Abstract
Objectives: This study compiled a Social Support Needs Questionnaire (SSNQ) for the left-behind older adults in rural China and assessed its psychometric properties. Methods: The formation of the SSNQ included three stages. First, item pool was established based on literature analysis. Second, through expert consultation, the 1-version questionnaire items were determined. Third, pre-survey with 901 cases of rural left-behind older adults was used to develop and test final-version of the Social Support Needs Questionnaire (SSNQ). Results: The Cronbach's α of the SSNQ was 0.914, ranging from 0.815 to 0.886 for each factor. The item-content validity index ranged from 0.875 to 1.00, and the scale-content validity index was 0.969. Conclusions: The SSNQ prepared by this study can be used as an evaluation tool for the social support needs of left-behind older adults in rural China, providing a basis for further establishment of the social support system.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
