Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine a factor structure for the Impact of Miscarriage Scale (IMS). The 24 items comprising the IMS were originally derived from a phenomenological study of miscarriage in women. Initial psychometric properties were established based on a sample of 188 women (Swanson, 1999a). Method: Data from 341 couples were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Results: CFA did not confirm the original structure. EFA explained 57% of the variance through an 18-item, 4-factor structure: isolation and guilt, loss of baby, devastating event, and adjustment. Except for the Adjustment subscale, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were ≥.78. Conclusion: Although a 3-factor solution is most defensible, with further refinement and additional items, the 4th factor (adjustment) may warrant retention.

The impact of methodological changes on gerontology is illustrated by discussing the example of the age-cohort-period problem as an innovation in research design, and examining the case of confirmatory factor analysis as an illustration of how methodological innovation informs theory.

This research expects to decide the impact of (1) self-viability; (2) emotional standards; (3) demeanor toward conduct; and (4) enterprise instruction towards understudy business goals. This research comprised of 278 understudies as respondents. The instrument legitimacy test utilizes Confirmatory Factor Analysis, while the unwavering quality test utilizes Cronbach Alpha. The investigation system utilized is different direct relapse test. The consequences of the examination found that. (1) self-adequacy positively affects innovative expectations, (2) emotional standards positively affect pioneering aims, (3) conduct positively affects enterprising goals, (4) business enterprise instruction positively affects enterprising aims.

This study discussed about work engagement of nurses who experienced work-life imbalance and how the support from supervisor, coworker, organization, and family impacting it. This study aims to examined the moderating effect of social support in relation of work-life imbalance and nurses’ engagement and also evaluate the role of social support’s dimensions. A total of 120 nurses with a diploma in nursing participated in this study. They were working in nursing activities and lived with family as daily basis. The study was using adapted form of UWES-9, Industrial Society’s Work-Life, and CESS questionnaires. Measurement being done with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method and measurement model using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with Lisrel 10.0. Structural model testing showed that work-life imbalance significantly correlated with work engagement (r=-0.24, normed c2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), and no significant moderating effect of social support was found. Only support from coworker moderated the work-life imbalance and work engagement of nurses (r=0.20, normedc2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), and neither support from supervisor, organization, and family show any significant correlations as moderating variables. As conclusion, hypotheses was tested and confirmed. The findings showed work-life imbalance negatively correlated with work engagement, and support from coworker can help buffer the impact of imbalanced work-life condition on nurses’ engagement. The other dimensions of social support show no significant correlations. Perawat dalam melaksanakan tugasnya rentan menghadapi kondisi ketidakseimbangan kerja yang dapat mempengaruhi keterikatan kerja mereka. Untuk mengatasi pengaruh tersebut diperlukan sumber daya seperti dukungan sosial dari atasan, rekan kerja, organisasi, dan keluarga perawat yang dapat memberi dukungan pekerjaan bagi perawat. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk melihat peranan dukungan sosial dan masing-masing dimensinya sebagai moderator pada pengaruh ketidakseimbangan kehidupan kerja terhadap keterikatan kerja perawat. Partisipan penelitian adalah perawat (N=120) yang sedang aktif bekerja di bidang keperawatan dan berstatus tinggal dengan keluarga. Data diperoleh dengan kuesioner UWES-9, Industrial Society’s Work-Life, dan CESS yang telah diadaptasi. Pengolahan data menggunakan metode SEM dan pengujian model pengukuran menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan bantuan program Lisrel versi 10.0. Hasil pengujian structural model menunjukkan bahwa ketidakseimbangan kehidupan kerja berkorelasi signifikan terhadap keterikatan kerja (r=-0.24, normedc2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), sementara peran dukungan sosial sebagai variabel moderator tidak signifikan berkorelasi. Hanya satu dimensi dukungan sosial, yaitu dimensi coworker, secara signifikan berperan sebagai moderator (r=0.20, normedc2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), sementara dimensi supervisor, organization, dan family tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan sebagai moderator. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ketidakseimbangan kehidupan-kerja berpengaruh negatif terhadap keterikatan kerja perawat, dan hanya dukungan sosial dari rekan kerja yang dapat berperan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan tersebut. Sementara dukungan sosial dari atasan, organisasi, dan keluarga tidak berperan sebagai moderator antara ketidakseimbangan kehidupan-kerja dan keterikatan kerja pada perawat.
