The purpose of this study is to develop a self-neglect scale and test its appropriateness for local elderly residents. First, 30 preliminary questions were developed through a review of previous studies and content validity was determined by an expert panel. The 30 questions were included in a survey of elderly adults residing in Pusan. Responses were subjected to exploratory factor analysis, and the final scale consisted of 14 items (of the 30 questions) with a 4-factor structure. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the 14-item version of the scale and the appropriateness of the 4-factor solution was confirmed. The factors were everyday life management, personal hygiene management, financial management, and relationships. The significant correlation between the developed scale and Kim Mi Hae et. al.’s self-neglect scale demonstrated the former’s criterion validity. The 14-item self-neglect scale showed satisfactory reliability and validity. Finally, study implications and limitations as well as directions for future studies are discussed.
