The Performance Assessment of Self-care Skills (PASS-Home) is a client-centered, performance-based, criterionreference, observational form designed to capture client’s performance skills in completing daily task activities. The aim
of the study was to describe the process of translating, adapting and validating the PASS-Home from English language
version into a Malay language version. The development of the translated Malay version of the PASS-Home consisted of
two stages. Stage one involved the exclusion of the items that were not culturally relevant to the Malaysian culture. Stage
two involved the translation process. The five steps of the cross-cultural adaptation process were followed: (1) initial
forward version; (2) a summary of recommendations by the expert panels; (3) the back-translation; (4) modifications of
the translated Malay version of PASS and a summary of problems found during the pre-testing, and (5) the final version
of the PASS Malay Version (M-PASS). A total of five items from the PASS-Home were omitted in the Malay version (M-PASS)
and another five items that were considered as suitable in Malaysian context were added in the M-PASS. The Content
Validation Index (CVI) showed perfect agreement with an average of I-CVI was reported at 0.99 and S-CVI/universal
agreement (S-CVI/UA) was at 0.93. Test-retest reliabilty showed that the M-PASS were highly reliable reported of its
three main constructs of Independence (ICC=0.706), Safety (ICC=0.906) and Adequacy (ICC=0.950). M-PASS showed
strong evidence as a valid and reliable assessment in evaluating the functional level of older people who live independently
in community.
