Chronic disease self-management is complex and multidimensional. Optimal performance of self-management behaviors requires support from patient's friends, family, and significant others. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) is a 12-item questionnaire used to measure patient's social support from friends, family, and significant others.
To examine the psychometric properties of the MSPSS in patients with comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF).
Reliability, factorial validity, and construct validity of the MSPSS were examined using Cronbach's alpha, split-half reliability, factor analysis via principal components analysis and hypothesis testing via multivariate linear regression, respectively.
The MSPSS demonstrated excellent internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha consistently above 0.90. Factor analysis yielded a 3-factor solution, with items loading appropriately on the Friend, Family and Significant Other subscales.
The MSPSS is a reliable, valid instrument to measure perceived social support in patients with comorbid COPD and HF.
慢性病自我管理较为复杂,具有多维性。要想实现自我管理行为的最佳效果,患者需要得到朋友、家人和重要他人的支持。多维感知社会支持量表(MSPSS)是一种 12 项问卷,用于衡量患者从朋友、家人和重要他人处获得的社会支持。
在合并患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)和心力衰竭(HF)的患者中,检验 MSPSS 的心理测量特性。
采用 Cronbach's alpha、分半信度、主成分分析因子分析和多元线性回归假设检验分别检验 MSPSS 的信度、因子有效性和结构有效性。
MSPSS 具有极好的内部一致性,Cronbach's alpha 始终高于 0.90。因子分析产生了 3 因子解决方案,项目适当地加载在朋友、家庭和重要他人分量表上。
MSPSS 是一种可靠、有效的工具,可用于衡量合并 COPD 和 HF 的患者的感知社会支持。
