Abstract

Abstract: This systematic review evaluated the measurement properties of the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in adults. A systematic search of four electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO) was conducted from inception until December 2022. The COSMIN (Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments) guidelines were used to assess the methodological quality and evidence synthesis of the included studies. Forty-six studies assessed the validity and reliability of the DJGLS-11 and its short version, the DJGLS-6. Very-low-quality evidence supported the content validity, moderate to high-quality evidence confirmed the structural validity and internal consistency, and low-quality evidence supported the construct validity of the two versions. Test-retest reliability was examined for the DJGLS-6 with low-quality evidence supporting excellent interclass coefficient values of 0.73–1.00. Both scales were cross-culturally adapted and translated into 18 languages across 12 countries. Although the structural validity and internal consistency of the DJGLS were supported by high-quality evidence, very-low to low-quality evidence was available for its other measurement properties. Future studies are needed to perform a more comprehensive assessment of the measurement properties of the DJGLS before fully recommending the scale to assess loneliness in adults.

成人De Jong - Gierveld孤独量表的测量特性及其跨文化适应

摘要:本研究旨在评估成人De Jong Gierveld孤独感量表(DJGLS)的测量特性。系统检索了四个电子数据库(PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus和PsycINFO)，从成立到2022年12月。使用COSMIN(基于共识的健康测量工具选择标准)指南来评估纳入研究的方法学质量和证据综合。46项研究评估了DJGLS-11及其简短版本DJGLS-6的有效性和可靠性。极低质量的证据支持内容效度，中等到高质量的证据支持结构效度和内部一致性，低质量的证据支持两个版本的结构效度。对DJGLS-6进行重测信度检验，低质量证据支持优秀的类间系数值为0.73-1.00。这两种量表都是跨文化改编的，并被翻译成12个国家的18种语言。虽然DJGLS的结构效度和内部一致性得到了高质量证据的支持，但其其他测量特性的证据质量很低或很低。未来的研究需要对DJGLS的测量特性进行更全面的评估，然后才能完全推荐该量表来评估成人的孤独感。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
