We aimed at developing and validating a scale on the beliefs and attitudes of mental health professionals towards services users' rights in order to provide a valid evaluation instrument for training activities with heterogeneous mental health professional groups. Items were extracted from a review of previous instruments, as well as from several focus groups which have been conducted with different mental health stakeholders, including mental health service users. The preliminary scale consisted of 44 items and was administered to 480 mental health professionals. After eliminating non-discriminant and low weighting items, a final scale of 25 items was obtained. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses produced a four-factor solution consisting of the following four dimensions; /, /, /, and /. The scale shows high concordance with our theoretical model as well as adequate parameters of explained variance, model fit, and internal reliability. Additional work is required to assess the cultural equivalence and psychometrics of this tool in other settings and populations, including health students.
我们旨在开发和验证一个关于心理健康专业人员对服务使用者权利的信念和态度的量表,以便为具有异质心理健康专业群体的培训活动提供一个有效的评估工具。项目是从之前的工具综述以及与不同的心理健康利益相关者(包括心理健康服务使用者)进行的几个焦点小组中提取出来的。初步量表由 44 个项目组成,对 480 名心理健康专业人员进行了测试。在消除了非歧视性和低权重项目后,得到了一个包含 25 个项目的最终量表。探索性和验证性因子分析产生了一个四因素解决方案,包括以下四个维度:/、/、/、和/。该量表与我们的理论模型高度一致,具有足够的可解释方差、模型拟合和内部可靠性参数。还需要进一步的工作来评估该工具在其他环境和人群(包括卫生专业学生)中的文化等效性和心理测量学特性。
