Abstract

Considering the current global aging of society, the demand for promoting smart care—a technology based care and knowledge system—among older adults living in long-term care (LTC) communities highlights the urgent need to assess the smart care needs of older adults. This study developed a questionnaire applicable to this context, tested it, and initially applied its reliability. We assessed the questionnaire's discriminant validity, content validity, consistency reliability, folding half reliability, and test–retest reliability, using a cross-sectional survey (260 older adults). Using a different cross-sectional participant group (418 older adults), we validated the factor analysis of the finalized questionnaire and its preliminary application. The results showed that the total mean score of the smart care needs of older adults in LTC communities was 67.55±13.81 (a medium level). We ultimately assessed the questionnaire to be a reliable tool for assessing the smart care needs of older adults in LTC communities.

长期照护社区长者智慧照护需求问卷的编制与应用

考虑到当前全球社会老龄化，在长期护理（LTC）社区生活的老年人中，对促进智能护理（基于技术的护理和知识系统）的需求突出了评估老年人智能护理需求的迫切需要。本研究开发了一份适用于此背景的问卷，对其进行了测试，并初步应用了其信度。我们采用横断面调查（260名老年人）评估了问卷的判别效度、内容效度、一致性信度、折叠半信度和重测信度。使用不同的横断面参与者组（418名老年人），我们验证了最终问卷的因素分析及其初步应用。结果显示，LTC社区老年人智能护理需求总平均得分为67.55±13.81（中等水平）。我们最终评估了问卷是评估LTC社区老年人智能护理需求的可靠工具。
