While several elder abuse screens exist, few measure risk and none target long-term support services. The aims were to examine the psychometric properties of the Weinberg Center Risk and Abuse Prevention Screen (WC-RAPS), comparing approaches to modeling self-reported risk and abuse in relation to reported Adult Protective Services contacts.
The sample (n = 7,035), admissions to managed long-term care (79%) and short-term rehabilitation (20%), was primarily (66%) female, with mean age 77.6 (SD = 9.10); 7% each were African American and Latino and 12% Asian. Latent variable models were used to examine measurement properties of six indicators of abuse and five of risk.
Good model fit and stable subscale measurement models were observed across analyses. Reliability was >0.80 across methods, and concurrent criterion validity estimates were as expected.
Evidence supported the reliability and concurrent criterion validity of the risk and abuse subscales in an ethnically diverse cohort.
虽然有几个虐待老人的筛查工具，但很少有工具能衡量风险，也没有专门针对长期支持服务的工具。本研究旨在探讨 Weinberg 中心风险和虐待预防筛查工具（WC-RAPS）的心理测量学特性，比较建模自我报告风险和虐待与报告的成人保护服务接触的方法。
样本（n=7035）包括接受长期管理护理（79%）和短期康复（20%）的患者，主要为女性（66%），平均年龄为 77.6（SD=9.10）；7%为非裔美国人，7%为拉丁裔，12%为亚裔。使用潜在变量模型来检验五种风险指标和六种虐待指标的测量特性。
在各项分析中，均观察到良好的模型拟合度和稳定的分量表测量模型。在不同方法中，可靠性均>0.80，同时效标效度估计符合预期。
在种族多样化的队列中，风险和虐待分量表的可靠性和同时效标效度得到了支持。
