Abstract

Introduction: Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) is frequently used in patients with dementia for the assessment of agitation severity. This instrument is especially used in research investigating the severity of behavioral symptoms and their treatment responses. In this study, psychometric properties of the Turkish version of CMAI were investigated in patients with dementia (n=52). Materials and Method: CMAI-Turkish version was applied by face-to-face interview to the caregivers of dementia patients who were admitted to a geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic. For validity, the correlations between CMAI total scores and Neuropsychiatry Inventory (NPI) total and subscale scores were evaluated. For internal consistency, Cronbach alpha value of the items was calculated. Results: CMAI scores were significantly correlated with NPI scores and Cronbach alpha value of the scale was high (0.89). Conclusion: Turkish version of CMAI is a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of the frequency and severity of agitation behavior. Further studies might evaluate inter-rater reliability of the scale in inpatients with dementia.

Özet

Giriş: Cohen-Mansfield Ajitasyon Envanteri (CMAE) demans hastalarında ajitasyon şiddetinin değerlendirilmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılan bir araçtır. Demansa eşlik eden davranışsal belirtilerin şiddetinin ve tedaviye yanıtın araştırıldığı çalışmalarda kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, demans hastalarında (n=52) CMAE’nin Türkçe uyarlamasının psikometrik özelliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmı ştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: CMAE Geriatrik Psikiyatri polikliniğine yakını ile beraber başvuran demans hastalarının bakım veren yakınlarına yüz yüze görüşme ile uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin geçerliği için CMAE toplam puanı ile Nöropsikiyatri Envanteri (NPE) toplam puanı ve alt ölçek puanları arasındaki korelasyon değerlendirilmiştir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılığı için Cronbach alfa değeri hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: CMAE puanının NPE puanı ile anlamlı düzeyde pozitif korelasyon gösterdiği ve ölçeğ in iç tutarlılığının yüksek (0.89) olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: CMAE’nin Türkçe uyarlaması demans hastalarında ajitasyon davranışlarının sıklığını ve şiddetini belirlemede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir araçtır. İleride yapılacak çalışmalarda yatan demans hastalarında ölçeğin değerlendiriciler-arası güvenirliğinin değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
