Resumo(s)
The capabilities approach provides a rich
evaluative framework to guide transformative change in
the community mental health system. This study reports
the content and construct validity and psychometric
properties of a contextualized measure of the extent to
which mental health programs foster achieved capabilities.
The Achieved Capabilities Questionnaire for Community
Mental Health (ACQ-CMH), adapted from Nussbaum’s
capabilities framework, was developed previously with
consumer collaboration. Content validity was assessed
through a collaborative process, involving a panel of eight
consumers, staff members, and senior researchers. The
resulting shorter version (ACQ-CMH-98) was completed
by 332 community mental health consumers sampled
throughout Portugal. Factor (PCA) analysis, internal
consistency reliability, and test–retest reliability over
2 weeks (N = 33) showed good psychometric properties.
The resulting six-factor structure with 48 items explains
48.88% of the total variance (KMO = 0.89; Bartlett
p = .00). Internal consistency of the obtained dimensions
ranges from .91 to .76. Associations of the measure with
recovery, quality of life, and psychological distress scales
add further evidence of construct validity. The adaptation
of Nussbaum’s framework stressed specific components
that may enhance understanding and change within the
community mental health system.
