参与者流失和不依从是电子保健干预措施中的常见问题。需要更好地了解谁有兴趣使用这些技术。目前的研究开发和心理测量评估的电子健康准备规模，评估用户准备从事电子健康干预措施。量表项目的建设是由自我效能理论，以及电子健康和电子学习文献。使用本科生样本（N = 195，年龄18-51，M = 21.53，SD = 5.16）进行初始验证。在一项电子健康干预的随机对照试验中，使用军事心理健康提供者样本（N = 64，年龄29-80，M = 49.30，SD = 11.97）对量表进行了持续验证。结果表明，量表项目具有良好的内部信度（Cronbach的α =。81和0.83），以及稳定的单因子溶液。结果还建立了规模的结构效度。独立样本t检验的结果表明，在电子健康准备得分之间没有显着差异，谁没有参与电子健康干预，但得分为那些谁从事略高。目前的研究结果提供了初步支持的心理测量学特性的电子健康准备规模。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Participant attrition and non-adherence are common issues within eHealth interventions. There is need for a better understanding of who has interest in using these technologies. The current study developed and psychometrically evaluated the eHealth Readiness scale, which assesses user preparedness to engage in eHealth interventions. Construction of scale items was informed by the theory of self-efficacy, as well as the eHealth and eLearning literature. An initial validation was conducted with an undergraduate sample (N = 195, Aged 18-51, M = 21.53, SD = 5.16). Continued validation of the scale was done with a sample of military mental health providers (N = 64, Aged 29-80, M = 49.30, SD = 11.97) in a randomized controlled trial for an eHealth intervention. Results illustrated that scale items demonstrated good internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha =. 81 and 0.83), and a stable one-factor solution. Results also established construct validity for the scale. Results of an independent samples t-test indicated no significant difference in eHealth readiness scores between those who did and did not engage with the eHealth intervention, but scores for those who engaged were marginally higher. Current findings provide preliminary support for the psychometric properties of the eHealth readiness scale. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
