Abstract

ABSTRACT The Three-Item Loneliness Scale (TIL Scale) is a widely used brief instrument for the assessment of loneliness. The aim of this study was to analyse the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the TIL Scale with data from two different studies. In Study 1, 1,536 adults between 18 and 88 years old completed a survey during the lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Study 2, 314 older adults between 60 and 92 years old were assessed prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant factor loadings were obtained through confirmatory factor analyses for both samples. Acceptable internal consistency was found for the scale in both samples. Positive associations between the TIL Scale and a single item measuring loneliness and depressive and anxious symptomatology were found. The findings provide support for the use of the TIL Scale with Spanish-speaking populations.

西班牙文版三项孤独量表的验证(西班牙文版三项孤独量表的验证)

三项孤独量表(TIL量表)是一种被广泛使用的简短的孤独感评估工具。本研究的目的是利用两项不同研究的数据分析西班牙语版TIL量表的心理测量特性。在研究1中，1536名18至88岁的成年人在COVID-19大流行导致的封锁期间完成了一项调查。在研究2中，在COVID-19大流行开始之前，对314名年龄在60至92岁之间的老年人进行了评估。通过验证性因子分析获得两个样本的显著因子负荷。在两个样品中发现了可接受的内部一致性。发现TIL量表与测量孤独、抑郁和焦虑症状的单项之间存在正相关。研究结果为在西班牙语人群中使用TIL量表提供了支持。
