Abstract

ABSTRACT Most recently, the strength perspective and empowerment has been viewed as an important social work approach. The purpose of the study is to investigate the contexts of strengths perspective and its implication on the care of psychiatric disabilities. This study intended to develop a caregiving scale applied to the Taiwanese population by utilising the Taiwanese participants. The scale would provide practitioners with an instrument to evaluate the attitude of caregivers, the family positively, family relationship, resources and sense of empowerment. There were 209 caregivers participated in the study. This study utilised EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) to find the factor structure and CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) to test the internal reliability and validity. The scale has a good model of fit and good internal reliability.96. Four domains of the scale were family positively, family relationship and support, formal resources availability and empowerment. The scale could be applied to evaluate the effectiveness of empowerment intervention.

最近，力量视角和赋权被视为一种重要的社会工作方法。本研究旨在探讨优势观的背景及其对精神障碍照护的启示。本研究拟以台湾居民为研究对象，编制适用于台湾人口的照护量表。该量表将为从业者提供一种评估照顾者态度、家庭积极态度、家庭关系、资源和赋权感的工具。共有209名护理人员参与了这项研究。本研究采用探索性因子分析(EFA)寻找因子结构，验证性因子分析(CFA)检验内部信度和效度。该量表具有良好的模型拟合和良好的内部信度。量表的四个领域是家庭积极、家庭关系和支持、正式资源的可获得性和授权。该量表可用于评估赋权干预的有效性。
