Empowerment is a primary outcome of many health interventions with women. Typical outcome measures, however focus exclusively on specific symptoms, neglecting the clinically important attitudes and behaviors associated with increased empowerment and well-being. Empowerment is conceptualized as enabling women to access skills and resources to cope more effectively with current as well as future stress and trauma. This study investigated a new measure of personal empowerment in women, the Personal Progress Scale-Revised (PPS-R). Results suggest that the PPS-R is a promising measure of empowerment in women, demonstrating excellent reliability and validity in diverse sample of women. Additionally, the PPS-R demonstrated preliminary utility with a subgroup of abused women, a vulnerable group of women for whom empowerment is a variable of high importance.
赋权是许多针对女性的健康干预措施的主要成果。然而，典型的成果衡量指标仅专注于特定症状，忽视了与增强赋权和幸福感相关的具有临床重要性的态度和行为。赋权的概念是使女性能够获取技能和资源，以便更有效地应对当前以及未来的压力和创伤。本研究调查了一种针对女性个人赋权的新测量方法，即修订后的个人进步量表（PPS-R）。结果表明，PPS-R是一种很有前景的女性赋权测量方法，在不同女性样本中显示出出色的信度和效度。此外，PPS-R在受虐女性亚组中显示出初步效用，受虐女性是一个弱势群体，对她们而言，赋权是一个非常重要的变量。
