本研究旨在评估LSNS-6的结构效度和内部一致性信度，并检验LSNS-6与中国大陆老年人自杀结局之间的关系。本验证研究使用了来自中国城乡老年人口抽样调查的北京市老年人的大代表性样本（N = 2819）。采用验证性因素分析（CFA）对LSNS-6中文版的因素结构进行分析。采用Cronbach’s α系数和修正的项目-总相关检验LSNS-6的内部一致性信度。采用Logistic回归分析探讨LSNS-6与中国大陆老年死亡意愿、自杀意念的关系。本研究表明，LSNS-6及其分量表具有良好的内部一致性和一致的因素结构。本研究结果显示，LSNS-6可以作为评估中国大陆老年人社交网络的有效工具。有趣的是，在中国大陆，晚年自杀倾向与LSNS-6家庭分量表高度相关，而不是朋友分量表。LSNS-6可以作为评估中国大陆老年人社交网络的有用工具。此外，建议改善社交网络，特别是家庭纽带和支持，作为一个有前途的战略，在减少中国大陆的晚年自杀风险。
This present study aims to estimate the structural validity, internal consistency reliability of the LSNS-6 and examine the associations between the LSNS-6 and suicidal outcomes among mainland Chinese older adults. This validation study used a big representative sample (N = 2819) of older adults in Beijing from the Sample Survey on Aged Population in Urban/Rural China. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were applied to examine the factor structures of the Chinese version of LSNS-6. Internal consistency reliability of the LSNS-6 was examined by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and the corrected item-total correlation. Logistic regression analyses were used to explore the associations between the LSNS-6 and late-life death wishes, suicidal ideation in mainland Chinese. This present study showed good internal consistency and consistent factor structure of the LSNS-6 as well as its subscales. The present data demonstrated the LSNS-6 could be a useful tool for assessing social networks among older mainland Chinese. Interestingly, among the mainland Chinese, late-life suicidality was highly associated with the LSNS-6 family subscale, rather than the friends subscale. The LSNS-6 could be a useful tool for assessing social networks among older mainland Chinese. In addition, suggestion is made to improve social networks, especially in family bonds and support, as a promising strategy in reducing late-life suicide risks in mainland China.
