Abstract

Noticing the potential utility of the Care-Receiver Efficacy Scale-Short Form for elderly Koreans, this study aimed (a) to investigate the factor structure of the Korean version of the scale (KCRES-SF), (b) to make the instrument a more abbreviated and culturally suitable (KCRES-SR), and (c) to compare the psychometric qualities of both versions. Face-to-face survey interviews were conducted with 377 Korean community dwelling elders who lived alone and received at least two hours of home care services from certified care assistants. A series of confirmatory factor analyses and descriptive analyses were performed. The results supported the 1st order four-factor model of KCRES-SF. This model fitted the data reasonably well, satisfying all cutoff criteria. The KCRES-SR was validated with better model fits than KCRES-SF. Overall KCRES-SR is considered superior to KCRES-SF in that the former is more theoretically justifiable, concise, and culturally proper than the latter. However, it is recommended that one of the two versions should be selected based on study objectives.
