Abstract

Aims

To culturally adapt the OMS-HC and examine its psychometric properties in a sample of nursing students in Spain.

Design

A cross-sectional validation study design

Methods

The original scale was translated and adapted following the International Test Commission guidelines for translating and adapting tests. The reliability was measured using the ordinal alpha method. The factor structure was determined by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). A CFA was performed using the Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) estimation method for ordinal data with robust standard errors. Convergent validity was assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between the OMS-HC scale and the Level of Contact Report.

Results

A total of 747 nursing students participated in the study. The Spanish version tested on nursing students included 15 items and the factorial structure was one-dimensional. This model obtained a good fit for both the absolute and the incremental fit indices. Convergent validity results showed a negative correlation between the level of contact report and scores on the one-dimensional version of the OMS-HC-15 items. The reliability was acceptable, as reflected by the ordinal alpha.

Conclusion

The OMS-HC has adequate psychometric properties in Spanish nursing students. This questionnaire may be useful for measuring a single aspect, namely stigma.

Implications for the profession

Its relevance lies in the possibility for instructors to measure changes in stigma following educational or awareness-raising interventions to ensure that people with mental disorders receive better healthcare.

西班牙语版卫生保健提供者开放思想量表（OMS-HC）在护理学生中的心理测量特性

目的在西班牙的护理学生样本中，文化适应OMS-HC并检查其心理测量特性。设计横断面验证研究设计方法原始量表按照国际测试委员会翻译和改编测试指南进行翻译和改编。信度采用序数α法测定。采用验证性因子分析（Confirmatory factor Analysis， CFA）确定因子结构。使用对角加权最小二乘（DWLS）估计方法对具有鲁棒标准误差的有序数据进行CFA。采用ms - hc量表与接触报告水平之间的Spearman等级相关系数评估收敛效度。结果共747名护生参与本研究。对护生的西班牙语版本测试包括15个条目，析因结构为一维。该模型对绝对拟合指标和增量拟合指标均有较好的拟合效果。收敛效度结果显示，接触报告水平与OMS-HC-15单项得分呈负相关。从序数alpha可以看出，可靠性是可以接受的。结论OMS-HC在西班牙护生中具有良好的心理测量特性。这个问卷可能对测量一个方面有用，即病耻感。对专业人员的影响其相关性在于指导者有可能在教育或提高认识的干预措施之后衡量耻辱感的变化，以确保精神障碍患者获得更好的医疗保健。
