Although several scales have been designed to measure social capital, none have been specialized for caregivers of people with dementia, even though social capital is important in terms of continuing care provision. Therefore, we developed and validated a 17-item measure to assess social capital among caregivers of people with dementia. We assessed psychometric properties using responses from a questionnaire survey that included a draft of a social capital scale. Factor analysis identified three factors involving 17 items with a Cronbach's alpha of .85. The intra-class coefficient for test-retest reliability was .71. The correlation with positive aspects of caregiving was .62 (p < .01). The results suggest that our scale could be a useful tool to assess social capital among caregivers of people with dementia.
尽管已经设计了几种量表来衡量社会资本，但没有一种专门针对痴呆症患者照顾者的量表，尽管从持续护理的角度来看，社会资本很重要。因此，我们开发并验证了一个包含 17 个项目的量表，用于评估痴呆症患者照顾者的社会资本。我们使用包含社会资本量表草案的问卷调查的回答来评估心理测量特性。因素分析确定了三个涉及 17 个项目的因素，克朗巴赫的α值为.85。重测信度的组内系数为.71。与照顾积极方面的相关性为.62(p<.01)。结果表明，我们的量表可以成为评估痴呆症患者照顾者社会资本的有用工具。
