The Construction of Mental Health Inventory for Chinese Elderly

Objective: To develop a standardized inventory for evaluating mental health of Chinese elderly.Methods: The original inventory comprised of 58 items was constructed according to the theoretical proposition that mental health includes 5 major components: personality, emotion, adaptation, interpersonal relationship and cognition. The inventory was administered to a sample of 1100 older people above 55 in the Beijing area.Results: The final inventory included 5 components, consisting of 50 items. Acceptable internal consistency was obtained for total and component scores. Total, component and item scores were highly correlated as expected. The theoretical proposition was supported by factor analysis. Good validity was supported by high correlations between the inventory score and relevant variables in different samples.Conclusion: The mental health inventory for Chinese elderly developed in the present study attains good psychometric properties.
