目的：赋权是康复的一个关键方面，也是心理健康领域的一个常用术语，但很少有一致的定义或有效的衡量标准。这项研究进行了心理测试的授权规模，在该领域广泛使用的措施。研究方法：作为由物质滥用和精神卫生服务管理局资助的消费者操作的多站点研究的一部分，对精神残疾的消费者进行了授权量表沿着以及其他几个量表，以测量临床状态和心理社会因素。结果：分析产生了五个因素与可接受的拟合统计。总量表具有良好的信度和效度。结论：分析提供了额外的证据，总赋权量表得分是一个可靠的，有效的措施，规模的分量表似乎不太稳健。授权被认为是一个重要因素，在恢复为导向的方案和系统，并使用心理测量健全的措施，如授权规模，因此可能是有用的评估。（精神病学服务61：933- 936，2010）
Objective: Empowerment is a key aspect of recovery and a common term in the mental health field, but there are few consistent definitions or validated measures of the construct. This study conducted psychometric testing on the Empowerment Scale, a widely used measure in the field. Methods: As part of the Consumer-Operated Multi-Site study funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, consumers with a psychiatric disability were administered the Empowerment Scale along with several other scales to measure clinical status and psychosocial factors. Results: Analyses produced five factors with acceptable fit statistics. The total scale demonstrated excellent reliability and validity. Conclusions: Analyses provide additional evidence that the total Empowerment Scale score is a reliable, valid measure; subscales of the scale appear less robust. Empowerment is considered an essential factor in recovery-oriented programs and systems, and the use of psychometrically sound measures such as the Empowerment Scale therefore may be useful to evaluators.
