For the activities of daily living, Barthel Index is used to measure activities of daily living and the scale reliability is above 0.80 (Minosso et al., 2010). Barthel Index consists of 10 questions on the activities of daily living, such as eating, walking, taking a bath, defecation, and urination. The grading is the degree of assistance from others or time spent while the subjects are carrying out those activities. Higher score means higher independence of daily living.

The validity and reliability study for our country was conducted by Küçükdeveci et al. (2000) (Küçükdeveci et al. 2000)). This index is used to determine individuals’ levels of independence in their activities. Barthel index scores range from 0 to 100, with scores of 0–20 explaining complete dependence, 21–61 high dependence, 62–90 moderate dependence, 91–99 mild dependence, and 100 complete independence. In studies in which the BIADL is used, a score of 60 is taken as the cut-off point, and scores above 60 explain the ability to function independently. In the study made by Küçükdeveci et al. (2000), in which the Turkish reliability and validity study was conducted, the Cronbach alpha value was calculated as 0.93 (Küçükdeveci et al. 2000). In this study, the Cronbach alpha value of the BIADL was calculated as 0.84.

To evaluate the validity of the FF-EA and FF-PA, resident assessments were done to include descriptive information related to age, gender, and race, function was measured using the Barthel Index (Mahoney & Barthel, 1965), physical activity was measured based on MotionWatch 8 data, and numbers of resident falls, hospital admissions, and emergency room visits in the 4 months prior to baseline were obtained from a designated staff member in each setting. The Barthel Index is a 10-item measure of activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, dressing). Items are weighted to account for the amount of assistance required. A score of 100 indicates complete independence. Estimates of internal consistency ranged from alpha coefficients of 0.62 to 0.80; interrater reliability was supported based on an intraclass correlation of 0.89 between two observers; and validity was based on correlations with the Functional Inventory Measure (r = 0.97, p < .05) (Mahoney & Barthel, 1965).
Towards human-centred general hospitals: the potential of dementia-friendly design
Published in Architectural Science Review, 2021
Treatment results were gathered as retrospective routine data from geriatric patients (N = 2735, on average n = 110 per unit) who were admitted to SCUs in 2018 and 2019. Anonymized sets of data were provided by hospitals. The change in self-care abilities was operationalized by the variations as assessed using the Barthel Index between the beginning and the end of the patient stay. The Barthel Index is a well-established assessment instrument in geriatrics as a simple index of independence by scoring the ability of patients to take care of themselves in basic everyday functions. A minimum of 0 points (complete need for care) and a maximum of 100 points (independence) can be scored (Mahoney and Barthel 1965). Patients who died during hospitalization were excluded.
