Overview

Rasch analysis evaluates psychometric properties of the K-SHSE in older adults, indicating its reliability and validity.

Key Points

  • The final Korean Social Health Scale for the Elderly retains 15 items across three domains, ensuring strong measurement properties.
  • Rasch analysis demonstrated acceptable reliability in the Social Support domain, while Social Adjustment and Perceived Environmental Resources showed limited discriminative ability.
  • Four items exhibited significant differential item functioning by sex, indicating varied responses among different groups.
  • The results support the K-SHSE's use as a valid tool for assessing social health among older adults, with no significant floor or ceiling effects.
