Population ageing is one of the present and future challenges in the European context. In addition to age-related changes, negative and judicious attitudes by society are also prevalent. Therefore, there is a need for reliable instruments to evaluate attitudes toward ageing. In this vein, the present research aims to provide a reliable version of the Kogan's Attitudes toward Older People scale adapted to the Spanish context. In a sample from the academic community (N = 163), we evaluated the reliability, the psychometric properties, and the internal consistency of a version of Kogan's scale translated into Spanish. The results showed a reliable short version of the scale with adequate psychometric properties and two factors: positive and negative. Moreover, the correlates with similar measures of attitude toward older people proved external validity measures by the short scale. The implications and contributions to the geriatric population are discussed.

Background: The prevalence and burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) are disproportionately high in individuals with skin of colour (SOC). Previous research shows that risk for xerosis and/or dyspigmentation is heightened in this population and may be more bothersome. However, there are no patient-reported instruments developed specifically for these disease sequelae in patients with SOC.

Measuring a family sense of coherence: a rasch-based study extending dyadic data analyses.
BMC Palliat Care
January 2025
RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Division Safety and Transport, Measurement Science and Technology, Göteborg, Sweden.
Background: Family sense of coherence (FSOC) seems to reduce distress in the family and promote the well-being of the family. Therefore, getting accurate measurements for families with long-term illnesses is of particular interest. This study explores dyadic data analysis from the dyadic- and single-informant perspectives, and the measurement properties of the FSOC-S12 according to the Rasch model.
