“…Having established agreement among panel members in finalizing the AIADL scale, which consisted of 10 items with each attaining a kappa score in the range of 0.62-0.75, as well as validating its content validity to be used within the context of Hong Kong, the AIADL scale was further tested for its reliability and validity by our recruited participants. The AIADL scale showed comparable standards of disability and cognitive measures to other well-cited literature (41,42), and over-weighting the conventional IADL measure (41,43). Our findings echoed previous literature which documented that IADLs demand performance in cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, and executive function (44).…”

“…The coverage of participants nearly encompassed the main groups of older adults in our community. Taking into consideration this wide spectrum of coverage, the capability to use mobile technology in handling communication and finance was considered as an important ability that is much needed by the older adults for them to live independently in the community ( 41 ).…”

BackgroundThe capability in applying information communication technology (ICT) is crucial to the functional independence of older peoples of community living nowadays. The proper assessment of individuals' capability of ICT application is the corner stone for the future development of telemedicine in our aging population.MethodsWith the recruitment of 300 participants of different functional and social background in home-living, hostel-living, and care-and-attention home living; and through assessing the ability of individuals in instrumental activities of daily living and cognitive assessments, this study aimed at capturing the content validity and construct validity of the Advanced Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (AIADL scale). In addition, this study assess the ability of older peoples in applying ICT and how the functional and social background affects their independence in aging-in-place.ResultsThe AIADL scale showed good test-retest reliability and good-to-excellent internal consistency. To determine if items of the AIADL scale measure various aspects of community living, exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure with “home living and management” and “community living”. Validity analysis with the known-groups method showed a high overall accuracy of prediction of individuals' capability of independent living in the community.ConclusionsThe AIADL scale is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the ability of older adults in handling ICT as part of their instrumental activities in daily living. The scale can reflect capability of older peoples in applying ICT. This instrument can serve as a reference in measuring readiness of individuals in receiving telemedicine and their ability of aging-in-place.

“…This study evaluated individuals' dysfunctions with their cognitive functions in contemporary instrumental activities of daily living and illustrated the importance of both cognitive functions and physical functions in the IADL for older adults. AIADL showed comparable standards of disability and cognitive measures to other well cited literature (Koskas et al, 2018;Romdhani et al, 2018), and over-weighting the conventional instrumental activities of daily living measure (Forsman et al, 2017;Koskas et al, 2018).

(Background) The use of information communication technology and smartphone application are crucial to individuals’ functional independence of community living. Previous studies did not reveal how older adults’ in applying the information communication technology will affect their aging-in-place in our contemporary community. (Methods) This study aimed at developing the psychometric properties of the instrument named Advanced Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (AIADL), and to explore the adoption and handling information communication technology in instrumental activities of daily living for aging-in-place of older adults. 100 home-living participants who are functionally and socially independent, 100 hostel-living participants who are functionally independent but need social assistance, and 100 care-and-attention home living participants who need environment support and assistance in daily functioning were recruited for this study. (Results) AIADL showed good test-retest reliability and good-to-excellent internal consistency. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure with “home living and management” and “community living”. Validity analysis with the known-groups method showed a high overall accuracy of prediction of individuals’ capability of independent living in the community. (Conclusions) AIADL is a valid and reliable instrument to assess older adults’ ability in handling contemporary instrumental activities in their daily life. This instrument can serve as a reference in measuring individuals’ ability of aging-in-place.

“…These results suggested that since the general public did not have a good understanding of the previously unknown COVID-19, the scope of the consultation content was wide, and some consultation questions were beyond the scope of medical care. This further suggested that similar volunteer service platforms in the late stage of the pandemic may also benefit from the assistance from multidisciplinary professionals [9,10], such as experts in environmental protection, statistics, zoology, etc., so as to deliver more comprehensive and informed consultation services to the public.…”

Background After the outbreak of Coronavirus in Wuhan, Hubei, in 2019, the disease rapidly spread to other parts of China as well as outside of China. Since the pandemic outbreak, the general public has been responsive to the national call to stay at home in quarantine. However, since doubts and anxiety related to the disease have been detected in the general public, in this study, we established the WeChat platform “Coronavirus Disease 2019 Voluntary Assistance Group in Sichuan and Chongqing regions” in January 2020, which was committed to providing professional consultation and psychological counseling services for residents in Sichuan and Chongqing during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak. Our aim was to analyze the consultation practices of residents in the WeChat assistance group and provide a reference for the similar “non-contact” voluntary service platforms aiming to implement consultations during the late pandemic period. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using the records containing the consultation content from the WeChat assistance groups in Sichuan and Chongqing between January 30 and March 1, 2020. Data on consultation content, changes in a number of consultation items, answers, knowledge on popular science, and expert advice were summarized, and the Pareto chart was used to analyze the primary and secondary factors of consultation content. Results The constituent ratio of “respiratory symptoms, masks, and disinfection” in consultation content ranked as the top three factors. Cumulatively, they occupied 49.77% of the content, thus resulting as the primary factors in the consultation content. The number of consultation items suddenly increased from 10 on the first day to 116 on the 7th day, resulting in a 1060% increased rate. There were 151 consultation factors, among which 130 (86.1%) were related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019, and 21 (13.9%) were unrelated to the Coronavirus Disease 2019. Conclusion WeChat groups may be used as an effective means for providing assistance services for the public during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak.
