This study aimed to develop a mental health action checklist for high school students that emphasized the importance of readiness, safety, and good hygiene at work to enhance their mental health and prepare them for the workforce.
In total, 949 students from public high schools in Bangkok, Thailand voluntarily participated in this study. The 15-item High School Mental Health Action Checklist was developed based on a literature review and a pilot study. We used the index of item-objective congruence (IOC) to verify the content validity of the Checklist and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to establish its construct validity. The tool's internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
The High School Mental Health Action Checklist had good content (IOC = 0.867) and construct validity. EFA revealed four factors that accounted for 46.5% of the variance. The overall reliability coefficient for the High School Mental Health Action Checklist was 0.788, and the reliability coefficients of the subdomains were 0.783-0.797.
The Checklist will allow schools to develop an annual action plan for student mental health promotion activities, in accordance with public health guidelines. Our results indicate the High School Student Mental Health Action Checklist has good psychometric properties.
本研究旨在为高中生制定一份心理健康行动计划清单，强调工作准备、安全和良好卫生习惯的重要性，以促进他们的心理健康并为他们进入劳动力市场做好准备。
共有 949 名来自泰国曼谷公立高中的学生自愿参与了这项研究。根据文献回顾和试点研究，制定了包含 15 个项目的高中心理健康行动计划清单。我们使用项目-目标一致性指数（IOC）来验证清单的内容效度，并进行探索性因素分析（EFA）以建立其结构效度。使用 Cronbach's alpha 系数评估工具的内部一致性。
高中心理健康行动计划清单具有良好的内容效度（IOC=0.867）和结构效度。EFA 揭示了四个因素，占总方差的 46.5%。高中心理健康行动计划清单的总可靠性系数为 0.788，子领域的可靠性系数为 0.783-0.797。
根据公共卫生指南，清单将使学校能够制定年度学生心理健康促进活动行动计划。我们的结果表明，高中生心理健康行动计划清单具有良好的心理测量学特性。
