Compassion Scale

The study aimed to adapt and analyze the factor structure of the scale of self-compassion in the Indonesian language. The initial steps included back-to-back translation, focus group discussion and expert judgements. From this procedure, thirteen additional items were added to the original self-compassion scale. The thirty-nine final items were tested to 483 samples from three different groups (undergraduate students, young and adult, mid and late adult). Findings support self-compassion as total score and six sub scale score based on ESEM bi factor analysis. However based on the overall results, for Indonesia uses, the authors suggested the structure data of self-compassion scale is a hierarchical two-factors model with the final items of this scale are 35 items, where the two factors are positive aspect and negative aspect. The positive dimension had 0.901 of Cronbach’s Alpha reliability and the negative dimension had 0.913 of Cronbach’s Alpha reliability. The positive one consists of self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Meanwhile, the negative one consists of self-judgement, isolation, and over-identification.

Adaptation of a psychological instrument is essential due to cultural difference and context. This study aimed to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) in an Indonesian context. The initial steps included back-to-back translation, focus group discussion, expert judgements, and pilot study. From this procedure, five additional items were added to the original GC-6. The eleven final items were tested to 404 undergraduate students aged 18-24 years-old from several universities in Jakarta. The reliability test, the internal consistency, was examined by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, while the validity test, construct validity, was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA).  The result of analysis showed good validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.789). This study concluded that 11-item gratitude questionnaire consistently measured gratitude in adolescents based on two factors: appreciation to the constant  experience of life and appreciation towards individuals that take part in one’s life.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Indonesian version of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), a measure self-compassion. Participants were 681 undergraduate students (17-22 years old) at the Faculty of Psychology University of Surabaya. The accidental sampling technique was used as a method of data collection by asking the participants' willingness to be involved in this study by filling in the research informed consent. The confirmatory factor analysis, composite reliability, and correlations were used to examine the factor structure, reliability, and criterion validity. The results found that the six-factor hierarchy model with self-compassion and self-criticism as the main dimensions are the best factor structures and have good internal consistency. The correlations between Indonesian version of the SCS with other measurements proved that Indonesian version of the SCS has a good criterion validity. The result suggests that Indonesian version of the SCS was a valid and reliable measurement tools to measure the self-compassion in Indonesian samples.Keywords: criterion validity; factor structure; reliability; SCS; self-compassion AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji properti psikometri dari Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) versi Indonesia yang mengukur self-compassion.

Welas diri (self-compassion) merupakan sebuah sikap yang sehat terhadap diri dan berkaitan dengan kesehatan mental.Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) merupakan instrumen yang umum digunakan untuk mengukur welas diri, tetapi belum ada penelitian yang melihat kualitas psikometrik dari adaptasi SCS Bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan adaptasi dan uji psikometrik SCS Bahasa Indonesia. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah 329 mahasiswa aktif di salah satu universitas di Jakarta dan sekitarnya yang direkrut dengan convenience sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah SCS yang diadaptasi ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan diberi nama Skala Welas Diri (SWD). Berdasarkan hasil uji psikometrik menggunakan confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), uji validitas konstruk, dan koefisien Cronbach’s Alpha, ditemukan bahwa SWD memiliki validitas dan reliabilitas yang baik, serta memiliki model teoretis yang sama dengan SCS. Disimpulkan bahwa SWD dapat digunakan sebagai skala yang mumpuni untuk mengukur welas diri.

Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure

The current study examined psychometric properties of the Japanese version of Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale (AMAS-ZABB-JP) and the 20-item Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM-JP) with 273 Japanese sojourners and immigrants to the United States. The theoretical six-factor structure for the AMAS-JP and two-factor structure for the MEIM-JP was consistent with the literature. The subscales of the AMAS and MEIM showed expected patterns of correlation with each other and with additional variables (i.e., number of years in the United States), providing evidence for construct validity. Cronbach’s alpha reflected high levels of reliability for both scales. Despite strong psychometric findings, there were translational and cultural-based findings that suggest the need for further research.

Background: Guy’s Neurological Disability Scale (GNDS) is designed to assess disability (i.e. activity limitations) in patients with multiple sclerosis. It contains 12 functional domains, each indicating a level of disability. Four domain scores and a total score can be calculated. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural validity of the GNDS in a Dutch population who were definitely diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis. Methods: Data of 974 patients were available. The structural validity of the GNDS was evaluated by confirmatory item factor analysis (CIFA). Two first-order models and two bifactor models were investigated. Results: The best fitted model was a bifactor model with a general factor underlying all items, and 10 items loading on 3 group factors. Cronbach’s alpha on the general factor (0.78) and on the group factor spinal-plus (0.74) were satisfying. Cronbach’s alpha on the group factors mental (0.56) and bulbar (0.48) were low. Reliability based on CIFA was 0.85. Conclusion: Results showed a clear factor structure of the GNDS. It justifies the use of the total score of the GNDS. In addition, three sub-scale scores could be used.

