背景信仰组织是促进健康的重要场所，特别是在医疗服务不足的社区。这些组织的结构能力差异很大，这可能与健康促进举措的执行成功率差异有关。由于缺乏对FBO具体组织能力的现有有效评估，因此开发了一个初步原型评估。法基于信仰的组织能力清单（FBO-CI）评估了三个结构性领域的能力：人员配备和空间，健康促进经验和外部合作。包括FBO领导人在内的多学科团队共同开发了最初的仪器。从34个非洲裔美国人的教堂，包括FBO代表三个能力水平的描述方便样本的初始可靠性报告。结果FBO-CI证明了使用面对面访谈格式进行管理的可行性，并且三个分量表具有可接受的内部信度（类似于.70）。大多数教会都有一个既定的卫生部（n = 23），并在过去两年中在平均七个卫生领域开展了活动。结论.这个最初的FBO-CI原型是有希望的，未来的工作应该考虑验证更大的样本的教堂和域扩展的基础上的概念模型。FBO-CI对于研究人员，FBO领导者和与FBO合作开展健康促进活动的从业人员具有许多潜在用途。
Background. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are important venues for health promotion, particularly in medically underserved communities. These organizations vary considerably in their structural capacities, which may be linked to variability in implementation success for health promotion initiatives. Lacking an existing validated assessment of organizational capacity specific to FBOs, an initial prototype assessment was developed. Method. The Faith-Based Organization Capacity Inventory (FBO-CI) assesses three structural areas of capacity: Staffing and Space, Health Promotion Experience, and External Collaboration. The multidisciplinary team, including FBO leaders, codeveloped the initial instrument. The initial reliability from a convenience sample of 34 African American churches including descriptions of FBOs representing three capacity levels is reported. Results. The FBO-CI demonstrated feasibility of administration using an in-person interview format, and the three subscales had acceptable internal reliability ( similar to.70). Most churches had an established health ministry (n = 23) and had conducted activities across an average of seven health areas in the previous 2 years. Conclusions. This initial FBO-CI prototype is promising, and future work should consider validation with a larger sample of churches and domain expansion based on the conceptual model. The FBO-CI has a number of potential uses for researchers, FBO leaders, and practitioners working with FBOs in health promotion initiatives.
