dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The aim of this study was to provide additional evidence on the psychometric properties in the Portuguese population of three stigma scales: Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), Scaling Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill 12 (CAMI-12), and Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale (RIBS). Methods: A total of 3556 participants were recruited and completed the three scales online. The study includes confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, and known-groups validity tests. Results: The results suggest that the European Portuguese RIBS version appears to be a valid measure of stigma in the Portuguese population, as well as the CAMI-12 “Prejudice and Exclusion” subscale and a modified version of MAKS. The results corroborate the existing evidence of a positive correlation between mental health-related stigma and low educational status, as well as reduced contact with someone with mental illness. Conclusion: The findings of this study contribute with additional evidence on the validity and reliability of the proposed European Portuguese versions of these three scales.eng
dc.description.abstractIntrodução: Este estudo visou fornecer evidências adicionais sobre as propriedades psicométricas na população portuguesa de três escalas de estigma: Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), Scaling Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill 12 (CAMI-12) e Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale (RIBS). Métodos: Um total de 3556 participantes foram recrutados e completaram as três escalas online. O estudo inclui análise fatorial confirmatória, análise da consistência interna, teste-reteste, validade convergente e validade de grupos-conhecidos. Resultados: Os resultados sugerem que a versão portuguesa do RIBS parece ser um instrumento válido de avaliação do estigma na população portuguesa, assim como a subescala “Preconceito e Exclusão” da CAMI-12 e uma versão modificada do MAKS. Os resultados corroboram as evidências existentes de uma correlação positiva entre estigma relacionado à saúde mental e baixo nível educacional, assim como contato reduzido com alguém com doença mental. Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo contribuem com evidência adicional das propriedades psicométricas das versões propostas destas três escalas.por
