Abstract

AbstractThis study presents the validation of Korean version of the Human Rights Lens in Social Work (K-HRLSW) scale, a measure that can be used to foster the promotion of human rights in Korean social service settings. First, the English-language HRLSW was translated and adapted for Korean language and culture. Then, item analyses, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to verify the psychometric properties of the Korean-language scale. For cross-validity, a total of 401 social workers were randomly split into two groups (group 1 = 202; group 2 = 199) to conduct EFA and CFA on separate samples. The overall reliability of the measure was good (alpha= .796), and the reliability of the two subscales were satisfactory with .742 for “social problems as rights violations” and .795 for “clients as experiencing rights violations.” A CFA (n = 199) confirmed the overall fit of the revised model with the two factors. Thus, the K-HRLSW is a reliable and valid measure that researchers can employ to assess Korean social workers’ human rights-related competencies in practice and their ability to promote human rights in social service settings.Keywords: Human rights practicemeasurementscale validationsocial worksocial services for older adultsKorea Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

韩国“社会工作中的人权镜头”量表装备社会工作者促进社会服务环境中的人权

摘要本研究提出韩国版社会工作人权视角量表(K-HRLSW)的验证，该量表可用于促进韩国社会服务环境中的人权。首先，翻译并改编了英语版的《HRLSW》，以适应韩国的语言和文化。然后，通过项目分析、探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性因子分析(CFA)来验证韩国语量表的心理测量特性。为了交叉效度，共401名社会工作者随机分为两组(组1 = 202;组2 = 199)分别对不同样本进行EFA和CFA。量表的整体信度良好(alpha= .796)，两个子量表的信度令人满意，“社会问题作为侵犯权利”的信度为。742，“客户作为遭受侵犯权利”的信度为。795。CFA (n = 199)证实了修正模型与这两个因素的整体拟合。因此，K-HRLSW是一个可靠和有效的衡量标准，研究人员可以使用它来评估韩国社会工作者在实践中与人权相关的能力，以及他们在社会服务环境中促进人权的能力。关键词:人权实践测量量表验证社会工作老年人社会服务韩国披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。
