Abstract
The PROMIS 6-item Sleep Disturbance Scale had acceptable internal consistency and strong construct validity among a sample of elderly older adults in an independent-living community setting. These findings suggest that the PROMIS scale may provide an accurate assessment of sleep disturbance in older adults. Additional validation testing using objective measures of sleep is needed to confirm these findings further.
