We sought to establish whether two recently developed measures, the 5C scale and the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) were reliable and valid for use with older adults. A total of 372 UK-dwelling participants (65-92 years, = 70.5 years, SD = 4.6) completed a cross-sectional survey measuring health and socio-demographic characteristics in relation to vaccine uptake for influenza, pneumococcal and shingles. The 5C and VAX scales were administered to test their reliability, validity and dimensionality. Both scales showed good internal reliability and convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity. Their factor structures were also confirmed, supporting their use with older adult populations.
我们试图确定最近开发的两种测量工具,即 5C 量表和疫苗态度量表(VAX)是否可用于老年人群体,且具有可靠性和有效性。共有 372 名居住在英国的参与者(65-92 岁,均龄 70.5 岁,标准差 4.6)完成了一项横断面调查,该调查测量了与流感、肺炎球菌和带状疱疹疫苗接种相关的健康和社会人口统计学特征。5C 和 VAX 量表用于测试其可靠性、有效性和维度。两个量表均表现出良好的内部可靠性和收敛性、区分度和同时效度。它们的因子结构也得到了确认,支持它们在老年人群体中的使用。
