Functional Status II-R (FSII-R)–FSIIR Preschoolers

Generic

Measure domains: Communication, Mobility, Mood, Energy, Play, Sleep, Eating And Toileting Patterns. FSIIR Pre-Schoolers- General health; total functional status; activity

Summary of development:  Stein & Jessop (1982) worked with the Pediatric Ambulatory Care Treatment Study (PACTS), a large-scale, longitudinal study of chronically ill children. Stein & Jessop (1982) used their clinical experience, interviewed experts, and conducted literature searches to identify instruments that measure illness burden and functional status of children with various medical conditions. Qualitative interviews with families of children with chronic diseases were done to help identify common themes (Stein & Jessop 1989). Stein & Jessop (1990) developed the FSIIR based on an earlier measure, the FSI, which measures ADL in adults.

The FSI was modeled for adults. FSIIR is for people aged 0-16, and there are five different versions, which vary depending upon age intervals and slightly different domain categories that are age-appropriate, and the number of items: infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. The newest short version was designed to measure overall wellbeing of people aged 0-16.

Five versions: Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, School children, Short version
