Abstract

Associative stigma in mental health providers affects the relationship between the professional and the person with mental illness and the well-being of the mental health provider. Few instruments have been developed for these purposes; most lack good psychometric properties. This is a quantitative, observational, and cross-sectional study. The factorial structure, internal consistency, and concurrent validity of the Associative Stigma in Mental Healthcare Providers Scale were studied. Two independent samples were recruited; both include mental health provider in primary and specialty care (N = 272 and N = 419). The final scale consisted of ten items, divided into two factors: negative attitudes toward mental healthcare work, seven items (a = 0.80; w = 0.84), and shame on disclosure, three items (a = 0.55; w = 0.79). The internal consistency for the total scale was acceptable (a = 0.78 and w = 0.90). The concurrent validity presented moderate and significant correlations with depersonalization and emotional exhaustion ranging between rp = 0.14 and rp = 0.22. The Associative Stigma in Mental Healthcare Providers Scale has a factorial structure and adequate level of internal consistency and concurrent validity, which supports its use among healthcare providers.

精神卫生保健提供者量表中联想耻辱的发展和心理测量特性（ESA-MHP）

摘要

精神卫生服务提供者的联想耻辱会影响专业人员与精神疾病患者之间的关系以及精神卫生服务提供者的福祉。为此目的开发的仪器很少；大多数缺乏良好的心理测量特性。这是一项定量、观察性和横断面研究。研究了精神卫生保健提供者联想耻辱量表的因子结构、内部一致性和同时效度。招募了两个独立样本；两者均包括初级和专科护理中的心理健康提供者（N  = 272 和N  = 419）。最终量表由十个项目组成，分为两个因素：对精神保健工作的消极态度，七个项目（a  = 0.80；w  = 0.84），以及对披露感到羞耻，三个项目（a  = 0.55；w  = 0.79）。总量表的内部一致性是可以接受的（a  = 0.78，w  = 0.90）。同时效度与人格解体和情绪耗竭呈现中度和显着相关性，范围在 rp = 0.14 和 rp = 0.22 之间。精神卫生保健提供者中的联想耻辱量表具有因子结构和足够水平的内部一致性和并发有效性，这支持其在医疗保健提供者中的使用。
