To evaluate and synthesize psychometric properties of the MOS-SSS and to identify quality versions of MOS-SSS for use in future research and practice.
A psychometric systematic review.
Articles about the translation, adaptation, or validation of the MOS-SSS in Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science and their reference lists published before 11 November 2022.
The review followed the Consensus Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments guidelines.
The review included 35 articles. Eleven versions of MOS-SSS (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, and 22 items) have been validated in various populations and 13 languages. Of 14 studies developing a translated version of MOS-SSS, four studies performed both an experts' evaluation of content validity and a face validity test; two studies reported translation evaluation in the form of a content validity index. Of 35 studies, six performed both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis for structural validity; hypotheses and measurements for construct validity testings were often not clearly stated; two examined criterion validity; and four assessed cross-cultural validity. Internal consistency reliabilities were commonly examined by calculating Cronbach's alpha and reported satisfactory. Five studies analysed test-retest reliabilities using intra correlation coefficient. Methodological concerns exist.
The English 19-item, Farsi Persian 19-item, and Vietnamese 19-item versions are recommended for future use in research and practice. Italian 19-item and Malaysian 13-item versions are not recommended to be used in future research and practice. All other versions considered in this review have potential use in future research and practice. Proper procedures for developing a translated version of MOS-SSS and validating the scale are recommended.
The review identified quality versions of MOS-SSS to measure social support in future research and practice. The study also indicated methodological issues in current validation studies. Application of the study findings and recommendations can be useful to improve outcome measurement quality and maximize the efficiency of resource use in future research and practice.
This systematic review synthesized the evidence from previous research and did not involve any human participation.
评估和综合 MOS-SSS 的心理测量学特性，并确定 MOS-SSS 的优质版本，以供未来的研究和实践使用。
心理测量学系统评价。
在 Medline、PubMed、CINAHL 和 Web of Science 中检索有关 MOS-SSS 的翻译、改编或验证的文章，并检索截至 2022 年 11 月 11 日出版的这些文章的参考文献。
该评价遵循健康测量工具选择的共识标准指南。
该评价纳入了 35 篇文章。MOS-SSS 有 11 个版本（3、4、5、6、8、12、13、16、18、19 和 22 个项目）已经在不同人群和 13 种语言中得到了验证。在 14 项研究中，有 4 项研究对 MOS-SSS 的翻译版本进行了专家评估和内容有效性测试；有 2 项研究报告了以内容有效性指数形式进行的翻译评估。在 35 项研究中，有 6 项研究进行了结构有效性的探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析；构建有效性测试的假设和测量通常没有明确说明；有 2 项研究检验了效标有效性；有 4 项研究评估了跨文化有效性。内部一致性信度通常通过计算克朗巴赫 α 进行检验，并报告结果令人满意。有 5 项研究使用内部相关性系数分析了重测信度。存在方法学问题。
建议在未来的研究和实践中使用英语 19 项、波斯语 19 项和越南语 19 项版本。不建议在未来的研究和实践中使用意大利语 19 项和马来西亚语 13 项版本。本评价中考虑的所有其他版本都有可能在未来的研究和实践中使用。建议采用适当的程序来开发 MOS-SSS 的翻译版本并验证该量表。
本评价确定了 MOS-SSS 的优质版本，以在未来的研究和实践中测量社会支持。该研究还指出了当前验证研究中的方法学问题。本研究结果和建议的应用可以提高未来研究和实践中结果测量的质量，并最大限度地提高资源利用效率。
本系统评价综合了以往研究的证据，不涉及任何人类参与。
