IADLalueet

IADLalueet, or Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), are tasks that individuals perform to maintain their daily living and independence. These activities are instrumental in the sense that they are necessary for the performance of other activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and managing finances. IADLs are often used as a measure of functional ability and independence in healthcare and social work settings.

Common IADLs include:

- Telephone use

- Shopping

- Food preparation

- Housekeeping

- Laundry

- Medication management

- Managing finances

Assessment of IADLs is typically conducted by healthcare professionals to evaluate an individual's ability to perform these tasks independently. The results can help determine the need for assistance, support services, or modifications to the living environment.

IADLs are distinct from Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), which are basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. While ADLs are essential for personal hygiene and comfort, IADLs are crucial for maintaining independence and quality of life in daily activities.
