“…Our findings support the observation reported in a study of college students and psychiatric outpatients (Clara et al, 2003) in which the correlated 3-factor model (first model), as well as the second order model with a single domain of overall perceived social support (fourth model), exhibited a satisfactory fit. In contrast to our findings, a study that examined the factor structure of the MSPSS in a sample of patients (N = 140) receiving treatment for stroke in Northern Nigeria (Mohammad et al, 2015) reported that the first-order bifactor model (second model) initially reported among elderly patients with generalized anxiety disorder (Stanley et al, 1998) had the best model fit indices (CFI = 0.955, RMSEA = 0.079).…”

The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) in terms of its factor structure, reliability, validity and measurement invariance across genders has not been examined among Nigerian adolescents. participants and procedureWe evaluated the psychometric properties and gender invariance of the MSPSS among Nigerian senior high school adolescents (N = 1335, M age = 15.15). Other study measures completed were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory (PANSI), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The four models of the MSPSS described in the literature were compared with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The model with the best fit indices was examined for its internal consistency by calculating the MacDonald's omega (ω) while criterion validity was examined through correlational analyses with other study measures. Measurement invariance in relation to gender was assessed with multigroup nested CFA. resultsOur results confirmed the original 3-factor structure of the MSPSS (Family, Significant others, and Friends). CFA showed that our data equivalently fitted the first (original first order 3-factor) and the fourth (second order 3-factor) MSPSS models. The reliability and criterion validity were satisfactory. Configural, metric and scalar measurement invariances in relation to genders were confirmed. conclusionsThe 3-factor MSPSS either in its original (first-order) or second-order model is useful as a perceived social support assessment instrument among Nigerian adolescents.

“…In reliability analysis, the internal consistency was 0.78. 33 The internal consistency of the measure was 0.93 (a) in this study. We used sociodemographic data, knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety, depression, and social support as independent variables and self-management as the dependent variable.…”

IntroductionPatients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) face multifaceted problems arising from complications of the disease and dialysis that require consistent and, effective self-management from the patients’ side, on top of the management offered by health care professionals. However, little is known about the level of self-management and influencing factors among patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis in the study area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess self-management and associated factors of patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis at health facilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional survey was used to recruit 169 patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis from six private health facilities between March and April 2016. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire inquiring about patients’ self-management and associated factors. Data were entered into EpiData Version 3.1 and analyzed using the descriptive, correlation, and logistic regression using the SPSS Version 22.0 statistical software.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 49.86±15.58 years. The majority of the respondents (69.8%) were male, and 65.7% of them were married. Half of the respondents (50.3%) had diploma and above educational level. The great majority of the respondents (93.5%) were on hemodialysis for less than 5 years, and 53.3% of them underwent dialysis twice a week. More than half (57.4%) of the patients had low levels of self-management. There were statistically significant positive associations between self-management and education (adjusted OR [AOR] =6.25, 95% CI =1.40, 27.85), knowledge (AOR =5.5, 95% CI =2.15, 14.03), and self-efficacy (AOR =4.73, 95% CI =1.95, 11.48), while there were statistically significant negative associations between self-management and anxiety (AOR =3.19, 95% CI =1.28, 7.95) and depression (AOR =2.68, 95% CI =1.01, 7.05, P<0.05).ConclusionPatients’ education, knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety, and depression were found to be independent predictors of self-management.

“…Elsewhere, the traditional Chinese 45 and Urdu (Pakistani) 46 versions of the MSPSS yielded a 1-factor structure, and both the Spanish 47 and Hausa (Nigerian) 48 translations yielded 2-factor structures. It is postulated that differences in culture influence ones' perception of the amount of social support rendered.…”

Background Providing care for a patient with cancer can negatively affect the health and psychosocial well-being of informal caregivers. However, social support has been enlisted as an essential buffer to stressful life events. There is now a greater call to routinely measure and provide support for caregivers and this is only feasible through use of validated outcome measures. The multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) is one of the most commonly used social support outcome measure. Consequently, the MSPSS has been translated into several languages and validated across several populations. The aim of the present study was to translate the MPSS to Shona (Zimbabwean native language) and validate it in caregivers of patients with cancer. Methods The MSPSS was translated to Shona using a backward-forward translation method, pretested on a group of caregivers (n = 10) before being administered to large sample (N = 126) at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to assess the structural validity of the MSPSS-Shona version. Reliability was assessed using the Cronbach's alpha. Results Data for 120 caregivers were analysed. Most were females (69.2%), had attained at least secondary education (81.7%) and married (75%). There was moderate evidence for structural validity for the 2-factor model and excellent evidence for internal consistency as the scale yielded α = 0.905. Conclusions Despite moderate evidence for structural validity, the translation of MSPSS into native languages (e.g. MSPSS-Shona) in low resource settings can be deemed as “steps in the right direction” for evidence based practise in management of cancer. There is also need for further psychometric evaluation of the MSPSS-Shona.
