ABSTRACT

Aim: This study aims to develop items of a home modification assessment based on Korean home and life stylesbased on a Delphi survey. Methods: A literature review regarding a home modification assessment was conducted and a professionalfocus-group was established. The participants went through a review of items, descriptive opinions werecollected, and the items were scrutinized through an active discussion. A modified Delphi method was applied inthis study. The first Delphi was conducted for a total of 13 of the occupational therapists and professors who arecurrently working in the home modification field. Finally, the final items were selected and the stability,convergence, consensus and content validity ratio (CVR) were calculated. Results: At the initial item construction, the items were separated into multi-unit and detached house types. Therewere no deleted items after the first Delphi, the expressions were polished, and some of the items were immergedand a new item was added. Finally, 56 items of 9 domains for the multi-unit type were confirmed and 62 itemsof the 10 domains for the detached house type were confirmed after the second Delphi survey. The average CVRwas 0.99; stability, 0.12; convergence, 0.26; and consensus, 0.89 among the multi-unit type items. In addition, theaverage CVR was 1.00; stability, 0.11; convergence, 0.28; and consensus, 0.72 among the detached house typeitems. Conclusion: This study was conducted to develop the items of home safety and fall issues based on Korean homeand life styles. The items established through a validation by a Delphi survey were highly valid and stable for usein clinical practice in Korea.
