The purpose was to examine the 8-item Inventory of Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA-8) among 61 emerging adults (ages 18-29) with the chronic condition of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
An online continence sample of participants' ages 18-29 years with a self-reported diagnosis of IBD completed a questionnaire including IDEA-8, demographic, and clinical characteristics.
The exploratory factor analysis identified a three-factor structure. The three subscales had acceptable internal consistency (α = .74-.86). Two factors (identity exploration/feeling in-between and instability) were associated with demographics. The factors were not associated with clinical characteristics.
Developmental features of emerging adults, as measured by the IDEA-8 for those with IBD, may retain conceptual consistency with healthy adults, but demonstrate a restructuring in factor analysis.
本研究旨在对61名患有炎症性肠病(IBD)这种慢性病的18 - 29岁的青年进行8项青年期新兴维度量表(IDEA - 8)测试。
通过在线方式选取了年龄在18 - 29岁、自我报告患有IBD的参与者作为样本,他们完成了一份包含IDEA - 8、人口统计学和临床特征的问卷。
探索性因素分析确定了一个三因素结构。这三个分量表具有可接受的内部一致性(α = 0.74 - 0.86)。两个因素(身份探索/处于中间状态的感觉和不稳定性)与人口统计学特征相关。这些因素与临床特征无关。
对于患有IBD的青年,通过IDEA - 8所测量的青年期发展特征可能与健康成年人在概念上保持一致,但在因素分析中表现出结构重组。
