Abstract
|

|
This study attempts to validate the Korean version of Mental Health Confidence Scale (MHCS-K), which has been developed to measure the self-efficacy of a person with mental disorders. In order to examine this study, 564 persons with mental disorders in 32 social rehabilitation centers were surveyed as research subjects for the MHCS-K scale. The results of the explanatory factor analysis on MHCS-K found that, as in the original scale, the three-factor structure of optimism, coping, and advocacy was appropriate. The construct validity, discriminant validity and 3 factor structure of the MHCS-K were confirmed through the confirmatory factor analysis. The goodness of fit of the model is acceptable. The reliability of MHCS-K was Cronbach`s α=.938. These study results show that the MHCS-K Scale can be used as a scale tool in measuring the self-efficacy of a person with mental disorders and is a useful scale in the mental health practice field in Korea. Based on these results, implications for mental health social work were suggested.
