| 520 | |a This quantitative study aimed to construct Mokken scales related to the capacity for self-care of 48 elderly individuals. The survey used a version of the Appraisal of Self-Care Agency Scale validated for Portuguese. The questionnaire of 24 items permitted answers on a Likert scale with five alternatives. For analysis, non-parametric item response theory was used. Out of all the polytomic items, 19 formed two Mokken scales: that of Subjective Self-Care Capacity, with 11 items, and that of Objective Self-Care Capacity, with 8 items. It was possible to set up two scales in diminishing order of self-care ability, according to each person´s total score. It was verified that where objective actions and attitudes are concerned, the self-care capacity of the elderly is less than when one is considering subjective actions and attitudes. KEYWORDS | ||
