title: [Evaluation of the level of dependency of persons placed in establishments for chronic patients. Development of a survey instrument and studies of validity, pertinence and performance].
abstract: With the aim to achieve a more equitable budgetary allocation to nursing homes, an instrument for the evaluation of the patients' dependency has been developed and tested in 55 institutions, for a total of about 23000 observations. Statistical analyses show that the internal validity of the gathered data is quite good. The tool criteria are judged relevant by experts, and the tool performance is adequate: its use should permit the constitution of groups (clustering) of nursing homes homogeneous from the point of view of their nursing care load.
