Abstract

Background

Children living with a mentally ill parent are a vulnerable group in the population, at higher risk of various psychosocial and mental health problems. They are also over-represented in youth mental health and child protective services. Adult mental health services that treat parents have an opportunity to identify and support children in these families.

Objectives

This study determines the structure and reliability of an adapted French version of the Family-Focused Mental Health Practice Questionnaire (FFMHPQ), that has been validated to assess the use of family-focused practices (FFP) by professionals offering services to adults with mental illnesses.

Methods

In total, 512 French-speaking adult mental health workers from all regions of Quebec, Canada, completed the French version of the FFMHPQ. Participants were mostly women (87.1%), with a mean age of 40.3 years, and an average of 8.70 years of experience in their current job. The sample included professionals from a variety of disciplines, including social work, nursing, psychology, psycho-education, special education, medicine, and occupational therapy. The FFMHPQ-FR was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and other psychometric properties.

Results

Exploratory factor analysis revealed 5 factors: family-focused practices; workplace support, professionals’ perceived skills, knowledge and confidence; professionals’ openness to improving their practice, and professionals’ attitudes and beliefs toward FFP. The Cronbach's alphas of the first four factors qualified as high reliability (α = .85; α = .87; α = .89; α = .82), and the fifth factor indicated moderate reliability (α = .61). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all single-factor models presented good fit indices (RMSEA < .08, SRMR < .08, CFI > .90 and CMIN/DF < 3) and loadings. Results of the full five-factor model presented good fit on all indices, except for the CFI.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that the French version of the FFMHPQ is reliable and can be used to estimate the scope of FFP in mental health services, and to inform stakeholders about possible enablers and barriers to FFP among professionals, making it a highly relevant tool for improving professional practices in mental health services.

以家庭为重点的心理健康实践问卷（FFMHPQ）法文版的心理测量特性

背景与患有精神疾病的父母生活在一起的儿童是人口中的弱势群体，他们面临各种社会心理和精神健康问题的风险较高。他们在青少年心理健康和儿童保护服务中的比例也过高。本研究确定了改编后的法文版 "以家庭为中心的心理健康实践问卷"（FFMHPQ）的结构和可靠性，该问卷已通过验证，可用于评估为成人精神病患者提供服务的专业人员对以家庭为中心的实践（FFP）的使用情况。参与者大多为女性（87.1%），平均年龄为 40.3 岁，平均工作年限为 8.70 年。样本包括来自不同学科的专业人员，包括社会工作、护理、心理学、心理教育、特殊教育、医学和职业治疗。结果探索性因子分析揭示了 5 个因子：以家庭为中心的实践；工作场所支持；专业人员感知到的技能、知识和信心；专业人员对改进实践的开放性；专业人员对家庭护理的态度和信念。前四个因子的克朗巴赫系数（Cronbach's alphas）为高可靠性（α = .85；α = .87；α = .89；α = .82），第五个因子为中等可靠性（α = .61）。确认性因素分析表明，所有单因素模型都具有良好的拟合指数（RMSEA < .08，SRMR < .08，CFI > .90，CMIN/DF < 3）和载荷。结论研究结果表明，法文版的 FFMHPQ 是可靠的，可用于估算心理健康服务中的 FFP 范围，并让利益相关者了解专业人员中实现 FFP 的可能推动因素和障碍，使其成为改善心理健康服务专业实践的重要工具。
