Abstract
The present study aims to translate into Turkish and investigate the validity and reliability of the Mental Health Recovery Measure (MHRM). The sample consisted of 343 outpatients - and in-patients under treatment for a variety of psychiatric diagnoses at a state hospital and a university research hospital. The MHRM along with the Subjective Recovery Assessment Scale (SRAS), Psychological Well Being Scale (PWBS), Emotional Eating Scale (EES), and The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI). The mean MHRM total score was estimated at 31.66 (sd=10.02). Exploratory factor analysis revealed one single robust factor explaining 64% of the variance of the total scores. Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.94 and corrected item-total correlation coefficients were entirely above 0.60. The MHRM scores showed positive and strong correlations with the PWBS (r=0.695; p<0.001) and SRAS (r=0.732; p<0.001), negative and strong correlation with the ISMI (r=-0.696; p<0.001) and no correlation with the EES scores (r=-0.021; p=0.703). Our data provides initial evidence supporting the validity and reliability of the Turkish MHRM in evaluating the tendency for recovery of mental health consumers for clinical and research purposes. Further studies addressing psychometric properties of the scale are warranted.
