Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the indicator of human rights of people with mental illness (HRPM). METHODS: The HRPM scale was administered to 382 inpatients at national hospital psychiatric (schizophrenia 77.0%, bipolar disorder 7.6%). Reliability of HRPM was tested by internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and item-total correlation. Domains and contents were examined for assessment of construct validity of HRPM. RESULTS: Human rights of people with mental illness was highly reliable in terms of internal consistency (Cronbach alpha=0.87), test-retest reliability (r=0.81), and corrected item-total correlation r range from 0.42 to 0.71. In addition, construct validity of HRPM was established with the domains and contents in conceptually expected ways. CONCLUSION: These results offer reliability and validity for the indicator of HRPM. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed, and future directions of study were suggested.
