This study developed an instrument to evaluate the health empowerment of North Korean women refugees and examined its validity and reliability.
Through literature review and focused group interviews, 66 preliminary items with three constructs, including perceived control, perceived competence, and goal internalization were selected based on Menon's psychological health empowerment model. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 239 North Korean women refugees in the community from August 31 to September 4, 2020. Content, construct, convergent, and discriminative validity were evaluated. Cronbach's α was used to evaluate the reliability of scale.
The final instrument consisted of 31 items with three factors that were identified through confirmatory factor analysis. The convergent validity showed that the correlation coefficient was .52 ( < .001), which confirmed the validity of the developed measurement tool. Cronbach's α for all the items was .94, and Cronbach's α for the factors was .76~.91.
This health empowerment scale has been developed to include aspects of health empowerment, provide a conceptual framework, and offer objective indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of a health education program.
本研究开发了一种工具来评估朝鲜女性难民的健康赋权情况，并检验其有效性和可靠性。
通过文献回顾和焦点小组访谈，基于梅农的心理健康赋权模型，从感知控制、感知能力和目标内化三个构念中选取了66个初始项目。2020年8月31日至9月4日，对社区中的239名朝鲜女性难民进行了问卷调查。评估了内容效度、结构效度、收敛效度和区分效度。采用克朗巴哈α系数评估量表的可靠性。
最终工具由通过验证性因素分析确定的31个项目和三个因素组成。收敛效度表明相关系数为0.52（<0.001），证实了所开发测量工具的有效性。所有项目的克朗巴哈α系数为0.94，各因素的克朗巴哈α系数为0.76至0.91。
本健康赋权量表涵盖了健康赋权的各个方面，提供了一个概念框架，并为评估健康教育项目的效果提供了客观指标。
