摘要
背景:成长和赋权测量是由原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民成年人开发的,用于测量社会和情感福祉和赋权。本研究旨在共同设计和验证原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民青年经历青少年拘留的成长和赋权措施。方法:以103名原住民及托雷斯海峡岛民青少年为研究对象。与会者根据《成人成长与赋权措施》改编了7部影片,创建了《成长与赋权措施-青年》(GEM-Youth)。78名参与者完成了GEM-Youth version 7, 57名参与者完成了完整的GEM-Youth version 7和Kessler心理困扰量表(K10)。对GEM-Youth的两个组成部分:我对自己的感觉和对日常生活的思考,计算了Cronbach’s alpha和项目间相关性。K10和GEM-Youth评分之间的关联使用Pearson相关进行量化。结果:“我对自己的感觉”问题的平均项目间相关系数为(0.21),内部一致性较好(α = 0.80)。思考我的日常生活问题的平均项目间相关系数为0.18,内部一致性为α = 0.69。我对自己的感觉表现出强烈的负相关(r(55) = -0.61,[95%置信区间:-0.42,-0.75]p p = 0.02)。启示:GEM-Youth提供了一种文化基础和有效的措施,以评估土著和托雷斯海峡岛民青年在拘留环境中的社会和情感福祉和赋权。该措施具有治疗和研究价值,有待进一步完善和探索。未来的研究应该适应和验证这个工具用于其他群体和设置。
Development of a growth and empowerment tool (GEM-Youth) co-designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.
Background: The Growth and Empowerment Measure was developed by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults to measure social and emotional well-being and empowerment. This study aimed to co-design and validate a version of the Growth and Empowerment Measure with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people experiencing youth detention.
Method: 103 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people experiencing youth detention participated. Participants directed seven adaptations from the Growth and Empowerment Measure for adults to create a Growth and Empowerment Measure-Youth (GEM-Youth). 78 participants completed the GEM-Youth version 7 and 57 participants completed both the full GEM-Youth version 7 and the Kessler psychological distress scale (K10). Cronbach's alpha and inter-item correlations were calculated for two components of the GEM-Youth: how I feel about myself and thinking about my everyday life. Associations between K10 and GEM-Youth scores were quantified using Pearson's correlation.
Results: How I feel about myself questions had a mean inter-item correlation of (0.21) and good internal consistency (α = 0.80). Thinking about my everyday life questions had a mean inter-item correlation of 0.18 and internal consistency of α = 0.69. How I feel about myself showed a strong negative correlation (r(55) = -0.61, [95% confidence interval: -0.42, -0.75] p < 0.001) with K10. Thinking about my everyday life showed a moderate negative correlation with K10 (-0.31, [95% confidence interval: -0.05, -0.52] p = 0.02).
Implications: The GEM-Youth provides a culturally grounded and validated measure to assess social and emotional well-being and empowerment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in detention settings. This measure has therapeutic and research value that should be further refined and explored. Future research should adapt and validate this tool for use with other groups and settings.
