Abstract

Objectives

to analyze the validity and reliability of Kihon Checklist, Brazilian version, for assessing frailty in older adults hospitalized with cancer.Methods

psychometric study. Content was analyzed by experts using the Content Validity Ratio. Internal structure was assessed by Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and reliability. Sample of 250 individuals.Results

content validity analysis using Content Validity Ratio excluded two items due to values below 0.60. Internal structure analysis showed a better fit in a two-dimensional structure with ten items, named KCL-ONCO10, explaining 66.48% of the phenomenon, with good fit and reliability indices (X2=38.98; p=0.04; GFI=0.98; CFI=0.99; AGFI=0.97; RMSEA=0.04; RMSR=0.05; α=0.84; Ω=0.84), but unstable in the construct replicability (GH Index=F1 0.89 - 0.69; F2 0.85 - 0.67).Conclusions

KCL-ONCO10 demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability evidence for assessing frailty in older adults hospitalized with cancer.
