摘要

目的:本研究的目的是评估KEY的结构效度和内部一致性,KEY是一种基于批判现实主义(critical realism)的有效性评估量表,旨在衡量社会工作的有效性。KEY是由来访者和社会工作者在干预前后共同完成的。材料和方法:研究材料包括来自芬兰四个城市的454名适龄工作社会工作客户。这些数据是在2018年3月至2019年底通过横断面调查收集的。采用结构方程模型验证性因子分析(CFA)评估结构效度,Cronbach’s alpha测量内部一致性。结果:结果表明KEY表现出良好的数据拟合,规范拟合指数范围为0.94至0.87,表明可以接受的心理测量特性。讨论:本研究的主要发现表明key量表具有令人满意的心理测量性质和结构效度。事实证明,关键是一个合适的工具,用于成人社会工作和衡量社会工作的有效性。结论:建议未来的研究重点放在KEY测量的预测验证上,这在收集纵向数据时是可能的。

The Structural Validity and Psychometric Properties of the KEY Measure.

Purpose: In this study our purpose is to evaluate the structural validity and internal consistency of the KEY, which is an effectiveness evaluation measure grounded in critical realism (CR) and designed to measure social work effectiveness. The KEY is completed collaboratively by the client and the social worker before and after interventions.

Materials and methods: Research material consists of 454 working-age social work clients from four Finnish municipalities. The data was collected between March 2018 and late 2019 via a cross-sectional survey. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with structural equation modeling was employed to assess construct validity, while Cronbach's alpha measured internal consistency.

Results: Results demonstrated that the KEY exhibited a good data fit, with a normed fit index ranging from 0.94 to 0.87, indicating acceptable psychometric properties.

Discussion: The key findings of this study demonstrate that the KEY measure possesses satisfactory psychometric properties and structural validity. The KEY proved to be a suitable tool for use in adult social work and for measuring the effectiveness of social work.

Conclusion: It is recommended that future studies focus on the predictive validation of the KEY measure, which becomes possible when longitudinal data are collected.
