- Aims: were to develop and test a new survey instrument designed to measure the promotion of active ageing in older people with mental disorders living in the community of Thailand and identify factors that influence the promotion of active ageing in this group. Design: Mixed methods research with exploratory sequential design divided into two phases; a qualitative exploration of the topic followed by a quantitative approach. Methods: Instrument development consisted of two focus group interviews, item generation, content validity testing, face validity, and a pilot study. A cross-sectional study was then conducted. Psychometric properties were tested using content validity index, Cronbach’s alpha, Spearman’s coefficient of correlation, and exploratory factor analysis. Results: The Promoting Active Ageing in Older People with Mental Disorders Scale (PAA-MD) contains 104 items categorised into three sections based on findings from focus groups, literature review, and the concept of active ageing. Section I examines general information and familiarity of active ageing and related concepts. Section II measures the promotion of active ageing in older people with mental disorders. Section III identifies factors that influence the promotion of active ageing. Each item of section II and III is rated on a five-point Likert scale. Content validity index of section II and III were 0.82 and 0.84 respectively. Face validity was suitable for respondents. Internal reliability from the pilot study of section II and III were 0.975 and 0.964 respectively. Scores of section II and III correlated significantly with the total score: 0.970 (P<0.01) and 0.988 (P<0.01) that supported good external reliability. Construct validity of sections II and III indicated five factors each. Cronbach’s Alpha from a large sample of sections II and III were 0.974 and 0.966 that indicated good internal consistency. All items had corrected item-total correlation coefficient greater than 0.30. Conclusion: The PAA-MD has high levels reliability and validity.
