Choi, Jae-Sung; Lee, Minhong
Research on Social Work Practice, v24 n6 p676-684 Nov 2014
Objective: This study examined the validity and reliability of a person-directed care (PDC) measure for nursing homes in Korea. Method: Managerial personnel from 223 nursing homes in 2010 and 239 in 2012 were surveyed. Results: Item analysis and exploratory factor analysis for the first sample generated a 33-item PDC measure with eight factors. Item analysis for the second sample resulted in 32 items. Confirmatory factor analysis verified the acceptability of the revised instrument with seven factors of 30 items (?[superscript 2] = 650.96, root mean square error of approximation = 0.059, nonnormed fit index = 0.88, comparative fit index = 0.90, and incremental fit index = 0.90). The overall scale had high internal consistency and reliability (a = 0.925). Conclusion: Findings from this study confirm the validity of the revised Korean PDC scale.
