Abstract

The Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE)-15 scale is a widely used tool for measuring family functioning across three dimensions: strengths and adaptability, overwhelmed by difficulties, and disrupted communication. This study assessed the factorial validity and reliability of the SCORE-15 in the Mozambican context. Four-hundred university students completed the SCORE-15 scale and the depression, anxiety and hostility subscales of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). The confirmatory factor analysis supported a three-factor structure that presented adequate model fit and reliability indexes. Poorer family functioning was correlated with psychopathological symptoms, except for the association between depression and disrupted communication. Women revealed higher levels of disrupted communication, while being single was associated with lower levels of being overwhelmed by difficulties and disrupted communication. Age was positively associated with being overwhelmed by difficulties and disrupted communication. The Mozambican version of the SCORE-15 showed good factorial validity and reliability and can be used in this national diverse socio-cultural context.

Practitioner points

SCORE-15 is a systemic self-report measure for routine clinical use and research on family relationships.
In this study, SCORE-15 showed evidence of reliability and validity in Mozambique.

莫桑比克背景下的家庭功能：SCORE‐15量表的心理测量研究结果

系统临床结果和常规评估(SCORE)-15量表是一种广泛使用的工具，用于从三个方面衡量家庭功能:优势和适应性，被困难压倒，沟通中断。本研究评估了SCORE-15在莫桑比克背景下的析因效度和信度。400名大学生完成了SCORE-15量表和简短症状量表(BSI)的抑郁、焦虑和敌意分量表。验证性因子分析支持三因素结构，具有足够的模型拟合和可靠性指标。较差的家庭功能与精神病理症状相关，除了抑郁和沟通中断之间的关联。女性的沟通障碍程度较高，而单身人士被困难和沟通障碍所压倒的程度较低。年龄与被困难压倒和沟通中断呈正相关。莫桑比克版本的SCORE-15显示出良好的析因效度和信度，可以在这个国家多样化的社会文化背景下使用。从业者积分SCORE-15是一个系统的自我报告测量常规临床使用和家庭关系的研究。在这项研究中，SCORE-15在莫桑比克显示了信度和效度的证据。
