The items of the scale were screened by item analysis, the ontent validity and structure validity were used to evaluate the validity of the scale. Cronbach's α coefficient and split half reliability coefficient were used to evaluate the reliability of the scale.Results:A total of 216 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 209 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.759% (209/216). The Supportive Service Demand Scale for Family Caregivers of Disabled Elderly People included 17 items in four dimensions. Four common factors were extracted from exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.248%. The content validity index at the average scale level was 0.983, the content validity index at the overall consistency scale level was 0.822, and the content validity index at the item level of the scale was 0.857-1.000. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.875 and the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.760.Conclusions:The Supportive Service Demand Scale for Family Caregivers of the Disabled Elderly has good reliability and validity, which can be used as an effective tool to evaluate the supportive service demand of family caregivers of the disabled elderly .
