Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychometrics
  • Dementia Care

Background:

  • Assessing well-being in individuals with dementia is crucial for quality of life.
  • Existing instruments may not fully capture positive aspects of functioning.
  • A need exists for easy-to-use, positive observational tools for dementia well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct the first psychometric analysis of the Well-Being Measure-dementia.
  • To evaluate its factor structure, reliability, and validity.
  • To determine its utility in assessing dementia patient well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Psychometric analysis of the Well-Being Measure-dementia.
  • Data collected from 168 persons with dementia in psychogeriatric wards.
  • Validation using five existing instruments measuring quality of life, symptoms, and care needs.

Main Results:

  • The expected four-domain factor structure was confirmed.
  • Reliability (Cronbach's alpha) was satisfactory to good.
  • Concurrent and convergent validity showed moderate to strong correlations with existing scales.

Conclusions:

  • The Well-Being Measure-dementia is a psychometrically sound instrument.
  • It is a valid and reliable tool for assessing well-being in persons with dementia.
  • The measure shows promise for practical application in dementia care settings.
