TI  - Development of a community's self-efficacy scale for preventing social isolation 
      among community-dwelling older people (Mimamori Scale).

AB  - BACKGROUND: Among older people in developed countries, social isolation leading 
      to solitary death has become a public health issue of vital importance. Such 
      isolation could be prevented by monitoring at-risk individuals at the 
      neighborhood level and by implementing supportive networks at the community 
      level. However, a means of measuring community confidence in these measures has 
      not been established. This study is aimed at developing the Community's 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES; Mimamori scale in Japanese) for community members 
      preventing social isolation among older people. METHODS: The CSES is a 
      self-administered questionnaire developed on the basis of Bandura's self-efficacy 
      theory. The survey was given to a general population (GEN) sample (n = 6,000) and 
      community volunteer (CVOL) sample (n = 1,297). Construct validity was determined 
      using confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was calculated using 
      Cronbach's alpha. The Generative Concern Scale (GCS-R) and Brief Sense of 
      Community Scale (BSCS) were also administered to assess criterion-related 
      validity of the CSES. RESULTS: In total, 3,484 and 859 valid responses were 
      received in the GEN and CVOL groups, respectively. The confirmatory factor 
      analysis identified eight items from two domains-community network and 
      neighborhood watch-with goodness of fit index = 0.984, adjusted goodness of fit 
      index = 0.970, comparative fit index = 0.988, and root mean square error of 
      approximation = 0.047. Cronbach's alpha for the entire CSES was 0.87 and for the 
      subscales was 0.80 and higher. The score of the entire CSES was positively 
      correlated with the GCS-R in both the GEN (r = 0.80, p < 0.001) and CVOL 
      (r = 0.86, p < 0.001) samples. CONCLUSIONS: The CSES demonstrated adequate 
      reliability and validity for assessing a community's self-efficacy to aid in its 
      preventing social isolation among older people. The scale is potentially useful 
      for promoting health policies, practices, and interventions within communities. 
      This may help prevent social isolation among older people and contribute to 
      overall well-being in aging societies in Japan and abroad.
