Abstract

The objectives were to translate the University of Jyvaskyla Active Aging Scale (UJACAS) to Swedish, to establish semantic equivalence and evaluate psychometric properties for use among persons 55 years and older in Sweden. The UJACAS contains 17 items to be self-assessed regarding goals, abilities, opportunity, and activity. Psychometric properties content validity, data quality including floor and ceiling effects, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity were evaluated with different samples in three phases, using state-of-the-art statistics. After translating and establishing semantic equivalence, content validity was assessed as high. With ICC = 0.88 (95% CI 0.80-0.93) test-retest reliability was moderate. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach alpha = 0.84-0.91), and 84% of the questions reached the cut-off value of 0.3 for corrected item-total correlation. Construct validity hypotheses were confirmed. Results indicate that the UJACAS is reliable and valid for use among persons 55 and older in Sweden.

瑞典耶瓦斯基拉大学积极老龄化量表（UJACAS）的翻译和心理测量评估。

研究的目的是将耶瓦斯基拉大学积极老龄化量表（UJACAS）翻译成瑞典语，建立语义等同性并评估其心理测量特性，以便在瑞典 55 岁及以上人群中使用。UJACAS 包含 17 个项目，用于对目标、能力、机会和活动进行自我评估。心理测量特性的内容效度、数据质量（包括下限效应和上限效应）、重复测试可靠性、内部一致性和构造效度均采用最先进的统计方法，分三个阶段对不同样本进行了评估。在翻译和建立语义等效性之后，内容效度被评估为高。ICC = 0.88 (95% CI 0.80-0.93)，测试重复可靠性为中等。内部一致性较高（Cronbach alpha = 0.84-0.91），84%的问题达到了校正项目-总相关性 0.3 的临界值。结构效度假设得到了证实。结果表明，在瑞典 55 岁及以上人群中使用 UJACAS 是可靠和有效的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology is an international and interdisciplinary journal providing a forum for scholarly discussion of the aging process and issues of the aged throughout the world. The journal emphasizes discussions of research findings, theoretical issues, and applied approaches and provides a comparative orientation to the study of aging in cultural contexts The core of the journal comprises a broad range of articles dealing with global aging, written from the perspectives of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, psychology, population studies, health/biology, etc. We welcome articles that examine aging within a particular cultural context, compare aging and older adults across societies, and/or compare sub-cultural groupings or ethnic minorities within or across larger societies. Comparative analyses of topics relating to older adults, such as aging within socialist vs. capitalist systems or within societies with different social service delivery systems, also are appropriate for this journal. With societies becoming ever more multicultural and experiencing a `graying'' of their population on a hitherto unprecedented scale, the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology stands at the forefront of one of the most pressing issues of our times.
