Abstract

Background: The evaluation of productive engagement of old adults has become a challenging task because cultural, ethical, religious, and other personal values may influence perceptions of the meaning and consequences of productive engagement. Assessing the productive engagement of the older adults is crucial to promote active and productive aging. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire concerning the productive engagement of Chinese older adults in the community.

Methods: A draft scale was created via a literature review and interviews with 17 older adults in the community, following the cross-cultural framework for productive engagement in later life. Content validity was assessed by seven experts. Subsequently, a preliminary questionnaire containing 33 items was developed and its psychometric properties were evaluated.

Results: The final version of the questionnaire was composed of 27 items distributed across five dimensions. The overall standardized Cronbach's α for the productive engagement questionnaire was 0.904, with individual dimension values ranging from 0.759 to 0.869. Nearly all dimensions displayed satisfactory factor loadings. The correlation coefficient between each item's score and its respective dimension ranged from 0.473 to 0.723.

Conclusions: The developed questionnaire exhibited good validity and reliability, showing promise for effectively evaluating the productive engagement level of Chinese older adults within the community.

Trial registration: Not applicable.

开发并验证评估中国老年人社区生产参与情况的问卷。
背景:评估老年人的生产性参与已成为一项具有挑战性的任务,因为文化、道德、宗教和其他个人价值观可能会影响对生产性参与的意义和后果的看法。评估老年人的生产性参与对于促进积极和富有成效的老龄化至关重要。本研究旨在开发并验证一份有关中国老年人在社区中生产性参与的问卷:方法:根据晚年生产性参与的跨文化框架,通过文献综述和对 17 名社区老年人的访谈,编制了一份量表草案。内容有效性由七位专家进行评估。随后,编制了一份包含 33 个项目的初步问卷,并对其心理测量特性进行了评估:问卷的最终版本由 27 个项目组成,分布在五个维度上。生产性敬业度问卷的总体标准化 Cronbach's α 为 0.904,单个维度的值在 0.759 至 0.869 之间。几乎所有维度都显示出令人满意的因子负荷。各项目得分与各自维度之间的相关系数介于 0.473 至 0.723 之间:结论:所编制的问卷具有良好的效度和信度,有望有效评估中国老年人在社区中的生产参与水平:试验登记:不适用。
