Area of Science:

Psychiatry and Mental Health
Health Outcomes Research
Psychometric Measurement

Background:

Assessing psychiatric well-being is crucial for individuals with serious mental illness.
Existing outcome measures may not fully capture the nuances of recovery for this population.
Co-occurring substance abuse disorders complicate treatment and outcome assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an original outcomes measurement scale, the Psychiatric Well-Being (PWB) scale.
To provide a tool for agencies serving adults with serious psychiatric disorders.
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the PWB scale.

Main Methods:

Development of a series of statements reflecting psychiatric well-being.
Administration of the scale to an adult population with serious psychiatric disorders.
Statistical analysis to determine validity, reliability, and internal consistency.

Main Results:

The Psychiatric Well-Being (PWB) scale was successfully developed.
The scale demonstrated acceptable validity, reliability, and internal consistency.
The PWB scale is suitable for measuring outcomes in this population.

Conclusions:

The PWB scale is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing psychiatric well-being.
The scale can be directly applied to agencies serving similar populations.
The PWB scale's characteristics can be adapted for use with other populations.
