老人的社会孤立可以通过促进社区层面的沟通或互助来预防。当地志愿者对老年邻居的帮助可能与他们的社区承诺（CC）有关，但尚未确定衡量CC的方法。本研究旨在编制社区承诺量表（Community Commitment Scale，CCS），以测量社区志愿者的社区归属感和社会化程度，为预防老年人社会隔离的研究提供依据。我们还在老年人的一般人群中测试了CCS。对266名日本城市居民进行了一项试验，以检查24个确定项目的表面效度，其中12个项目被选为CCS，基于4点Likert型量表。CCS开发通过自我报告问卷调查859当地志愿者在两个郊区城市和3484随机抽样的一般居民年龄在55岁或以上的生活在其中一个城市。为了评估同时效度，使用社区简明量表（Peterson; 2008）和两种类型的关于帮助老年邻居的自我效能的单一问题收集数据。项目分析和因子分析确定了8个项目，在当地志愿者和一般居民的“归属感”和“社会化”领域的两个数据集之间进行分类。Cronbach α（传达CCS的内部一致性）在当地志愿者中为0.75，在一般居民中为0.78。本地志愿者的CCS和BSCS得分之间的相关系数为0.54，一般居民为0.62。方差分析比较了两种类型的单一问题的自我效能感之间的置信水平的CCS帮助老年邻居显示了很强的关系，在志愿者和居民。这些结果表明，可以接受的内部一致性和并发效度的CCS，与两个维度“归属感”和“社交”，在当地志愿者和一般居民在日本城市地区。社区承诺测量的CCS的程度相关的自我效能感的信心，帮助老年邻居，以防止老年人的社会孤立。
Elderly social isolation could be prevented by facilitating communication or mutual helping at the neighborhood level. The helping of elderly neighbors by local volunteers may relate to their community commitment (CC), but ways to measure CC have not been identified. The aim of the present study was to develop a Community Commitment Scale (CCS) to measure psychological sense of belonging and socializing in the community among local volunteers, for research in prevention of elderly social isolation. We also tested the CCS in a general population of the elderly. A pilot test of 266 Japanese urban residents was conducted to examine face validity for 24 identified items, of which 12 items were selected for the CCS, based on a 4-point Likert-type scale. The CCS was developed via self-report questionnaires to 859 local volunteers in two suburban cities and to 3484 randomly sampled general residents aged 55 years or older living in one of the cities. To assess concurrent validity, data were collected using the Brief Sense of Community Scale (Peterson; 2008) and two types of single questions on self-efficacy for helping elderly neighbors. Item analysis and factor analysis identified 8 items, which were classified between two datasets under the domains of “belonging” and “socializing” in the local volunteers and the general residents. Cronbach’s alpha (which conveyed the internal consistency of the CCS) was 0.75 in local volunteers and 0.78 in general residents. The correlation coefficients between the scores of the CCS and BSCS were 0.54 for local volunteers and 0.62 for general residents. ANOVA comparing the CCS between the confidence levels of the two types of single question of self-efficacy on helping elderly neighbors showed a strong relationship in the volunteers and residents. These results demonstrate acceptable internal consistency and concurrent validity for the CCS, with the two dimensions “belonging” and “socializing”, among the local volunteers and general residents in urban Japanese areas. Community commitment measured by the CCS was related to the degree of confidence for self-efficacy in helping elderly neighbors to prevent elderly social isolation.
