รายละเอียด / Details:

The Thai Mental Health Questionnaire (TMHQ) has been developed for assessing the effectiveness of mental health services. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the TMHQ in patients in contact with mental services. Subjects age 12-74 years came from out-patient and acute in-patient units in general practice. We obtained the opinions of experienced professionals advocacy group and patient group to evaluate consensual and content validity. The results of this study showed that 1}205 patients were assessed using the TMHQ scale. Test-retest, odd-even, and Cronbach's Alpha reliability were good for some items and poor for others. The TMHQ had good criteion validity; acute in-patients had higher scores than out-patients. TMHQ also had good concurrent validity, correlating well with other-scale. Comments suggested that the TMHQ was a useful suitable scale for this population athough social factors were not sufficiently covered.
