Abstract

Introduction: The Barthel index was taken as the central axis of research, with the intention of knowing its contributions to patient care, the adaptations in its psychometric properties made, weaknesses in the measurement, with the intention of clarifying the theoretical and methodological route for a possible adaptation and validation to the reality of Ecuador, where there is currently no direct research on the described. Objective: The objective was to review the scientific evidence on the psychometric properties of the Barthel index. Methodology: It was based on a systematic review of the scientific literature using the PRISMA procedure, taking the most significant contributions, based on 11 articles published in PubMed, WOS, Scopus. Results: The different articles used validate the Barthel index as a method to assess the physical capacity of patients who have suffered strokes. Conclusion: The Barthel index is shown to be a reliable instrument in the researches scrutinized, including the adaptations that have been made, being considerable to be taken into account by the nursing staff with the intention of promoting a care management in accordance with providing a diligent and quality service to the patient and his family.
