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]编制居民网络功能促进卫生福利专科医生(SRNFEA)量表，并考察其信度和效度。[方法]调查对象为某卫生中心社区综合支持中心的1215个机构，调查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。调查期为2~3月。[结果]回收问卷1150份(36.1%)。条目和因素分析表明，网络量表由5个因素26个项目组成。因素依次为：与居民的关系(8项)、网络的基础(6项)、居民与社区的关系(4项)、联系居民的地方(3项)、当地居民的相互支持和信息交流(5项)。Cronbach的Alpha值为0.903，[结论]该量表具有较高的信度和效度，可用于卫生服务中心或社区综合支持中心区域网络功能的评估，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.
