Creation of a Scale of Residents Network Function to Enhance Access to health and welfare Specialist and investigation of its reliability and validity

[目的]本研究的目的是编制居民网络功能量表，以提高居民对卫生福利专家的可及性，并对其信度和效度进行调查。[方法]对调查对象机构进行随机抽样，从某卫生院社区综合支持中心共抽取1215家机构。研究对象为在卫生中心和社区综合支持中心工作的公共卫生护士。调查时间为2010年2月~ 3月。[结果]回收问卷1150份，占36.1%。项目和因子分析表明，网络量表由5个因素和26个项目组成。“与居民的关系”（8项）、“网络基础”（6项）、“居民与phn的关系”（4项）、“连接居民的地方”（3项）、“当地居民的相互支持和信息交流”（5项）。Cronbach’s alpha值为0.903，信度较高。[结论]所得结果证明了包含5个因素的The Network的信度和效度。结论：该量表可用于评价卫生中心或社区综合支持中心的区域网络功能，以提高居民的可及性。

[Purpose]The purpose of this research was to develop a Scale of Residents Network Function to Enhance Access to health and welfare Specialist(SRNFEA),and to investigate its reliability and validity.[Methods]The object institutions of investigation carried out random sampling of a total of 1215 institutions from a health center Community Comprehensive Support Center.The objects were Public Health Nurses(PHNs) working at health centers and Community Comprehensive Support Centers.Investigation period was in February～March, 2010.[Result]The number of returned questionnaires were 1150 (36.1%).Item and factor analyses showed the Network Scale to consist of 5 factors and 26 items.The factors were :"relation with residents" (eight items), "foundation of network" (six items), "relationship between residents and PHNs" (four items), "the place that link residents" (three items),and "mutual supports of local residents and information exchange" (five items).The Cronbach's alpha values ranged 0.903, and this was high reliability.[Conclusion]The results obtained proved the reliability and validity of The Network containing 5 factors.「Conclusion」The Scales could thus be used for evaluate the network function of the area in a health center or Community Comprehensive Support Center, in order to raise residents' access.
