Abstract
With a rapidly aging population in China, resocialization is a concern amidst an increasing influx of older adult migrants. The aim of the current study was to develop a resocialization assessment scale for older migrants within the Chinese context. The study was conducted in two phases. A literature review and qualitative interview were performed to generate a draft scale that was further examined through Delphi expert consultation. Participants comprised 509 older migrants selected for a questionnaire survey. Analysis identified 62 items across four factors: interpersonal relationships, behavioral patterns, cultural integration, and social roles. Reliability and validity of the resulting assessment scale were verified. The scale can be used to evaluate the degree of resocialization exhibited by older migrants in Chinese communities. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 15(5), 245-253.].
期刊介绍:
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
