“…Ultimately, the presence of a support network for older adults will facilitate the development of protective factors surrounding physical and mental health, which will improve their quality of life and allow them to enjoy this period of life. This study focused on perceived social support, that is referred to how older adults assess their access to instrumental and/or expressive provisions [17], and it also aims to differentiate between sources of support for older adults that tend, in general, to be lost and reduced with age [6], which would allow generating interventions focused on maintaining active social relations in this stage of life.…”

“…These studies have certain aspects in common that represents limitations. All of them use exploratory factor analysis (EFA), which must be complemented or replaced by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) [6], which only Arechabala's research performed. They used samples below the suggested standards [36] and focus on the clinical population.…”

“…This contributed to the creation and validation of instruments that measured this construct. Some well-known instruments to measure social support are ISEL-12 (Interpersonal Support Evaluation List), the Social Support Questionnaire, Social Provisions Scale, and the Multidimension Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) [ 6 ].…”

“…Regarding physical illnesses, research shows it can significantly affect the presence of anxiety and depression in older adults [5][6][7]. Likewise, chronic illnesses tend to go hand in hand with disability and functional difficulties, which reduces activity and increases social isolation, which is a risk for older adults [8].…”

Background Given the relevance of social support on the mental health of older adults, having an instrument to evaluate this variable is essential for research in the area. However, mainly, having instruments with suitable evidence of their psychometric properties is critical. For this reason, this study sought to evaluate the factorial and reliability structure of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support within autonomous older adults from the Province of Concepción, Chile. Methods We surveyed 399 older adults using quote sampling. They answered a Spanish version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, plus a sociodemographic questionnaire. We performed confirmatory factor analysis using Weighted Least Squares Means and Variances adjusted estimation (WLSMV) to compare the factor models proposes by previous studies. To evaluate reliability, we calculated Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega. Results The Confirmatory factor analysis found that the 3-factors models showed the best fist index between the models with CFI = 0.991, TLI = 0.989, and SRMR = 0.035, even though RMSEA were over the cutoff point. The factors presented reliabilities from α = 0.858 to α = 0.941, and from ω = 0.937 to ω = 0.972. Conclusions The results support the existence of three factors for the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), differentiating the support perceived from Family, Friends, and significant others. All factors present good or excellent reliability. This solution is theoretically consistent and coherent with the literature, and it presents evidence in favor of the use of MSPSS as a measurement to distinguish the support perceived source.
