Abstract
- The objective of the study was to test the supposition that distinct Activity and Participation sub-domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) could be identified using physical function questionnaire items drawn from the Activity and Participation Measures for Post Acute Care.A cross-sectional survey design was employed. Subjects. The sample consisted of 272 patients who had received post acute care across inpatient and community care settings during the previous year.Exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation was used to identify interpretable dimensions underlying 83 physical functioning questionnaire items.Factor analysis findings revealed five distinct ICF conceptual sub-domains that explained 61% of the total variance of the data, with root mean square residual equal to 0.089. These domains were labeled: (i) Daily activity, (ii) Applied cognitive, (iii) Role participation, (iv) Mobility, and (v) Social participation. These five factors were correlated to varying degrees and achieved acceptable levels of internal consistency with coefficient alphas from 0.59-0.93.These analyses suggest that clear distinctions between Activity and Participation sub-domains of the ICF could not be identified in a sample of adults who had recently received post acute care. We believe this is important evidence of the ability to measure blended Activity and Participation sub-domains that cut across distinct and interpretable areas of life functioning.
