Functional Activities Questionnaire

Definition 1

A standardized questionnaire developed by Pfeiffer et al in 1982, which is used to measure instrumental activities of daily living such as preparing meals and managing personal finances in older adults with dementia. The questionnaire contains 11 items. For each activity, six levels of scores are specified: 'dependent' (scored 3), 'requires assistance' (scored 2), 'has difficulty but does by self' (scored 1), 'normal' (scored 0), 'never did but could do now' (scored 0), and 'never did and would have difficulty now' (scored 1).
