Abstract

Factors associated with the institutionalization of older adults may interfere with the functioning of this population. There are few instruments that evaluate this component  according to the biopsychosocial model. The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) is an instrument developed by WHO (World Health Organization) to measure functioning and disability supported by the  theoretical-conceptual model version  of the WHODAS 2.0 when applied to  institutionalized older adults with different health conditions. In total, 100 older adults participated in the study. IC was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha.
Spearman’s coefficient was used to analyze test-retest reliability, with the WHODAS questionnaire being  eapplied seven days after the first interview. Criterion validity (convergent and divergent) was also analyzed by  Spearman’s coefficient by the correlation analysis with the WHOQOL-BREF and the WHOQOL-OLD. As a result, we obtained an IC that was adequate for all domains (Cronbach’s alpha ≥0.75), with strong test-retest reliability (r> 0.85). In the criterion  validity, we obtained only moderate correlations of the WHODAS 2.0 domains with the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD domains (r=−0.62; r=−0.61 respectively). The psychometric properties tested indicated reliability – good internal consistency and strong test-retest reliability – and qualifications correlations in the  criterion value. These results demonstrated that WHODAS 2.0 is a valid and reliable instrument, thus providing a tool for assessing functioning in institutionalized older adults following the concepts and principles proposed by WHO of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This study aims to verify the reliability,
internal consistency (IC) and criterion validity of the Brazilian.
