如果社会工作研究人员要准确地描述经历负面事件的客户的心理社会功能,他们需要考虑积极和消极的结果。本文介绍了创伤性应激源后自我报告的积极生活变化的新措施。因子分析表明,感知效益量表由八个子量表组成:生活方式的改变;物质利益;自我效能感,家庭亲密度,社区亲密度,对人的信心,同情心和灵性都有所提高。内部一致性和测试-重测试系数范围从足够到优秀。量表与严重程度指标相关,并因所经历的负面事件类型而异。
If social work researchers are to accurately describe the psychosocial functioning of clients who experience negative events, they need to consider positive as well as negative outcomes. In this article, new measures of self-reported positive life changes after traumatic stressors are introduced. Factor analyses suggest that the Perceived Benefit Scales consist of eight subscales: lifestyle changes; material gain; and increases in self-efficacy, family closeness, community closeness, faith in people, compassion, and spirituality. Internal consistency and test—retest coefficients range from adequate to excellent. The scales correlate with indicators of severity and differ by type of negative event experienced.
