Psychische Gesundheitskompetenz am Arbeitsplatz

Validierung und Anpassung einer deutschsprachigen Version des Mental Health Literacy tool for the Workplace

Published Online:December 19, 2019https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000237

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Das Mental Health Literacy tool for the Workplace (MHL-W; Moll, Zanhour, Patten, Stuart & MacDermid, 2017) ist ein vignettenbasiertes Instrument mit 16 Items zur Messung psychischer Gesundheitskompetenz im Arbeitskontext. Nach der Übersetzung ins Deutsche sowie einer Anpassung der Vignetten anhand einer qualitativen Expertenbefragung, wurde das MHL-W-G an zwei deutschsprachigen Stichproben mit 122 Studierenden sowie 317 Berufstätigen hinsichtlich Reliabilität, Konstruktvalidität, Messinvarianz, Geschlechtereffekte und Faktorstruktur analysiert. Erstmalig wurde die Faktorenstruktur (EFA/CFA) des MHL-W-G untersucht: Im Gegensatz zu dem von Moll et al. (2017) ursprünglich angenommenen einfaktoriellen Modell zeigte ein Modell zweiter Ordnung eine deutlich bessere Passung. Weiterführende Analysen ergaben gute interne Konsistenzen und Intraklassenkorrelationen. Die Ergebnisse deuten auf Messinvarianz des MHL-W-G unabhängig vom Geschlecht hin. Insgesamt lassen die psychometrischen Eigenschaften den Schluss zu, dass mithilfe des MHL-W-G psychische Gesundheitskompetenz am Arbeitsplatz reliabel und valide erfasst werden kann.


Mental Health Literacy in the Workplace – Validation and Adaptation of a German Version of the MHL-W Tool

Abstract. The Mental Health Literacy Tool for the Workplace (MHL-W; Moll, Zanhour, Patten, Stuart, & MacDermid, 2017) is a vignette-based instrument with 16 items for measuring mental health literacy in the work context. After translation into German and adaptation of the vignettes on the basis of a qualitative expert survey, the MHL-W-G was analyzed with regard to reliability, construct validity, gender effects, and factor structure using two German-speaking samples of 122 students and 317 practitioners. For the first time, the factor structure (EFA/CFA) of the MHL-W-G was examined: In contrast to the one-factor model originally suggested by Moll et al. (2017), factor analysis for the MHL-W-G revealed a second-order model with significantly better model fit. Psychometric analyses indicated good internal consistency and intraclass correlations. Results supported measurement invariance of the MHL-W-G across genders. Overall, the psychometric properties indicate that the MHL-W-G can be used as a reliable and valid tool for measuring mental health literacy in the workplace.
