A questionnaire to measure the verbal and social interactions between carers and residents in supported housing facilities for persons with psychiatric disabilities has been developed. It is an adaptation of a questionnaire originally used in a forensic psychiatric setting. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate the construct validity and the reliability of this new version of the Verbal and Social Interactions questionnaire for use in supported housing facilities (VSI-SH). Two hundred and twenty-three carers from municipal and privately run housing facilities completed the questionnaire. A factor analysis was performed, which resulted in six factors. The number of items was reduced from the original 47 to 30 in order to minimize factorial complexity and multiple loadings. The reliability was tested with Cronbach's alpha and good internal consistency for the questionnaire and five of the six factors was found. The resulting six factors and the items were compared to the conceptual model and four of the six factors corresponded well with the categories in this original theoretical model. The questionnaire can be a useful contribution to the study of interactions between carers and residents in supported housing facilities for persons with psychiatric disabilities.
已经开发出一种用于衡量精神残疾人士支持性住房设施中护理人员和居民之间言语和社交互动的问卷。它是最初用于法医精神病学环境的问卷的改编版。因此,本研究的目的是调查这种用于支持性住房设施的新的言语和社交互动问卷(VSI-SH)的结构有效性和可靠性。223 名来自市政和私人住房设施的护理人员完成了问卷。进行了因子分析,结果产生了六个因素。为了最小化因子复杂性和多重负载,将原始的 47 个项目减少到 30 个。用 Cronbach 的 alpha 测试了可靠性,发现问卷和六个因素中的五个具有良好的内部一致性。得出的六个因素和项目与概念模型进行了比较,其中六个因素中的四个与原始理论模型中的类别相对应。该问卷可以为研究精神残疾人士支持性住房设施中护理人员和居民之间的互动提供有用的贡献。
