增强权能是许多妇女健康干预措施的主要成果。然而，典型的结果测量仅关注特定症状，忽略了与增强权能和福祉相关的临床重要态度和行为。赋予权力的概念是使妇女能够获得技能和资源，以更有效地科普当前和未来的压力和创伤。本研究探讨了一种新的衡量女性个人赋权的方法，即个人进步量表修订版（PPS-R）。结果表明，PPS-R是一个很有前途的措施，妇女赋权，表现出良好的信度和效度在不同的妇女样本。此外，PPS-R对受虐待妇女亚组表现出初步效用，这是一个弱势妇女群体，对她们来说，赋权是一个非常重要的变量。
Empowerment is a primary outcome of many health interventions with women. Typical outcome measures, however, focus exclusively on specific symptoms, neglecting the clinically important attitudes and behaviors associated with increased empowerment and well-being. Empowerment is conceptualized as enabling women to access skills and resources to cope more effectively with current as well as future stress and trauma. This study investigated a new measure of personal empowerment in women, the Personal Progress Scale-Revised (PPS-R). Results suggest that the PPS-R is a promising measure of empowerment in women, demonstrating excellent reliability and validity in diverse sample of women. Additionally, the PPS-R demonstrated preliminary utility with a subgroup of abused women, a vulnerable group of women for whom empowerment is a variable of high importance.
