Not daily, sometimes not ever – mixed methods exploration of the contemporary relevance of tasks contained in extended activities of daily living scales.
Background Assessment of functional status is an integral part of older adult healthcare and research. Therefore, it is essential that tools to capture function are contextually appropriate. Many tools designed to evaluate extended Activities of Daily Living (eADLs) were developed decades ago. Objec...

Therefore, it is essential that tools to capture function are contextually appropriate. Many tools designed to evaluate extended Activities of Daily Living (eADLs) were developed decades ago. Objective Our aim was to explore which eADL tasks are commonly performed by older adults and map these tasks to popular eADL scales, seeking stakeholder perspectives to inform recommendations on scale content. Design Online survey with quantitative questions and free text followed-by semi-structured interviews. Subjects Older adults (≥60-years), carers and health, social care and voluntary/community professionals. Methods We extracted eADL tasks from existing scales to develop a survey on frequency of performance, with space for additional comment. The survey was disseminated via Join Dementia Research and other clinical and professional networks. Online semi-structured interviews were undertaken with thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts. Results From 2244 online survey responses, 87% came from older people and two-thirds of respondents were female. Some eADL tasks were never performed by many participants. Tasks not part of existing tools included online banking and mobile phone use. From fifteen interviews, a recurring theme was that technological and societal changes have altered daily tasks. Conclusions Commonly used eADL scales contain obsolete tasks and omit tasks older people consider part of their everyday lives. There is a need to work collaboratively to update eADL tools to reflect the priorities and activities of older people to ensure these remain valid measures for use in practice and research.
