abstract="OBJECTIVE: to translate and adapt Falls Efficacy Scale - International (FES-I). To analyze the psychometric properties of the FES-I Portugal version. <br><br>METHOD: psychometric study. Sample consisting of 170 elderly people residing in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. A two- part form was used (sociodemographic characterization and FES-I Portugal). The cross-cultural adaptation was performed and the following psychometric properties were evaluated: validity (construct, predictive, and discriminant), reliability (Cronbach's alpha), and inter-rater reliability. <br><br>RESULTS: the results allow us to verify a dimension of less demanding physical activities and another of more demanding physical activities. The inter-rater reliability study was 0.62, with an interclass correlation coefficient of 0.859, for a 95% confidence interval. The internal consistency of the Portuguese version was 0.962. <br><br>CONCLUSION: the validity and reliability of the FES-I Portugal are consistent with the original version and proved to be appropriate instruments for evaluating the &quot;impaired walking&quot; and &quot;risk of falls&quot; nursing diagnoses in the older people.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
