Objective : Recently the human right of people with mental illness has been focused not only in the field of psychiatric practices but also in other areas such as regulatory organizations. The purpose of this study was to test the validity and reliability of questionnaire for the Indicator of Human Rights of People with Mental Illness (IHM) that was designed to assess for them (Hong et al., 2014).
Methods : IHM was administered to 263 inpatients in a national psychiatric hospital. Reliability of IHM was tested by internal consistency and validity was tested by exploratory factor analysis and a fitness of the modified model.
Results : The Exploratory factor analysis revealed 7 factors : 1) Right to human dignity, 2) Right to know about admission & discharge process, 3) Transparency for admission & hospital life, 4) Right to know about treatment and right to self-determination, 5) Privacy, 6) Treatment setting, and 7) Hygiene & Health. The internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha was excellent (Cronbach's alpha=.68-.88). The validity of seven factor structure based on confirmatory factory analysis was verified as root mean square error of approximation that was proved as significant.
Conclusion : Based on results of confirmatory factor analysis, the validity and utility of the revised IHM was increased. Also, it may be useful to apply to the patients who have mental illnesses.
