Introduction: Technology has not been included in health protocols as a specialised area of assessment or treatment. This is why the FACETS (Functional Assessment of Currently Employed Technology Scale) was designed. FACETS is a ten-item survey that evaluates five different functional domains. The purpose of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of FACETS.
Methods: Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, confidence intervals for alpha and omega, multiple group factor analysis, Fleming's index of scale fit, and differential item (domain) function were performed on 423 previously deidentified FACETS forms from clinical data (DIF).
The 10 FACETS items had strong internal consistency and factor validity, as well as intra-domain correlations. Fleming created a factor scale fit index that indicated an outstanding fit. All domains, with the exception of one, have sufficient unique information to produce differential item functioning.
Conclusions: FACETS revealed excellent internal consistency reliability, strong general factor validity, and strong factor validity across all five domains.Author(S) Details
