Abstract

Background/Objective

The Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire (ETUQ), which evaluates the perceived relevance of and the perceived ability in everyday technology (ET) use, has demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties in Swedish studies of older adults. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the ETUQ in a Japanese context in older Japanese adults.

Methods

A sample of older Japanese adults (n = 164) including persons with (n = 32) and without (n = 132) cognitive impairment was interviewed with the ETUQ, including original items (ETs) and added Japanese context-specific items. Data were analyzed using a Rasch measurement model.

Results

The analysis demonstrated acceptable functioning of the rating scale, internal scale validity, person response validity, and person-separation reliability of the Japanese ETUQ according to the Rasch model. However, evidence supporting unidimensionality in the Japanese ETUQ was not consistent in this sample. The added Japanese items did not significantly change the estimated individual person measures of perceived ability to use ET.

Conclusion

The Japanese ETUQ seems to be a sensitive tool to evaluate perceived ability in ET use among elderly people in Japan with and without cognitive impairment. Therefore, it could be used in research and clinical practice.

日常技术使用问卷在日本语境下的验证

背景/目的日常技术使用问卷(ETUQ)评估日常技术(ET)使用的感知相关性和感知能力，在瑞典老年人的研究中已经证明了可接受的心理测量特性。本研究的目的是在日本老年人中检验ETUQ的可靠性和有效性。方法对日本老年人(n = 164)进行ETUQ访谈，其中有认知障碍者(n = 32)和无认知障碍者(n = 132)，包括原始项目(ETs)和增加的日语情境特定项目。采用Rasch测量模型对数据进行分析。结果根据Rasch模型，日本ETUQ量表的评定量表、内部效度、人反应效度和人分离信度具有可接受的功能。然而，支持日本ETUQ单维性的证据在本样本中并不一致。增加的日语项目对估计的个人感知ET使用能力没有显著的改变。结论日语ETUQ似乎是评估日本有或无认知障碍老年人感知ET使用能力的敏感工具。因此，它可以用于研究和临床实践。
