ABSTRACT
Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the sense of coherence (SOC) scale (13-items) among the older people.Methods A random sample of 1 032 old adults was selected from community in Jinzhou,Shenyang,Dalian of Liaoning.A demographic questionnaire,the SOC-13 scale,the WHO-5 and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to collect the data.All the data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0 and AMOS17.0.Results The item-total correlation coefficients of SOC-13 ranged from 0.625 to 0.760 (P< 0.01).The result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was that three factors explained 74.745% of the total variances,and the CFA confirmed the hypothesized three-factor model.SOC scale had an ideal criterion(x2/df =2.908,CFI =0.975,GFI =0.949,NFI =0.963,IFI=0.975,RMSEA=0.061).Criterion related validity test showed that the total score of SOC-13 was negatively correlated with CES-D(r=-0.55,P<0.01),and positively correlated with WHO-5 (r=0.73,P< 0.01).SOC-1 3 had a Cronbach's α of 0.916,the Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.828,and the retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient,ICC) was 0.872 (P<0.01).Conclusion SOC-13 is a reliable and valid instrument,which can be used to measure the lever of sense of coherence among Chinese old adults.