Compassion Scale

Abstract. Self-compassion is associated with greater well-being and lower psychopathology. There are mixed findings regarding the factor structure and scoring of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). Using confirmatory factor analysis, we tested and conducted nested comparisons of six previously posited factor structures of the SCS. Participants were N = 1,158 Canadian undergraduates (72.8% women, 26.6% men, 0.6% non-binary; Mage = 19.0 years, SD = 2.3). Results best supported a two-factor hierarchical model with six lower-order factors. A general self-compassion factor was not supported at the higher- or lower-order levels; thus, a single total score is not recommended. Given the hierarchical structure, researchers are encouraged to use structural equation models of the SCS with two latent variables: self-caring and self-coldness. A strength of this study is the large sample, while the undergraduate sample may limit generalizability.

Patient Enablement

Background: The purpose of our study was to develop and psychometrically test a German-language survey instrument that measures patient enablement generically and in greater detail than previous instruments. Methods: A multidisciplinary team developed 13 items to capture individual aspects of patient enablement (PEN-13). A pre-test with 26 subjects was followed by a random sample survey of N = 1168 subjects. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted in a random split-half sample of the data to explore PEN-13’s factor structure; a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in the validation sample. The internal consistency of the factors was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha, PEN-13’s construct validity was checked by means of additional hypothesis testing. Results: The two factors self-management and patient-practitioner interaction, detected in the exploratory analysis, were confirmed with a few modifications in the confirmatory factor analysis, with the comparative fit index (CFI) amounting to 0.903. The Cronbach’s alpha values of those two factors amounted to α = 0.90 and α = 0.82, respectively. The correlations of the PEN-13 score with the ’general self-efficacy’ and ’health literacy’ (HLS-EU-Q16) scores further confirmed its construct validity; the respective correlation coefficients amounted to 0.57 and 0.60. Conclusion: The German version of the survey instrument Patient Enablement Scale—13 items (PEN-13) shows acceptable psychometric properties. Practical implications: PEN-13 seems particularly suitable for health services research purposes. We recommend checking the results in another sample as well as evaluating its responsiveness to enablement-enhancing interventions.

Simulation Evaluation

Background and objective: Globally, the use of clinical simulation has been incorporated in different nursing programs. It is important to evaluate simulation using reliable and valid instruments. Using the same instrument helps to evaluate simulation under the same criteria both nationally and internationally. The National League of Nursing developed three simulation scales which is widely used in different countries and demonstrates a good reliability and validity. Nevertheless, it is only available in English. The aim of the study was to translate the original NLN simulation evaluation scales into Traditional Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties.Methods: Beaton and colleague’s (2000) cross-cultural adaptation guidelines was adopted. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) and Corrected item-total correlation was used to determine the internal reliability. Haccoun’s single group technique was used to assess the equivalent of the scale in the original and the translated version. Lastly, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to determine the factor structure and Intra-Class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) to test the stability of translated scale.Results: Nine simulation experts from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and Taiwan confirmed translation of the NLN scales (EPQ-C, SDS-C, SSCL-C). Cronbach’s alpha of all subscales and overall scales were acceptable (0.72-0.89). The intra-language, inter-language and temporal inter-language cross correlations between the original and translated scales were correlated (p < 0.01). ICC of the translated scales ranges from good to excellent (0.78-0.91). Lastly, EFA also demonstrated the items were theoretically coherent (≥ 0.40) and have the same factor structure as the original English version.Conclusions: Traditional Chinese NLN simulation evaluation scales demonstrated strong validity and reliability.

This study identified the readiness factors that may create challenges in the use of telemedicine among patients in northern Louisiana with cancer. To identify these readiness factors, the team of investigators developed 19 survey questions that were provided to the patients or to their caregivers. The team collected responses from 147 respondents from rural and urban residential backgrounds. These responses were used to identify the individuals’ readiness for utilising telemedicine through factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha reliability test, analysis of variance and ordinary least squares regression. The analysis results indicated that the favourable factor (positive readiness item) had a mean value of 3.47, whereas the unfavourable factor (negative readiness item) had a mean value of 2.76. Cronbach’s alpha reliability test provided an alpha value of 0.79. Overall, our study indicated a positive attitude towards the use of telemedicine in northern Louisiana.
