Stigma toward mental illness significantly contributes to a lower quality of healthcare that can be provided. There are few studies on this topic in Portugal, so validating a scale that can evaluate and study the stigma is paramount. The aim of this study was to validate the Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Portuguese healthcare professionals.
A total of 503 participants were included in this study, and the majority was female (81.1%). The sample consisted mainly of psychologists (39.4%) and physicians (30.8%). Reliability and validity analyses were conducted and included exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
Our results suggest that a 12-item model was the most appropriate (RMSEA = 0.026, SRMR = 0.057, CFI = 0.979, TLI = 0.973, GFI = 0.955) compared to our 15-item model and the original model. Items 8, 9 and 10 were removed. The 12-item scale's internal consistency was adequate (α = 0.71; ω = 0.72).
The 12-item model of the scale showed good reliability and validity and is appropriate for use with Portuguese healthcare professionals.
对精神疾病的污名化显著导致可提供的医疗保健质量降低。葡萄牙关于这一主题的研究很少，因此验证一个能够评估和研究污名化的量表至关重要。本研究的目的是验证葡萄牙医疗保健专业人员的“开放思维污名化量表”。
本研究共纳入503名参与者，大多数为女性（81.1%）。样本主要由心理学家（39.4%）和医生（30.8%）组成。进行了信效度分析，包括探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）。
我们的结果表明，与我们的15项模型和原始模型相比，一个12项模型最为合适（RMSEA = 0.026，SRMR = 0.057，CFI = 0.979，TLI = 0.973, GFI = 0.955）。删除了第8项、第9项和第10项。该12项量表的内部一致性良好（α = 0.71；ω = 0.72）。
该量表的12项模型显示出良好信效度且适用于葡萄牙医疗保健专业人员使用。
