Development And Validation

The objective of this research was to develop and validate the Arabic Scale of Mental Health (ASMH) as a generic screening measure and research tool for adults and adolescents. Several samples of both sexes were recruited ( N = 3,619). Their ages ranged between 15 and 71 years. The scale has two equivalent versions: Arabic and English. The ASMH comprises 40 brief statements plus 10 filler items. Principal components analysis yielded six components labeled: satisfaction, self-confidence, optimism, enjoyment, meaningful life, and stability. Item-remainder correlations ranged between .31 and .79. Reliabilities in these samples indicated good internal consistency (alphas = .94 to .96) and temporal stability (7- to 10-day test-retest r = .84 to .94). The ASMH significantly and positively correlated with measures of happiness, satisfaction with life, hope, optimism, love of life, and self-actualization, from which one salient component was identified. Therefore, initial convergent and factorial validities were adequate. Male undergraduates obtained a higher mean score than did both their female counterparts and male employed workers, but the effect size was small. It was concluded that the ASMH has good psychometric characteristics in its Arabic version. The English version merits investigation in a cross-cultural study.

Individual Difference Measure

Even though self-confidence is a popular concept both in everyday life and in psychology, no individual difference measure is available. The purpose of this study was to construct and validate an 18-item self-confidence scale. A sample of 191 white undergraduate students from Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (44 men and 147 women) participated. An exploratory factor analysis indicated two distinct factors; one measured a general cognitive aspect of self-confidence and a second evaluated a more specific self-confidence in one's abilities and opinions. Internal consistency (Cronbach α) was .84. Intercorrelations with other related measures (.23 to .69) were significant and in the expected direction. The new scale could be useful when a specific measure of self-confidence is required as an individual difference measure.

179 Background: Worldwide healthcare systems identify a need to provide better evidence based service models for palliative care. There is little data and no standard tool that informs clinicians’ perceptions on palliative care to identify areas for service improvement and education. We aimed to develop and validate a tool to determine perceptions of hospital staff on palliative care provision, self confidence in providing palliative care, and predictors and barriers to requesting assistance. Methods: 604 hospital clinicians were recruited in person and online from a large metropolitan public tertiary teaching hospital network involving 5 campuses and 2 medical schools. They completed the CPPS (Clinician Palliative Perception Scale). Principal components analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and logistic regression were performed to examine the factor structure and relationship to clinical practice. Results: Four factors were extracted: confidence in providing palliative care, requesting assistance, global perceptions on palliative care provision, and barriers to referring. Increased confidence was significantly associated with increased likelihood of referring or requesting assistance and also associated with a good global perception on palliative care provision. Confidence was also significantly associated with years of experience and with spending > 50% time looking after dying patients. Good perception of palliative care provision was highest among oncologists. Conclusions: This is the largest quantitative study ever done looking at perceptions of palliative care provision among health professionals. The CPPS is a valid and reliable tool useful for both practice and research. Its 4 identified constructs are consistent with literature on perceptions and utilisation of palliative care services. Barriers to referring involved misconceptions that palliative care would prematurely shorten patient lifespans. Others did not refer due to confidence in their own skill. This tool can be used to correlate these constructs against other solid outcome measures to assist in service improvement and identifying research needs. It can also be used to determine clinicians’ educational requirements.

Additional Data Collection

Purpose The use of real-time recording technology for clinical instruction allows student clinicians to more easily collect data, self-reflect, and move toward independence as supervisors continue to provide continuation of supportive methods. This article discusses how the use of high-definition real-time recording, Bluetooth technology, and embedded annotation may enhance the supervisory process. It also reports results of graduate students' perception of the benefits and satisfaction with the types of technology used. Method Survey data were collected from graduate students about their use and perceived benefits of advanced technology to support supervision during their 1st clinical experience. Results Survey results indicate that students found the use of their video recordings useful for self-evaluation, data collection, and therapy preparation. The students also perceived an increase in self-confidence through the use of the Bluetooth headsets as their supervisors could provide guidance and encouragement without interrupting the flow of their therapy sessions by entering the room to redirect them. Conclusions The use of video recording technology can provide opportunities for students to review: videos of prospective clients they will be treating, their treatment videos for self-assessment purposes, and for additional data collection. Bluetooth technology provides immediate communication between the clinical educator and the student. Students reported that the result of that communication can improve their self-confidence, perceived performance, and subsequent shift toward independence.
