The Chinese version of the Subjective Technology Adaptivity Inventory (STAI) is valid and reliable for older adults with chronic diseases. This tool aids in identifying individuals needing support for digital health management.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Digital Health
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Subjective technology adaptivity is a key motivator for technology use in older adults.
  • Aging populations and digital health demands necessitate tools for assessing older adults' tech adaptability.
  • Older Chinese adults with chronic diseases face unique challenges in adopting digital health tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Translate the Subjective Technology Adaptivity Inventory (STAI) into Chinese.
  • Validate the psychometric properties of the Chinese STAI among older adults with chronic diseases.
  • Establish STAI as a reliable measure for assessing technology adaptivity in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase study involving 635 older patients with chronic diseases.

A Modified Trier Social Stress Test for Vulnerable Mexican American Adolescents

Published on: July 10, 2017

  • Comprehensive psychometric evaluation including content, structural, convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity.
  • Assessment of internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • The Chinese STAI demonstrated satisfactory structural validity with a stable three-factor structure.
    • Excellent content validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, criterion-related validity, and known-groups validity were observed.
    • High internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.932), split-half reliability (0.883), and test-retest reliability (0.809) were achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The Chinese version of the STAI is a valid and reliable instrument for older adults with chronic diseases.
    • Clinicians can use the STAI to identify individuals needing support with digital health tools.
    • Targeted interventions can enhance engagement with healthcare technology for improved self-management.
