Legal and extra-legal coercion are pervasive in mental hospital admission and there are sharp disputes about its appropriate role. This article presents two scales for measuring psychiatric patients' perceptions of coercion during hospital admission and reports data on these scales' internal consistency. We measure patients' perceptions of coercion by asking questions, in either an interview or questionnaire format, about their experience of lack of control, choice, influence, and freedom in hospital admission. Patients' responses to questions about their perceptions of coercion were highly internally consistent. The internal consistency of the scale was robust with respect to variation in site, instrument format, patient population, and interview procedure. Correspondence analysis was used to construct two numerical scales of perceived coercion.
法律强制和法外强制在精神病院收治过程中普遍存在，且对于其恰当作用存在激烈争议。本文介绍了两种用于衡量精神病患者在住院期间对强制的认知的量表，并报告了这些量表的内部一致性数据。我们通过以访谈或问卷形式询问患者关于他们在住院收治过程中缺乏控制、选择、影响力和自由的经历，来衡量患者对强制的认知。患者对有关其对强制认知问题的回答在内部高度一致。该量表的内部一致性在不同地点、工具形式、患者群体和访谈程序的变化方面都很稳健。对应分析被用于构建两个感知强制的数字量表。
