AnnotationThe respondents in this study were 83 people aged 65 years or older who lived at a care home in Hong Kong. Firstly, test-retest reliabilities of four Resident Assessment Protocol (RAP) scales were examined, and acceptable test-retest reliability found. Secondly, inter-rater reliability of these four RAPs was found to be acceptable. Results suggest that the Chinese version of MDS-RAI is a reliable and valid assessment tool for older Chinese residents in a long-term care facility in Hong Kong. (KJ/RH).
