โฆ Synopsis
Purpose. Measure functional independence and need for assistance in mobility and self-care (1). The Barthel Index was developed in a chronic hospital setting; it has generally not been adopted for use in community-based studies (2). Items were chosen to reflect the level of nursing care required. The item weightings are based on the level of nursing care required and social acceptability (3).
Content. Basic activities of daily living (e.g., feeding, transfer, hygiene). Items are rated in terms of whether individuals can perform activities independently, can perform with some assistance, or are dependent.
