Abstract:
Objective:To explore the reliability and validity of the community commitment scale (CCS) in community-dwelling elderly people.Methods:From May to August in 2020, a total of 526 community-dwelling elderly were investigated by community commitment scale, community's self-efficacy scale for preventing social isolation (CSES). SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 22.0 softwares were used to analyze the reliability and validity.Results:The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the community commitment scale was 0.818, and the Cronbach's α coefficients of social and belonging dimensions were 0.750 and 0.777, respectively. The Guttman split-half reliability coefficients were 0.799-0.835, and the test-retest reliability was 0.802. Each item-to-total score correlations were 0.614-0.753 (all P<0.05). The item level content validity index (I-CVI) was 0.830-1.000, the scale level content validity index (S-CVI/UA) was 0.875, and the average content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.972. Two common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 57.019%. The confirmatory factor analysis all indicators reached the adaptation standard (χ 2/ df=2.638, RMSEA=0.079, GFI=0.957, AGFI=0.918, TLI=0.936, CFI=0.956, IFI=0.957), and standardized regression coefficients were 0.63-0.80. Conclusion:The Chinese version of the community commitment scale has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate the social isolation of the elderly in the community.
