Convenience sampling was used to recruit 155 community\u2010dwelling older people who needed support. Expert opinion, item\u2010content validity index, and scale\u2010content validity index were used to evaluate content validity. Internal consistency and test\u2013retest reliability tests were used to evaluate reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate construct validity.

Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three\u2010factor structure. \u2018Interactions with friends and neighbors\u2019 was the factor that explained the highest variance (46%).
