Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable indices, with loadings from 0.52 to 0.74 for personal and 0.46 to 0.71 for perceived public stigma beliefs. A significant positive correlation was found between personal and perceived public stigma beliefs and perceived public social distancing and services stigma.ConclusionThe Urdu version of the modified Stigma Beliefs Scale has reliable psychometric characteristics for evaluating attitudes toward mental illness among Pakistani adolescents and young adults.

乌尔都语翻译与耻感信念量表的心理测量验证

目的/目的本研究旨在将欧洲晴雨表中的“个人与感知公共污名信念量表”翻译并改编为乌尔都语，随后对其在巴基斯坦青少年和年轻人中的心理测量特性进行修改和评估。方法对来自巴基斯坦旁遮普省Layyah的1328名15 ~ 24岁的大学生进行横断面研究，采用污名化信念量表测量其对精神疾病的态度。结果乌尔都语版本具有良好的内部信度（个人信度α = 0.76，公众耻感信度α = 0.74）。验证性因子分析显示了可接受的指数，个人的负荷从0.52到0.74，感知到的公共污名信念的负荷从0.46到0.71。个人和感知到的公共耻辱信念与感知到的公共社会距离和服务耻辱之间存在显著的正相关。结论乌尔都语版改良污名信念量表具有可靠的心理测量特征，可用于评估巴基斯坦青少年和青壮年对精神疾病的态度。
