虽然已经设计了几个尺度来衡量社会资本，没有专门为痴呆症患者的照顾者，即使社会资本是重要的持续护理提供。因此，我们开发并验证了一个17项措施，以评估痴呆症患者的照顾者之间的社会资本。我们评估了心理测量属性使用的问卷调查，其中包括社会资本规模的草案。因子分析确定了三个因素，涉及17个项目的克朗巴赫的α为0.85。重测信度的组内系数为0.71。与积极方面的相关性为0.62（p <0.01）。结果表明，我们的规模可能是一个有用的工具，以评估社会资本之间的照顾者痴呆症患者。(C)2020爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Although several scales have been designed to measure social capital, none have been specialized for caregivers of people with dementia, even though social capital is important in terms of continuing care provision. Therefore, we developed and validated a 17-item measure to assess social capital among caregivers of people with dementia. We assessed psychometric properties using responses from a questionnaire survey that included a draft of a social capital scale. Factor analysis identified three factors involving 17 items with a Cronbach's alpha of .85. The intra-class coefficient for test-retest reliability was .71. The correlation with positive aspects of caregiving was .62 (p < .01). The results suggest that our scale could be a useful tool to assess social capital among caregivers of people with dementia.
