We revised the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS) to develop a measure of social support specific to residential long-term care (LTC) settings, the LSNS-LTC with five domains (i.e., family, friends, residents, volunteers, and staff).
The authors modified the LSNS-18 to capture sources of social support specific to LTC, specifically relationships with residents, volunteers, and staff. We piloted the resultant 28-item measure with 64 LTC residents. Fifty-four respondents provided adequate information for analyses that included descriptive statistics and reliability coefficients.
Twenty of the items performed well (had correlations >0.3, overall α = 0.85) and were retained. Three items required modification. The five items related to volunteers were eliminated due to extensive (>15%) missing data resulting in a proposed 23-item measure.
We identified, and to some degree quantified, supportive relationships within the LTC environment, while developing a self-report tool to measure social support in these settings.
我们修订了鲁本社会网络量表（LSNS），以开发一种专门针对长期护理（LTC）机构的社会支持测量工具，即具有五个领域（即家人、朋友、居民、志愿者和工作人员）的LSNS-LTC。
作者修改了LSNS-18，以获取长期护理特有的社会支持来源，特别是与居民、志愿者和工作人员的关系。我们对64名长期护理居民试用了由此产生的28项测量工具。54名受访者提供了足够的信息用于分析，包括描述性统计和信度系数。
20个项目表现良好（相关性>0.3，总体α=0.85）并被保留。3个项目需要修改。与志愿者相关的5个项目因大量（>15%）数据缺失而被删除，从而形成了一个提议的23项测量工具。
我们识别并在一定程度上量化了长期护理环境中的支持性人际关系，同时开发了一种自我报告工具来测量这些环境中的社会支持。
