Abstract

Background

Loss of personal autonomy in older adults with chronic multimorbidity is associated with worsened biopsychosocial health. In order to facilitate the standardised assessment of personal autonomy in older adults with chronic conditions, nurses could use the Maastricht Personal Autonomy Questionnaire (MPAQ).

Objective

To translate, culturally adapt and psychometrically assess the Spanish version of the MPAQ in community-dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity (MPAQ-Sp).

Methods

Observational cross-sectional study. A convenience sample of 884 community-dwelling older adults was recruited from 10 community centres in five health districts in southeastern Spain. Data were collected between January 2021 and September 2022. The study was completed in four phases. Phase 1: The MPAQ was translated into Spanish. Phase 2: A pilot test of reliability and content validity was conducted. Phase 3: To test the dimensionality of the tool, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted. Phase 4: a final validation study was conducted which included a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and assessed the validity (content, criterion and construct), reliability and readability of the MPAQ-Sp.

Results

The average age of the sample was 75.89 years (SD = ±8.04). Their mean number of chronic conditions was 4.84 (SD = ±2.19) and 67% were women. The MPAQ-Sp is comprised of 16 items distributed in four subscales: [1] the ‘Degree of autonomy’ scale, [2] the ‘Working on autonomy’ scale, [3] the ‘Dilemmas: health over preferences’ scale and [4] the ‘Dilemmas: preferences over health’ scale.

Conclusions

The Spanish version of the MPAQ-Sp is a valid and reliable instrument to assess personal autonomy in Spanish-speaking, community-dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity.

Implications for Practice

The use of the MPAQ-Sp would allow researchers and healthcare professionals to identify a loss of personal autonomy among Spanish-speaking community-dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Older People Nursing welcomes scholarly papers on all aspects of older people nursing including research, practice, education, management, and policy. We publish manuscripts that further scholarly inquiry and improve practice through innovation and creativity in all aspects of gerontological nursing. We encourage submission of integrative and systematic reviews; original quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research; secondary analyses of existing data; historical works; theoretical and conceptual analyses; evidence based practice projects and other practice improvement reports; and policy analyses. All submissions must reflect consideration of IJOPN''s international readership and include explicit perspective on gerontological nursing. We particularly welcome submissions from regions of the world underrepresented in the gerontological nursing literature and from settings and situations not typically addressed in that literature. Editorial perspectives are published in each issue. Editorial perspectives are submitted by invitation only.
