional elderly. These findings are expected to provide clinically useful implications particularly in evaluating outcomes of rehabilitation and in designing care-plan adequate to the functional level of institutional elderly.

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between cognitive and functional impairment and depression in terms of Lazarus and Folkmans theoretical perspective. We analyzed the responses of 208 older adults residing in the special elderly nursing homes and/or the health care facilities for the elderly. The results of our statistical analyses was as follows: (1) The exploratory factor analyses for two stress-appraisal scales of cognitive and functional impairment provided one-factor solution, respectively. The confirmatory factor analyses indicated the each one-factor measurement model yielded adequate indices of fit. It is evidence for their construct validity and unidimensionality. (2) Our path analytic model using structural equation modeling demonstrated that indirect effects of the cognitive and functional impairment on the depression through an increase in the stress-appraisals of their impairment. Significant direct effects of both cognitive and functional impairment on the depression were not found. These results indicate that stress-appraisals of cognitive and functional impairment play an important role in mediating the relationship between cognitive and functional impairment as a stressor, and depression as a stress response. Therefore, it is necessary to concern stress-appraisals of cognitive and functional impairment in designing and establishing an effective mental health care system for institutional older residents.

The purpose of this study was to develop the Family Caregiver Burden Inventory(FCBI) for measuring the family caregiver burden caring for a family member with dementia at home in Japan and Korea. In our statistical analysis, we used data for 181 family members caring for a family member with dementia living in Otsu city, Shiga prefecture, Japan, and 256 family members caring for a family member with dementia living in Seoul and Pusan city in Korea. In developing the FCBI, the authors assumed three dimensions, "negative feelings to the care recipient", "limitation in the social activities" and "financial constraints" and drew 12 items from existing caregiver burden measures. In order to establish internal construct validity of the FCBI, we used a confirm atory factor analysis(CFA) and simultaneous factor analysis in two cross-national samples. In the analysis, we formulated and tested a second-order factor model of family caregiver burden consisting of three factors, "negative feelings to the care recipient", "limitation in the social activities" and "financial constraints". Furthermore, external construct validity of the FCBI was assessed using structural equation modeling. In the analysis, we hypothesized and tested MIMIC(multiple indicator and multiple cause) model for caregiver`s variables(nationality, gender, age, and duration of care) to caregiver burden. To evaluate the reliability of the FCBI, its internal consistency was also tested using Cronbach`s alpha coefficient. CFA and simultaneous factor analysis results supported the hypothesized second-order factor structure of the FCBI and indicated the FCBI fit both the Korean and Japanese data. Furthermore, MIMIC modeling results showed cargiver`s nationality, gender, and duration of care were significantly related to care burden. The reliability of the FCBI was good. Cronbach`s alpha coefficient of the FCBI was 0.88 for the Korean sample and 0.85 for the Japanese sample. We could develop the FCBI for measuring the family caregiver burden caring for a family member with dementia at home in Japan and Korea.
