Aim To evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on interobserver agreement of assess- ments of functional status performed by registered nurses and care assistants in a nursing home and to compare interobserver agreement in persons with and without cognitive im- pairment. Background High accuracy of assessments of functional status in care settings for older persons is needed for the efficacy of the planning and the evaluation of the nursing care. Method Randomized clinical trial. Six registered nurses and six care assistants were randomized to participate in an educational session about assessment instruments for functional status (in- tervention) or in a session about falls in the elderly (control). Each of the registered nurses and care assistants performed assessments on the same thirty-four residents using the Bel- gian Evaluation Scale (BES) and the AGGIR instrument. The kappa statistic (κ) for multiple observers (and its 95% confidence interval) was the main outcome measure. Findings At baseline, interobserver agreement for BES total score was: κ=0.43 (0.35-0.51) in the in- tervention group and κ=0.48 (0.39-0.57) in the control group. At the second assessment, agreement measures were: κ=0.48 (0.41-0.57) in the intervention group and κ=0.58 (0.50- 0.66) in the control group. Results for AGGIR total scores were similar. Conclusion Interobserver agreement of assessments on nursing home residents was moderate and did not improve significantly after an educational session.

A randomized clinical trial using an educational intervention demonstrated no effect on interobserver agreement on assessments of functional status
