Abstract
AbstractThe SCORE‐15 Thai version was developed for clinical use in Thailand. This study aims to assess the internal reliability of the SCORE‐15 Thai version and its convergent validity with the Chulalongkorn Family Inventory (CFI), a measure modified from the Family Assessment Device (FAD), the perceptions of the family problems, and the mental health index. It exhibited a strong negative correlation with the CFI, a moderate negative correlation with the manageability rating and a weaker positive correlation with the severity rating. The internal reliability of both full‐scale and subscales of the SCORE‐15 was all good except for the communication subscale. The SCORE‐15 also showed a discriminative pattern among participants with varying states of mental health. In conclusion, the SCORE‐15 Thai version was generally a valid and reliable tool for family assessment in the clinical Thai population. Practitioner points It is essential to locally develop family assessment tools that are appropriate for the socio‐cultural context of the family therapy services. The SCORE‐15 Thai version generally exhibited acceptable internal reliability and good convergent validity with the CFI in the clinical Thai population. The family functioning and the manageability rating of the SCORE‐15 Thai version were significantly different among groups of people with varying states of mental health.
