Abstract

Aim

We developed a self-assessment scale—Older Adults' Perceptions of Community-based Connectedness with People—to assess older adults' comprehensive perceptions of their connectedness with others in the community. A specific aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of this scale.

Methods

Participants consisted of 1000 men and women aged 65 years or older, living in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Factorial validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, while concurrent validity was assessed using correlation analysis. Reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's α coefficient using the internal consistency method, and the stability coefficient was confirmed using the test–retest method.

Results

Responses were received from 380 participants, and 358 participants who responded to all items were included in the analysis. The developed scale comprised 22 items with three factors: “Perception of Inclusion” (α = .947), “Perception of Reciprocity through Reception” (α = .937), and “Perception of Reciprocity through Provision” (α = .910). Correlation analyses indicated that concurrent scales were positively correlated with Ikigai and negatively correlated with loneliness on the total scale. The model fit was comparative fit index = 0.933, goodness-of-fit index = 0.854, adjusted goodness-of-fit index = 0.818, and root mean square of approximation = 0.081. The stability coefficient of the total scale scores was 0.875 (95% CI: [0.830, 0.908]).

Conclusions

The developed scale had adequate reliability and validity. The perceptions of connectedness measured using this scale can be used by public health and nursing care professionals to prevent loneliness and isolation among older adults living in the community.

开发老年人对社区与人联系感知量表:可靠性和有效性评估。
目的:我们开发了一个自我评估量表--"老年人对社区中与他人联系的看法",以评估老年人对其在社区中与他人联系的综合看法。本研究的一个具体目的是评估该量表的可靠性和有效性:参与者包括居住在日本北海道札幌市的 1000 名 65 岁或以上的男性和女性。采用探索性和确认性因子分析评估因子效度,采用相关性分析评估并发效度。采用内部一致性方法通过克朗巴赫 α 系数确认了信度,并采用重测法确认了稳定性系数:结果:共收到 380 名参与者的回答,其中 358 名参与者回答了所有项目并被纳入分析。所编制的量表由 22 个项目组成,包含三个因子:"包容感"(α = .947)、"接受互惠感"(α = .937)和 "提供互惠感"(α = .910)。相关分析表明,并行量表与 "Ikigai "呈正相关,与总量表中的 "孤独感 "呈负相关。模型拟合度为比较拟合指数 = 0.933,拟合优度指数 = 0.854,调整后拟合优度指数 = 0.818,近似均方根 = 0.081。量表总分的稳定系数为 0.875(95% CI:[0.830,0.908]):结论:所编制的量表具有充分的信度和效度。公共卫生和护理专业人员可利用该量表测量的联系感来预防社区老年人的孤独和孤立。
