ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Over the past decade, considerable evidence has been accumulated showing that social networks influence health. However few valid and reliable instruments exist for assessing social networks among elderly population. Therefore, we translated the Lubben social network scales (LSNS) and tested the validity and reliability of Korean version.METHODS:
Ten items, self-administered questionnaires were translated by multidisciplinary committee members. Also they were reverse translated by bilingual and modified from pretest procedure. Reliability was tested by 4 weeks testretest reliability and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha). Validity was tested by factor analysis and construct validity comparison with the Korean version of Duke-UNC and Korean Health Related Quality of Life Scale (KQOLS) were tested for validity testing.RESULTS:
Cronbach's alpha was 0.75. Four weeks test-retest Pearson coefficient was 0.78 (P < 0.0001). Correlation coefficient with the Korean version of Duke-UNC was 0.58 (P < 0.0001). Correlation coefficient with social function domain of KQOLS was 0.40 (P < 0.0001). Principal components analysis identified 3 factors. Three contents areas are family and friends networks, interdependent social support and living arrangements.CONCLUSION:
Korean version of LSNS is both valid and reliable instrument, but fine refinements will be needed to adapt for use in practical settings.
