Studies investigating self-esteem in individuals with severe mental illness, either as a treatment goal, outcome or correlate to other variables, have increased over the past few years. One of the main difficulties in assessing self-esteem is the assessment itself, often measuring global and stable self-esteem as in the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, or requiring extensive training and long interviews. The present article aims at demonstrating the relevance of the French and English versions of the Self-Esteem Rating Scale-Short Form with individuals with severe mental illness. The instrument's reliability and validity were investigated in a sample of 250 French Canadian college students, 247 British college students and three samples of English- or French-speaking individuals with severe mental illness (N=254, N=150 and N=171). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that a shorter version of the instrument (20 items), with a positive and a negative self-esteem factor, had a great validity for all the samples studied. The Self-Esteem Rating Scale-Short Form, with its positive and negative self-esteem subscales, appears to be a valid and reliable self-esteem measure for individuals with mental health problems. Limitations of this study and future directions are discussed.
在过去几年中，针对患有严重精神疾病的个体的自尊研究有所增加，这些研究将自尊作为治疗目标、结果或与其他变量的关联因素。评估自尊的主要困难之一在于评估本身，通常像在罗森伯格自尊量表中那样测量整体且稳定的自尊，或者需要广泛的培训和长时间的访谈。本文旨在证明自尊评定量表简版的法语和英语版本对于患有严重精神疾病的个体的相关性。在250名法裔加拿大大学生、247名英国大学生以及三个讲英语或法语的患有严重精神疾病的个体样本（N = 254、N = 150和N = 171）中对该工具的信度和效度进行了调查。验证性因素分析表明，该工具的一个较短版本（20个项目），具有一个积极自尊因素和一个消极自尊因素，对所有研究样本都具有很高的效度。自尊评定量表简版及其积极和消极自尊子量表，似乎是一种适用于有心理健康问题个体的有效且可靠的自尊测量工具。本文讨论了该研究的局限性和未来方向。
