VFQ-ID-R
Vienna Frailty Questionnaire for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities - Revised - deutsche Fassung
Short abstract
The VFQ-ID-R can be used to measure frailty in adults with intellectual disabilities. With 34 items, it covers the four areas (1) social life, (2) physical well-being, (3) cognitive tasks and (4) psychological well-being. Reliability: The internal consistency of the VFQ-ID-R for the entire questionnaire was Alpha = .74 (physical well-being: Alpha = .75; psychological well-being: Alpha = .57; Social life: Alpha = .47; Cognitive functions: Alpha = .41). The median of the retestreliability after four weeks achieved a characteristic value of rtt = .79. Validity: The content validity of the procedure is given due to the construction process. Its four-factorial factor structure was confirmed by a principal component analysis with Varimax rotation, whereby a variance elucidation of 64.33% was achieved. The prevalence rates of 17.7%, which are consistent with the estimates for the normal population aged 65 and over, continue to support the construct validity of the questionnaire.
