Abstract

Abstract Background: The current pandemic has classified older people into the most vulnerable category. Prior to the pandemic, they led active social lives, but are now cautioned to adopt more precautionary and preventive behaviors. Older people are advised to change their lifestyle given the challenges and expectations regarding aging. Therefore, the present study is designed to assess the construct validity and reliability of the Persian version of the 12-Item Expectations Regarding Aging Survey among older adult Iranian population during COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: The Persian version of this scale was developed using translation and revision in current study. The construct validity was assessed through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Also, the reliability was assessed through through its internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega), composite reliability (CR), and maximal reliability (MaxR). The data compiled online was based on a sample of 400 older adults aged above 65 years. Results: The results of the study indicate that the Persian version of this scale comprises three factors with 11 items (Factor 1: Physical Health; Factor 2: Mental Health; Factor 3: Cognitive Function) that explaining 65.764% of the total variance. The CFA results, after reviewing the model modification indices, shows the revised three factors model fits the data well with excellent internal consistency and reliability. Conclusion: The finding indicates that the Persian Version of ERA is reliable and valid. It can be used for aging, educational, and clinic research, to develop and evaluate on suitable intervention to enhance the quality of life among Iranian aging population.
