The concept of social support and its relationship to physical health and psychological well-being has been well documented. However, little empirical research has been conducted with clinical populations, and no measure of perceived social support reportedly has been validated on psychiatric inpatients. A psychometric investigation of the Social Support Appraisals Scale, a subjective measure of social support, was undertaken with psychiatric inpatients. Good reliability and appropriate subscale intercorrelation were indicated by the data. Evidence of construct validity included significant associations with another social support appraisal measure, measures of other social support dimensions, and family-reported data. Strong psychometric properties of the instrument were demonstrated for hospitalized psychiatric patients. Clinical implications for prevention and treatment are discussed.
社会支持的概念及其与身体健康和心理健康的关系已有充分记载。然而，针对临床人群的实证研究较少，而且据报道，尚无一种感知社会支持的测量方法在精神科住院患者中得到验证。我们对社会支持评估量表（一种社会支持的主观测量方法）进行了心理测量学调查，对象为精神科住院患者。数据表明该量表具有良好的信度和适当的分量表相互关系。结构效度的证据包括与另一种社会支持评估测量方法、其他社会支持维度的测量方法以及家庭报告数据之间的显著关联。该工具在住院精神科患者中表现出强大的心理测量学特性。文中还讨论了其对预防和治疗的临床意义。
