Developing the Social Cognitive Factor Scale (SCFS) to analyze the determinants influencing the utilization of traditional chinese medicine preventive health services among older adults
Introduction
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) boosts immunity, aids self-repair, and supports elderly health. Despite government efforts, older adults underutilize TCM preventive health services. This study aimed to develop a reliable and valid Social Cognitive Factor Scale (SCFS) to understand this from a behavioral psychology perspective.
Methods
The SCFS, a self-report questionnaire rooted in Bandura's social cognitive theory, was developed by an expert panel using insights from current literature, focus group qualitative research, and scale testing. Twenty experts in TCM public health research and 840 community-dwelling older adults were included in this study. Scale development involved a literature review to establish the initial item pool, two Delphi expert consultations for item screening and revision, and comprehensive testing for reliability and effectiveness.
Results
The SCFS consisted of 22 items classified into six dimensions: perceived environment, social support, belief and knowledge, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and self-regulation. The overall Cronbach's alpha of the scale was 0.946, and the split-half reliability of the total scale was 0.828, showing good reliability. A total of six factors were extracted, explaining 78.85 % of the total variation. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the scale had good construct validity. Scores on the SCFS were significantly and positively correlated with the utilization rate of TCM preventive health services for older adults (r = 0.537, p < 0.01).
Conclusion
TCM plays a significant role in actively addressing the challenges of aging. The SCFS provides a reliable and valid tool for understanding the underutilization of TCM preventive health services among older adults. A positive correlation with service utilization rates highlights its potential for guiding interventions.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Integrative Medicine (EuJIM) considers manuscripts from a wide range of complementary and integrative health care disciplines, with a particular focus on whole systems approaches, public health, self management and traditional medical systems. The journal strives to connect conventional medicine and evidence based complementary medicine. We encourage submissions reporting research with relevance for integrative clinical practice and interprofessional education.
EuJIM aims to be of interest to both conventional and integrative audiences, including healthcare practitioners, researchers, health care organisations, educationalists, and all those who seek objective and critical information on integrative medicine. To achieve this aim EuJIM provides an innovative international and interdisciplinary platform linking researchers and clinicians.
The journal focuses primarily on original research articles including systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, other clinical studies, qualitative, observational and epidemiological studies. In addition we welcome short reviews, opinion articles and contributions relating to health services and policy, health economics and psychology.
