The Recovery Strengths Questionnaire (RSQ) is a 15-item self-report questionnaire that assesses an addicted individual's recovery strengths. This study aimed to validate the RSQ as a measure of recovery capital.
As part of a larger study, 151 participants in addiction recovery groups from across the UK completed the RSQ. Participants also completed the Assessment of Recovery Capital questionnaire and provided some demographic information.
The RSQ was found to be psychometrically sound, with high internal consistency and concurrent validity with the Assessment of Recovery Capital. RSQ scores were positively correlated with length of time in recovery and length of membership in recovery groups, and the scores could be used to discriminate between those in early and late recovery. Principal components analysis revealed a two-factor structure of recovery capital. These two factors were named 'within-group recovery strengths' and 'externally generated recovery strengths', and it was found that only the within-group factor scale (i.e. resources developed within recovery groups) predicted length of time in recovery and recovery groups.
These results highlight the important role that recovery groups can play in an individual's recovery, and they provide an alternative factor structure to the one-factor structure of the Assessment of Recovery Capital.
恢复力量问卷（RSQ）是一个包含 15 个项目的自我报告问卷，用于评估成瘾个体的康复力量。本研究旨在验证 RSQ 作为衡量康复资本的一种手段。
作为一项更大研究的一部分，来自英国各地的 151 名成瘾康复小组的参与者完成了 RSQ。参与者还完成了康复资本评估问卷，并提供了一些人口统计信息。
RSQ 在心理测量学上是可靠的，具有较高的内部一致性和与康复资本评估的同时效度。RSQ 得分与康复时间和康复小组的会员时间呈正相关，并且可以用来区分早期和晚期康复的人。主成分分析显示了康复资本的两因素结构。这两个因素分别命名为“小组内的康复力量”和“外部产生的康复力量”，并且发现只有小组内因素量表（即在康复小组内开发的资源）可以预测康复时间和康复小组的长度。
这些结果强调了康复小组在个人康复中的重要作用，并且为康复资本评估的单因素结构提供了替代的因素结构。
