The study aim was to develop and psychometrically assess an instrument to measure clinician attitude and competence in understanding violence affecting women with disabilities.
Data were collected from 419 clinicians with a master's degree or higher. Once collected, data was split randomly into two equal groups. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the first half of the data ( = 209) and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the second half of the data ( = 210) to establish construct validity. The draft instrument thus generated was designated as the Clinician Attitude Toward Violence Affecting Women With Disabilities (CAVAWD) Scale, which includes 4 factors (perception of problem, training competency, screening and reporting competency, and policy awareness). These four factors loaded on 40 items, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.898 and McDonald's omega of 0.903, explaining 58.7% of the total variance.
Initial psychometric assessment of CAVAWD showed good reliability and consistent construct validity through 4 moderate to highly loaded factors that are interpretable and parsimonious.
Further testing is needed; however, at present, the CAVAWD may be potentially useful to evaluate and measure counselor attitude, competency, and understanding of violence affecting women with disabilities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究旨在开发和心理测量评估一种工具，以衡量临床医生理解影响残疾妇女暴力的态度和能力。
数据来自 419 名拥有硕士或更高学位的临床医生。数据一经收集，便随机分为两组。对数据的前半部分（n=209）进行探索性因素分析，对数据的后半部分（n=210）进行验证性因素分析，以建立结构效度。由此产生的草案工具被指定为“临床医生对影响残疾妇女暴力的态度量表”（CAVAWD），包括 4 个因素（对问题的感知、培训能力、筛查和报告能力以及政策意识）。这四个因素共包含 40 个项目，总体 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.898，McDonald's omega 为 0.903，解释了总方差的 58.7%。
通过 4 个中等至高度负荷的因素，对 CAVAWD 的初步心理测量评估显示出良好的可靠性和一致的结构效度，这些因素具有可解释性和简约性。
需要进一步测试；然而，目前，CAVAWD 可能有助于评估和衡量咨询师对残疾妇女暴力问题的态度、能力和理解。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
