Abstract
The Activity Card Sort was developed to measure the level of participation of older adults in instrumental, social, and leisure activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the translated and culturally adapted Puerto Rican Spanish version of the Activity Card Sort (PR-ACS). This study included 106 community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years and older and 40 adults with multiple sclerosis aged 50 years and older. Results showed that the PR-ACS was able to discriminate between clients with different levels of functioning ( t = 6.86; p < .001), and was positively associated with the Puerto Rican version of the RAND-36 Short Form Health Survey ( r = 0.66; p < .001). Good test—retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.82) and high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91) were demonstrated. Initial evidence of construct validity, concurrent validity, internal consistency, and test—retest reliability was found to support the use of the PR-ACS to assess occupational participation of Puerto Rican older adults living in the community.
