Abstract

Objective: Substance Abuse Media Literacy (SAML) is a scale for assessing substance abuse media literacy among students. This tool can examine the effect of media exposure on substance abuse in youth. Presently, no validated, comprehensive instrument exists to measure media literacy for substance abuse. The current study aimed at assessing the psychometric features of the SAML scale in students. Methods: In this cross-sectional validation work, 436 students from Hamadan, Iran, were sampled via the stratified random sampling procedure, and their media literacy regarding substance abuse was investigated. Reliability was assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient and internal consistency. Moreover, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to examine the construct validity. Content Validity Index and Content Validity Ratio were used to examine the content validity. Results: Based on the results of factor analysis, the SAML included 13 items that measure 4 components, explaining 63.99% of the usual variance. The means scores for the Content Validity Index and Content Validity Ratio were 0.93 and 0.82, respectively. Further analyses revealed the acceptability of the results for internal consistency reliability values with a Cronbach α of 0.80. Conclusion: Based on factor analysis results, the SAML included 13 items is a valid and reliable tool and is now suitable and acceptable for present and future studies.

学生药物滥用媒介素养量表测量工具的研制

目的：药物滥用媒体素养（SAML）是一种评估学生药物滥用媒体素质的量表。该工具可以研究媒体曝光对青少年药物滥用的影响。目前，还没有经过验证的、全面的工具来衡量媒体对药物滥用的了解程度。本研究旨在评估学生SAML量表的心理测量特征。方法：在这项横断面验证工作中，通过分层随机抽样程序对来自伊朗哈马丹的436名学生进行抽样，并调查他们对药物滥用的媒体素养。通过组内相关系数和内部一致性来评估可靠性。此外，还进行了探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析来检验结构的有效性。采用内容有效性指数和内容有效率对内容的有效性进行检验。结果：基于因子分析结果，SAML包括13个测量4个成分的项目，解释了63.99%的常见方差。内容有效性指数和内容有效性比率的平均分分别为0.93和0.82。进一步的分析表明，Cronbachα为0.80的内部一致性可靠性值的结果是可接受的。结论：基于因子分析结果，包含13个项目的SAML是一种有效和可靠的工具，目前适合并可接受当前和未来的研究。
