| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the social activities of elderly women requiring support. The first step for study describes how items for a social activities scale proposal were created with a pilot study. An anonymous questionnaire was carried out through individual interviews with elderly women requiring support. The three factors of “interaction with surroundings through consideration”, “consulting with professionals”, and “proactive creative activities at home” were extracted as a social activities scale for elderly women requiring support from the results of the exploratory factor analysis. In the second step of study, to verify the reliability andvalidity of the social activities scale for elderly women requiring support, an anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted for elderly women who require daily support and elderly women. An exploratory factor analysis was performed based on the responses of the elderly women requiring support, and the three-factor structure postulated in the pilot study,as well as an internal consistency of α=0.859, were established.
