A convenience sample of 204 nursing home residents were used for measuring the instrument performances. Demographics form and BREQ-2 developed by Markland were applied.
Results:
The translated BREQ-2 model was a good fit for the results of confirmatory factor analysis, χ2 was 276.75, comparative fit index was .94, standardized root mean square residual was .05, and root mean square error of approximation was .07. Results in the BREQ-2 indicated good consistency, Cronbach's α coefficient of BREQ-2 was .78, and each of the five subscales were ranged from .78 to .83. The test-retest was valued .84, and the five subscales ranged from .75 to .89, which supporting the stability of instrument.
Conclusion:
This study provided psychometric evidence for the application of BREQ-2 among nursing home residents in China.
