“…The response to each item is given on a 5‐point scale (1 = impossible, 2 = a little, 3 = general, 4 = strong, 5 = completely). The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better QOL 21 . The internal reliability (Cronbach's α) coefficient of WHOQOL in this study was 0.843.…”

“…İnci and Temel found that resilience is effective at reducing complaints about physical pain and mental suffering from patients with stroke after surgical treatment and can alleviate care‐related fatigue among caregivers 47 . Caregivers with greater internal mental strength were reported to experience less pressure, engage in better decision‐making, and have enhanced QOL 21 . Thus, resilience is a critical psychological resource that can improve QOL among caregivers of inpatients with stroke.…”

“…Although the correlation between WHOQOL score and resilience has been examined among caregivers of stroke inpatients, the explanation of the linear relationship remains largely unknown 21 . It is therefore important to identify how resilience is supported by intervening measures aimed at reducing stress from caregiving and improving caregivers' QOL.…”

Positive effects of resilience and self‐efficacy on World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument score among caregivers of stroke inpatients in China

AimStroke is one of the major health challenges affecting life expectancy and quality of life around the world. However, there is limited reporting on the status of some caregivers, including Chinese caregivers of stroke inpatients. Limited information is available on evaluations using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL) and the effects of resilience and self‐efficacy on WHOQOL score. Therefore, we conducted research to assess the role of resilience on the WHOQOL and to investigate the role of self‐efficacy as a mediator between resilience and WHOQOL score among Chinese caregivers of stroke inpatients.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study to gather data from north‐east and south‐east China was conducted from June 2019 to October 2019. Over 380 caregivers of stroke inpatients at two general public hospitals were interviewed face‐to‐face. About 305 caregivers (80.26%) completed the questionnaire, which included the Ego Resilience Scale, the General Self‐Efficacy Scale, and the brief version of the WHOQOL and asked about demographic characteristics. This study also examined factors associated with WHOQOL score and used linear regression analysis and structure equation modelling to construct direct and indirect models, respectively.ResultsAfter adjustment for demographic characteristics, both resilience and self‐efficacy were positively associated with all WHOQOL domains. Structure equation modelling revealed that self‐efficacy mediated the relationship between resilience and WHOQOL score among caregivers of stroke inpatients.ConclusionChinese caregivers of stroke inpatients exhibited good social health but poor physical, psychological, and environmental health. It is necessary for promoting resilience and improving WHOQOL score through the mediating effect of self‐efficacy. These results suggest that interventions in health care focused on both enhancing resilience and providing self‐efficacy training could effectively improve WHOQOL score.

“…Frequency, percentage, means and standard deviations (SD) were used to describe socio-demographic characteristics of midwives. For the reliability of SHMS V1.0, the internal consistency and test-retest reliability were performed by Cronbach's alpha coe cient and Pearson correlation coe cient, with values of at least 0.70 indicating acceptable reliability [33]. For the validity of SHMS V1.0, project analysis (item-total correlation) was used to test the homogeneity of each dimension and subscale, with the correlation coe cient greater than 0.40 considered as acceptable homogeneity [30]; the concurrent validity was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis with FS-14, with the effect size as "Low" (the value of correlation coe cient varied around 0.1), "Medium" (the value of correlation coe cient varied around 0.30) and "Large" (the value of correlation coe cient varied more than 0.50) [34]; and the construct validity was performed by CFA, with the factor loadings being at least 0.40 indicating a su cient correlation [35].…”

Purpose Midwives with high work stress are prone to suboptimal health status (SHS). However, there is a lack of unified measurement standard for SHS. Sub-Health Measurement Scale V1.0 (SHMS V1.0) is a multidimensional inventory that has been proved to have adequate psychometric properties in other populations. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate validity and reliability of SHMS V1.0 in midwives.Methods In this cross-sectional study, 842 midwives from 46 midwifery institutions completed the SHMS V1.0. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability of SHMS V1.0 were assessed with Cronbach's alpha and Pearson correlation coefficient. Project analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to assess construct validity. Concurrent validity of SHMS V1.0 was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis with the 14-item Fatigue Scale (FS-14).Results The total Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability coefficient of SHMS V1.0 was 0.908 and 0.804, respectively. The correlation coefficients between each item and its corresponding dimension, and those between each dimension and its corresponding subscale were all greater than 0.4. The CFA supported the structure of SHMS V1.0 with strong factor loadings and excellent fit indexes in the first-order and modified second-order factor model. The concurrent validity for SHMS V1.0 showed large correlation with FS-14, but social subscale showed medium correlations with total fatigue, physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Conclusions The SHMS V1.0 is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring SHS for midwives. Given the severity and harmfulness of SHS in midwives, SHMS V1.0 is recommended as an important tool for clinical practice and research.

“…Therefore, they have a greater demand of core EF. The reliability index provided by the ordinal alpha [88][89][90][91] shows an acceptable level of internal consistency (α > 0.70). In summary, this preliminary study offers promising indicators of reliability and construct validity.…”

A Novel Tool to Assess Basic Activities of Daily Living in Spanish Preschoolers

Background: Basic activities of daily living (BADLs) are those related to self-care. Their performance depends on the development of sensorimotor and cognitive skills, as well as social and environmental aspects. A good performance in BADLs is required for independence and social participation, so they play an important role in early education and early care. We aim to create a tool for BADLs assessment for Spanish preschoolers. Methods: The tool was administered to 303 participants (48.5% boys and 51.5% girls) between three and six years of age. Analyses to find out the factorial structure and internal consistency was carried out. Results: The instrument was composed of 84 items in four scales (eating, personal hygiene, dressing, and daily functioning) with nine factors (oral sensitivity, good manners, manual dexterity, brushing teeth, toilet management, hygiene and grooming, dressing, higher-order and core executive function). Reliability values were from acceptable to preferred (0.74–0.94). Conclusions: The instrument could be useful and shows preliminary good indicators in construct validity and reliability.
