The purpose of this study was to develop and to validate a measure of cultural responsiveness that would assist mental health practitioners across a range of disciplines, in Australia, to work with Indigenous clients.
The Cultural Responsiveness Assessment Measure (CRAM) was developed to provide a tool for practitioners and students to evaluate their own culturally responsive practice and professional development.
Following expert review for face validity the psychometric properties of the measure were assessed quantitatively, from the responses of 400 mental health practitioners.
Confirmatory Factor Analysis yielded a nine factor, 36 item instrument that demonstrated strong convergent and discriminant validity as well as test-retest reliability.
It is anticipated that the CRAM will have utility as both a learning tool and an assessment measure, for mental health practitioners to ensure that services are culturally responsive for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
本研究的目的是开发并验证一种文化响应性测量方法，以帮助澳大利亚各学科的心理健康从业者与原住民客户合作。
开发文化响应性评估量表（CRAM），为从业者和学生提供一种工具，以评估他们自身的文化响应性实践和专业发展。
在进行了表面效度的专家评审后，根据400名心理健康从业者的回答对该测量方法的心理测量特性进行了定量评估。
验证性因素分析得出了一个包含九个因素、36个条目的量表，该量表显示出很强的聚合效度和区分效度以及重测信度。
预计CRAM将作为一种学习工具和评估手段发挥作用，以确保心理健康从业者为原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民提供具有文化响应性的服务。
