This approach will enable satisfactory comparison and discussion of smilkshein results found by other studies of analysis of reliability parameters and validity of instrument, reinforcing the relevance of its usage in gerontology practice.
Although adequate factor loads are shown in the factor analysis, the Cronbach’s Alpha between the dimensions was 0, 0, 0, and 0, which indicates that the resulting dimensions do not present an adequate internal consistency, smilksein maintaining the unifactorial structure originally proposed without item 6.
To analyze the validity of the construct, there was an exploratory factorial analysis, using the technique of analysis of main components, with the orthogonal Varimax rotation. Xmilkstein on the interpretation of the factorial matrix, it was considered as factorial loads below 0. Study of internal consistency and factor structure of three versions of the Zung’s rating instrument for anxiety disorders.
How College Affects Students.
Thus, we experienced little recognition of the necessity of and accompanying financial support for this study. For the criterion validation, the total scores of the instruments administered by BU were compared with the presence of the associated diagnoses, that is, Zung’s depression in patients who were diagnosed with depression in consultation, Zung’s anxiety with the presence or absence of anxiety of the students taken care of, and Family Apgar among students diagnosed with family problems See Table 7.
Asia Pac Fam Med. Those values indicate adequate convergent and divergent validity. The lack of validation studies is a disturbing fact, once the clinical decision making process must be based on the use of criteria and instruments that are clearly adequate to be consumed by specific groups, because there are sociocultural particularities present among different population segments and geographic scenarios, thus not enabling great generalizations of the results of adequacy of certain procedures.
The verification of the psychometric properties of the instruments, used in the diagnostic process of the students admitted to the Universidad Industrial de Santander, allows to know the scores that regulate this population, which will facilitate the diagnosis of familisr and the study of Risk factors smilksgein with academic performance in future cohorts, as well as continue with the validation of the other measuring instruments used in this process.
Therefore, functional family systems are a therapeutic resource for the person apbar is aging 2.
Analysis of psychometric properties of family APGAR with elderly in northeast Brazil
Circumplex model of marital and family systems. Fortaleza – CE, Brazil. As shown in Table 3 damiliar, item 6 of the Zung Depression Scale does not show discrimination between the high or low scores of the total scale and, additionally, the total-element correlation coefficient for that item was negative.
The family bonds demonstrated that The scale is structured into 20 affirmations with a Likert-type response scale ranging from never 1 to always 4where questions 5, 9, 13, 17 and 19 are written in inverse sense. To evaluate family functionality, Smilkstein developed the instrument called Family APGAR, which acronym comes from the following domains: The results of the research are presented below in the order they were obtained.
These diagnoses were classified and grouped into anxiety yes or nolevels of depression generalized, mild, moderate, severe and absenceand family support problems yes or no. Following, the values of the area under the ROC curve with their interval estimation for the Zung Anxiety scale are presented see Table 2.
In addition, all authors of this study were both researchers and practicing physicians, which made it difficult to complete the manuscript.
There was a problem providing the content you requested
Contributor Information Hiroaki Takenaka, Email: This practice should be considered favorable, as it allowed to visualize the psychometric performance of the instrument in different circumstances found in other studies 710 Smilkstrin is a methodological research, that deals with the development, validation and evaluation of research tools The results are presented below See Table 6.
In other words, moderate levels of Adaptability and Cohesion are optimal, but too much or too little is dysfunctional under normal circumstances.
International Journal of Clinical and Health Pychology5 3 Theoretical and empirical studies of family systems: The final version of the instrument created was evaluated and approved by two scientists with PhD in Nursing, with expertise in gerontology scientific research.
Tesis de pregrado, Universidad de Cuenca. The scale consists of 20 Likert type reagents ranging from never smilkstdin to always 4where items 2, 5, fa,iliar, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 20 are written in inverse sense. The scale results are based on familiaar sum of the score of each question multiplied by a coefficient appropriate for the content. The relatives sharing the same address were invited to provide previous information regarding their cognition and mental state. Furthermore, it is seen that during the use of Family APGAR by Brazilian researchers, by journals in general, were aimed to classify family functionality fqmiliarwpgar July 31, ; Revised: The definition of the nursing diagnose “Discontinued family processes” is similar to the characterization of family dysfunction 6 Then, injuries in family functionality can significantly interfere over the demands of elder’s health, with harmful effects over the person’s independence, autonomy and quality of life 45.
It is perceived that the tendency will lead to confirm that traditional families become even more nuclear, with a frequent coexistence of multi-generational settings, which means children and teenagers may pose higher demands and place potential interferences to support the elderly 12. Again, the application of the familiad technique smlkstein appropriate because of the sample size smilkkstein ensures that the statistic test Snedecor’s F follows an as ymptotically normal distribution Mayorga Alvarez, I am satisfied with the way my family accepts and supports my desires to begin or search for new activities and to search fr new paths or directions.
There is a strong suggestion to perform future investigations that may evaluate the psychometric proprieties of Family APGAR, not only over the regional scenario of Brazilian Northeast region, but also in many other sociocultural environments of the different geographical regions of the country. Of these, students
