Abstract
Purpose: This study was done to develop and test a scale to measure the homeboundness for low-income aged who live in the community. Methods: This was nursing methodology research. Homeboundness Scale development process was composed of construct identification based on concept analysis using the Hybrid model, 35 initial items. This number was reduced to 31 items through face validity tests by 7 experts. The preliminary Homeboundness Scale for low-income aged was administered to 240 aged who registered and received visiting health care service in the community health center located in S city. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Cronbach's alpha. Results: Twenty-two items were selected for the final scale. Three factors evolved from the factor analysis, which explained 66.0% of the total variance. The internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha, was .945 and reliability of the subscales ranged from .890 to .934. Conclusion: Homeboundness Scale demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to assess the Homeboundness of the low-income aged in practice and research.
