BACKGROUND
The Growth and Empowerment Measure was developed by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults to measure social and emotional well-being and empowerment. This study aimed to co-design and validate a version of the Growth and Empowerment Measure with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people experiencing youth detention.
METHOD
103 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people experiencing youth detention participated. Participants directed seven adaptations from the Growth and Empowerment Measure for adults to create a Growth and Empowerment Measure-Youth (GEM-Youth). 78 participants completed the GEM-Youth version 7 and 57 participants completed both the full GEM-Youth version 7 and the Kessler psychological distress scale (K10). Cronbach's alpha and inter-item correlations were calculated for two components of the GEM-Youth: how I feel about myself and thinking about my everyday life. Associations between K10 and GEM-Youth scores were quantified using Pearson's correlation.
RESULTS
How I feel about myself questions had a mean inter-item correlation of (0.21) and good internal consistency (α = 0.80). Thinking about my everyday life questions had a mean inter-item correlation of 0.18 and internal consistency of α = 0.69. How I feel about myself showed a strong negative correlation ((55) = -0.61, [95% confidence interval: -0.42, -0.75] < 0.001) with K10. Thinking about my everyday life showed a moderate negative correlation with K10 (-0.31, [95% confidence interval: -0.05, -0.52] = 0.02).
IMPLICATIONS
The GEM-Youth provides a culturally grounded and validated measure to assess social and emotional well-being and empowerment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in detention settings. This measure has therapeutic and research value that should be further refined and explored. Future research should adapt and validate this tool for use with other groups and settings.
背景
“成长与赋权量表”是由原住民及托雷斯海峡岛民成年人开发并为其设计的，用于衡量社会情感幸福感和赋权程度。本研究旨在与经历青少年拘留的原住民及托雷斯海峡岛民年轻人共同设计并验证一个版本的“成长与赋权量表”。
方法
103名经历青少年拘留的原住民及托雷斯海峡岛民年轻人参与了研究。参与者对成人版的“成长与赋权量表”提出了七项改编建议，以创建“成长与赋权量表 - 青少年版”（GEM - Youth）。78名参与者完成了GEM - Youth第7版，57名参与者同时完成了完整的GEM - Youth第7版和凯斯勒心理困扰量表（K10）。计算了GEM - Youth两个组成部分的克朗巴哈系数（Cronbach's alpha）和项目间相关性：我对自己的感受以及对日常生活的思考。使用皮尔逊相关性对K10与GEM - Youth得分之间的关联进行了量化。
结果
我对自己的感受相关问题的平均项目间相关性为（0.21），内部一致性良好（α = 0.80）。对日常生活的思考相关问题的平均项目间相关性为0.18，内部一致性为α = 0.69。我对自己的感受与K10呈强负相关（（55）= -0.61，[95%置信区间：-0.42，-0.75] ＜ 0.001）。对日常生活的思考与K10呈中度负相关（-0.31，[95%置信区间：-0.05，-0.52] = 0.02）。
启示
GEM - Youth为评估拘留场所中原住民及托雷斯海峡岛民年轻人的社会情感幸福感和赋权程度提供了一个基于文化且经过验证的测量工具。该测量工具具有治疗和研究价值，应进一步完善和探索。未来的研究应调整并验证此工具以适用于其他群体和环境。
