The revised Taiwanese Elderly Stressor Inventory (TESI) is a shorter, reliable tool for assessing stress in older adults. Its sound psychometric properties support its use in clinical practice and research.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychometrics
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Assessing stress in elderly populations is crucial for targeted interventions.
  • The original 73-item Taiwanese Elderly Stressor Inventory (TESI) required significant time for administration.
  • A need existed for a more efficient yet valid measure of elderly stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise and shorten the Taiwanese Elderly Stressor Inventory (TESI).
  • To develop a more time-efficient instrument for assessing stress experiences in older adults.
  • To establish the reliability and validity of the revised TESI.

Main Methods:

  • Two phases: item revision (combining/deleting) and psychometric analysis.
  • Content validity assessed by doctorally prepared nurses (Content Validity Index = 0.97).

  • Psychometric properties determined using data from 301 elderly individuals in Taipei.

    • Main Results:

    • The revised TESI contains 60 items.
    • Reliability: Cronbach's alpha = 0.74, test-retest reliability = 0.89.
    • Construct validity showed expected correlations with health perception, depression, and life satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • The revised 60-item TESI demonstrates sound psychometric properties.
    • The instrument is a valid and reliable tool for assessing stress in older adults.
    • The shortened TESI is suitable for practical application and research settings.
