Abstract

Objectives To develop and assess the reliability and validity of a scale measuring subjective quality of life (QOL), which encompasses the "strength and ability" to live positively through the three dimensions of biological life, everyday life, and overall course of life, in order to support QOL in older adults.Methods We reviewed related literature and conducted interviews with patients with chronic diseases. Participants rated their QOL on a seven-point scale using the visual analog scale. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 100 older adults living in their own homes. The participants were between the ages of 70 and 84, and were recruited from comprehensive community support centers or from among hospital outpatients. We assessed scale reliability using Cronbach's α, item-total (I-T) correlation analysis, and calculation of α coefficient-if-item-deleted. We examined content validity by analyzing the content of the free response items. To evaluate construct validity, we carried out a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, examined the semantic content of the factors related to subjective QOL, and confirmed consistency with previous studies.Results Regarding the reliability analysis of the scale, the α coefficient was 0.898, and both the I-T correlation and α coefficient-if-item-deleted exceeded the minimum value considered reliable. In examining content validity, the categories extracted for each of the three dimensions were found to demonstrate the characteristics of the general ideas of each dimension of QOL. Thus, the scale was confirmed to have overall content validity. As for the assessment of validity of its constitutive concepts, subjective QOL scores were significantly high among participants who had jobs, had role-related or financial capacity, used two or more nursing services, or scored high in perceived health competence, social networking, and sense of coherence (SOC). In addition, "meaningfulness" of SOC, and financial capacity had significant correlations with subjective QOL. These results are consistent with past research and therefore confirm construct validity.Conclusion This study sufficiently confirmed the reliability and validity of the scale, and consequently its usability.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 April 2021.
All research outputs
#21,049,824
of 25,852,155 outputs
Outputs from [Nippon kōshū eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health
#228
of 457 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#349,372
of 455,593 outputs
Outputs of similar age from [Nippon kōshū eisei zasshi] Japanese journal of public health
#4
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,852,155 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 457 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 455,593 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
