“…Responsiveness, standard error, interpretability, ceiling and floor effects, and ease of the FSOP questionnaire were within acceptable ranges. Other similar questionnaires in international literature have not reported on these psychometric criteria (27,28,36).…”

“…Uddin and Bhuiyan ( 27 ) and Tselebis et al ( 36 ) developed family support scales for older people, but they did not conduct factor analysis as the most important aspect of evaluating psychometric properties. The factor analysis process of the FSOP questionnaire showed that some items had more factor burden and were therefore more important in assessing the validity of the related domains.…”

“…The phenomenon of aging is experienced differently depending on country of residence, culture, economic condition, age group, and physical activity level. Accordingly, the phenomenon of support is defined and understood differently in different cultures and contexts ( 27 , 28 ). In addition, family caregivers often face dilemmas in performing their caring responsibilities due to unclear boundaries and guidelines regarding support for older people in home care ( 29 ).…”

Background and objectivesThe population of older people is increasing across the world. Older people need care and support from their families to be able to live independently. This study aimed to design and evaluate the psychometric properties of the family support for older people (FSOP) questionnaire.MethodsIn this instrument development study using a mixed-methods design, the psychometric properties of the FSOP questionnaire in terms of validity and reliability were evaluated.ResultsThe FSOP questionnaire consisted of 50 items in six domains. It was shown to have appropriate qualitative and quantitative validities (score > 1.5). The indicators of content validity (CVR > 0.62, ICVI ≥ 0.80, and SCVI > 0.94) and confirmatory factor analysis (indexes of χ2/df = 2.50, CFI = 0.96, GFI = 0.97, AGFI = 0.96, NNFI = 0.96, PNFI = 0.89, TLI = 0.96, and RMSEA = 0.06) were satisfactory. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability was 0.94, indicating an optimal score.ConclusionsHealthcare providers and family caregivers are suggested to use the FSOP questionnaire for improving the quality of life of older people at home.

“…Question items for three exogenous variables, namely perceived income adequacy for current needs, perceived income adequacy for current wants, and financial anxiety adopted from the Sears study (2008). Meanwhile, the question item for the perceived family support variable refers to the research of Uddin and Bhuiyan (2019), Komjakraphan et al (2009), and Kyzar et al (2012). The study's endogenous variable is tax non-compliance, with the question item adapted from Kasipillai and Abdul-Jabbar (2006) and Aregbesola et al (2020).…”

In high-risk situations like the Covid-19 epidemic, it is believed that perceived income adequacy, family support,financial anxiety, and tax non-compliance have a strong relationship. This study applies the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory in building research models to fill gaps in previous research. According to the COR theory, individuals safeguard the quality and quantity of their financial resources by avoiding threats to their existence, including taxes. Thus, maintaining limited financial resources during the Covid-19 pandemic to meet needs and wants leads to tax avoidance.The cross-sectional data were collected using an online survey and analyzed using the PLS-based SEM technique. Purposive sampling was used to identify 371 Indonesian working women for the study sample. The study’s findings confirmed that perceived income adequacy for current needs and wants and perceived family support directly impact financial anxiety. However, this study can only demonstrate the direct effect of perceived income adequacy for current wants and tax non-compliance. Financial anxiety has also been proven to mediate the relationship between the three exogenous factors and tax non-compliance. This study can strengthen the concept of COR theory, which has never been used to investigate tax non-compliance behaviour and can be considered by authorities to design tax policies that take gender into account to achieve tax compliance.

“…The family support scale (FSS) for elderly people comprises 20 items to assess perceived support for the following 20 areas: company, daily activities, emotional support, food, happiness, health, help in problem-solving, important decisions, important people, information, love, money, personal needs, personal problems, religious activities, respect, satisfaction, sleep, social events, and treatment. 56 Each item is measured on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 (no) to 3 (much). 56 The total possible scores fall between 0 and 60, where a higher score reflects greater perceived family support for the elderly.…”

Background:The 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda significantly impacted family structure, with many people growing old alone and lacking social bonds and connections with family members. However, little is known about the contribution of the family environment to geriatric depression which was highlighted by WHO as a psychological problem with a 10% to 20% prevalence rate among the elderly worldwide. This study aims to investigate geriatric depression and associated family determinants among the elderly in Rwanda.Methods: With a community-based cross-sectional study design, we assessed geriatric depression (GD), quality-of-life enjoyment and satisfaction (QLES), family support (FS), loneliness, neglect, and attitude toward grief in a convenience sample of 107 participants (M=72.32, SD=8.79) aged between 60 and 95 years who were recruited from three groups of elderly people supported by the NSINDAGIZA organization in Rwanda. SPSS (version 24) was used for statistical data analysis; differences across various sociodemographic variables were tested for significance by an independent t-test; the relationship between study variables was tested by Pearson correlation analysis; and multiple regression analysis was performed to model the contribution of independent variables to dependent variables. Results: A total of 64.5% of the elderly scored above the threshold of the normal range of geriatric depression (SDS>49), with higher symptoms in women than in men. Multiple regression analysis indicated that family support and quality-of-life enjoyment and satisfaction were contributors to geriatric depression in the participants. Conclusion: Geriatric depression was relatively common in our participants. It is associated with the quality of life and family support received. Hence, adequate family-based interventions are needed to improve the well-being of geriatric people in their respective families.
