Abstract

Despite the importance of social support in ostomy care, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) does not appear to be validated in the context of ostomy care. This study evaluated the psychometric characteristics of MSPSS in ostomy patients and their informal caregivers. The MSPSS was tested in a sample of 775 participants with confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency reliability was assessed with the ordinal Omega coefficient. Criterion-related validity was ascertained via hypothesis testing by correlating the scores of the MSPSS with other measures. MSPSS for patients and caregivers has a three-factor structure with a good fit. Internal consistency reliability of the factors was excellent. Concurrent validity was supported by the negative correlations between MSPSS scores with depression and stoma-related QoL, and the positive correlations with perceived mutuality. Our research indicates that the MSPSS is a sound measure of social support for ostomy patients and their caregivers.

造口患者及其护理人员感知社会支持多维量表的心理测量特征。

尽管社会支持在造口护理中非常重要，但感知社会支持多维量表（MSPSS）似乎尚未在造口护理中得到验证。本研究评估了 MSPSS 在造口患者及其非正式护理人员中的心理测量特征。通过确认性因素分析，对 775 名参与者的样本进行了 MSPSS 测试。内部一致性可靠性通过序数欧米茄系数进行评估。通过将 MSPSS 的得分与其他测量指标进行相关性假设检验，确定了标准相关有效性。针对患者和护理人员的 MSPSS 具有拟合良好的三因素结构。各因子的内部一致性可靠性极佳。MSPSS 评分与抑郁和造口相关 QoL 之间的负相关以及与感知到的相互性之间的正相关证明了并发有效性。我们的研究表明，MSPSS 是衡量造口患者及其护理人员社会支持的可靠指标。
